Club PLAY website....

I know that some of you have already seen our new website, but for the rest, here is the address to our web page!

www.clubplayanacortes.webstarts.com

Next week will be our first June rehearsal, so we're going to start practicing the VBS skits.  We're also planning on running through Arsenic and Old Lace, Forrest Gump, and whatever else we might have time for.  Hope to see you there!

Addition to the "Silver Screen" play!

There is going to be another act in our Fall Play, the song "How do you Solve a Problem Like Maria" from the Sound of Music!  So, we have several ladies who are going to be the nuns!  This means that we're going to need NUN COSTUMES!!!  I think that June Dixon, who is planning on letting us borrow some of the other costumes we'll need in the fall, might have some nun outfits, but I don't know if she'll have 8 of them.  If anyone knows either where to find some inexpensive ones, or how to make some, that would be very helpful!

So far, here are the ladies that I know are planning to participate in this song:

Rose Murray                        
Janet Pearce
Betsy Mosely
Jeanne Elliott
Jacquie Zoolkowski
Myrna Eastman
Jody Lynn


There is still room for a few "extras" if anyone else is planning on participating, but please let me know asap.  There should only really be 8 or 9 women tops in this scene. Thank You!!

I will be planning a day in early June, I think for all of us to touch bases and assign parts, and go through the song once or twice, to give everyone a jump-start for the summer.  Then, after that, everyone will have their scripts, and we won't need to worry about getting everyone together again until August and September.

Thank you everyone, and I hope to see you all soon!

Upcoming weeks.....

Hello again .... Last week at Club PLAY was a blast!  The kids took part in an activity that will hopefully encourage them to be "over the top", as it is called, as actors when they're on stage.  We talked about having to over-exaggerate things, since as actors we're just one small person on a big stage in a big room.  Movements, facial expressions, and how you say your lines are all important to think about, showing the audience what your character is feeling.


Also, there are going to be some fun things coming up at Club PLAY meetings!
Next week, the kids are going to have the chance to split into groups of 3 or 4 and write their own 1-act plays!

The Club will be having a fundraiser event in mid/late July, and this fun writing day will help us prepare for the show that will be performed at the fundraiser.
Then, starting in June, the rehearsal time will be split between practicing the skits for VBS and the acts for the fall play, Once Upon the Silver Screen.

All you parents, here are the kids who have signed up, wanting to participate in the upcoming events.  Will you please RSVP and let me know if you're giving them the OK ??? Thank you!
(VBS is the last week in June, M-F, in the evenings.)


Fundraiser Skits:  (to be performed in mid or late July)
                                                                                           
Lukas Barney
Joshua and Alyssa Digweed (and friends Sam and Kate)
Logan and Sierra Scamfer

       We are going to have parts for as many kids want to participate in this event, so there is still room for Lauren, Brooklyn, Jayna, Skyler, Mia and Molly as well, if they would like to be a part of it!

VBS skits:  (performed the last week of June)

Ethan Evans
Lukas Barney
Logan Scamfer
Joshua and Alyssa Digweed (and friends Sam and Kate)

       Again, there is still room for Lauren and Brooklyn, Mia and Molly, and Skyler, if any or all of them would like to take part in it.

That's all for now!  I hope to hear back from you soon, so I can start planning out what parts to give everyone, especially for the VBS skits!!
Have a great week everyone!

Updating...

Hello everyone!  I hope you're all staying well!
Just to let everyone know where the Acting Club is at the moment.....

Last week we played "Jeopardy" and rehearsed a bit for the Silver Screen play.  It's been really low-key rehearsals we've been having, and next week we're taking a break for Mother's Day, so there won't be any rehearsals that day.  There will be Silver Screen rehearsals on Sunday, May 20th, specifically:

Anne of Green Gables
The Princess Bride
Forrest Gump
Narnia
"So Long, Farewell"
          .........and whatever else we have time for.  So, if you are in any of these scenes, will you please try and make it to practice?  Thank you!  : )

On the 27th, there is going to be a change from what we had planned.  We're going to do a fun activity on that day, so bring your imagination along with you!!!


Also, and this is an important note, the Acting Club is going to be doing the skits for VBS this year!
So, if you're interested in participating, even if you haven't been regularly coming to rehearsals, please let me know!  We will be practicing these skits for the month of June, and VBS is going to be the last week in June.  


Please RSVP to me by May 31st to let me know if you are interested in participating in VBS skits, so I can assign parts.  Thanks again!!  Any questions, feel free to ask me!!


Thank you all!!

Rehearsals May 6th

There is going to be a fun activity this coming Sunday... JEOPARDY!!

So, everyone think back on the last two plays.... Operation Messiah and The Christmas Pageant, and look over the club rules and acting terms so you're familiar with them, since those will be the categories for the game.  After we play, we're going to practice a few scenes as time permits.  The main thing I'm going to shoot for is practicing the Willy Wonka scene, so if you're in that one and are able to make it, I hope I'll see you there!

Thanks everyone!!

Also, the Sunday after next we'll have NO REHEARSALS because of Mother's Day! Enjoy the time!
