The musical was a huge success with one of our biggest crowds ever. Besides some Opening Night excitement in the form of a second act evacuation due to a severe storm, the show went off without a hitch. Audiences were very responsive. Thanks to everyone who supported us.
If you have pictures you would like to post or contribute to the archive, please put them on a disk and get them to Mr. Hicks.
Join us for the spring musical this week. Tickets are $8.00 at the door.

Once again I am amazed and overwhelmed by all your effort and generosity. Saturday’s work call was a huge success. We made enormous progress on costumes, props, and the set. Thanks to everyone who pitched in.
This coming week we will have full cast rehearsals from 3:30 - 6:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I may call a small rehearsal on Wednesday, but it will only be for specific songs or scenes TBA. Then we have our spring break.
On Sunday, August 12 (Easter), I will be up at the school in the afternoon trying to get a jump on the set construction that we cannot begin until after the break. I realize this is a holiday, but if there is anyone who would be willing to help, please come by. I will be there from 1:00 until about 4:00.
Also, we are planning to reorder the show t-shirt, but I need an exact count. If your student would like a shirt, please send $10.00 cash or check made out to Kell High School by Wednesday of this week.
