New Jeopardy day

Just me again....  we had a very small turnout on Tuesday, so we're going to wait and play Jeopardy on Sunday.  For all of you who have your scripts for the Silver Screen, let's get back to working on those lines! We've got two months still until our next show!  Hope you see you Sunday!




A small group of us watched scenes from Newsies and ate fresh popcorn!

A change of scenery....

Wow, that was fun!  Just a Taste went over well, for the FBC soup kitchen and for Club PLAY.  Thank you everyone!! Now that it's over, we're moving on to "Once Upon the Silver Screen".  This Tuesday from 1-3 will be a fun day, with Club PLAY Jeopardy and watching some videos, as well as verifying who is playing what parts in our upcoming play.  Hope to see you all there!

One more rehearsal to go!

Hello everyone!  The kids are all doing great, and we have one rehearsal left until the play, so here's the scoop:

Everyone really knows their lines, there are just a few spots where they're unsure of their cues, so everyone, make sure you pair your cues with your lines, so you know just when to say them!
(Lukas, don't forget to memorize your lines from While you Were Sleeping!) :)

The schedule Sunday will go like this~~
Rehearsal from 12:30 - 2:00 in the great room
Arrive at church for the play at 4:30, event should be over by 6:30

Just a reminder about what the kids should wear on Sunday:

Girls - jeans or khaki-type shorts (not too short) and tank tops (for under dresses) and a solid-colored t-shirt with NO design ( I am providing shirts for Lauren, Brooklyn, Alyssa, and Hope.)  Also, girls need to bring a pair of slip-on shoes for the Little Princess scene, and a pair of tennis shoes that they can slip into for the Newsies scene.

Boys - wear jeans or khaki-type shorts (solid colors) and button-down shirts, either plaid or solid, short sleeved preferably. I have 2 solid-colored t-shirts just in case someone needs one.  Also, wear tennis shoes.

Thank you!
P. S.  One more note:
The Tuesday after the play is going to be a Jeopardy day!  So, just a reminder about what we've been learning:
Upstage, downstage, stage right and left, backstage, the house, control room, green room, choreography and blocking.  (choreography is movements during a song or dance routine and blocking is positions during a play)

Challenge!!

Passing on the info that I've given the kids a challenge for this week:  To spend 10 minutes a day, every day, going over their lines and their cues so we can see how soon we can go through things without our scripts!
The kids are really doing great, especially learning the song from Newsies.  I've been trying to help them learn how to get "in character" as well, which often comes with being familiar and comfortable with the material.

Thank you all!  I hope the kids passed along the papers to their parents to let you know about when  to arrive at the church on the 22nd, and what the kids should be wearing that night to be ready for costumes.

See you soon
