Hello Everyone!
I'm looking forward to starting HIS Drama Troupe's new season! This season is going to be especially exciting, too. Not only will we see the premiere of a new play, but we'll hopefully have a longer time to practice as well. Also, we can look forward to delving deeper into dramatic knowledge this year.
This season HIS Drama Troupe is going to be producing the children's play "Princess Furball", the timeless story of a brave heroine struggling through trials presented in a new, comedic fashion!
Audiences of all ages will love this fresh new adaption.
There are a few changes since last time. We still meet on Fridays and the time (4:00 - 5:45 pm) is the same. But instead of only eight practices we're looking at ten. Also, instead of meeting every other
week we'll be meeting every week. This helps keep the Drama Troupe season smooth and makes it easier to plan for.
We will also be switching back and forth from meeting at the Edinburg Library to meeting at Edinburg Park (practice will be canceled on days that are cold, rainy or stormy). Parents, on the days when we meet at the park, please stay with your kids (and if anyone knows an alternative meeting place besides the park - indoors - that we could use, I would be glad to hear your suggestions).
On the days when we meet at the library, we'll have the first 30 minutes outside the building like last time (but if it's cold, rainy or stormy wait until 4:30 when we move inside the building). Finally, while we're talking about changes, I'm pretty certain we're going to have a bigger group. The more the merrier, right?
:)
And so, we come to the dates. Again, all of them are on Fridays at Edinburg Library/Edinburg Park from 4:00 - 5:45 pm. And they are as follows:
- March 18th,
- March 25th,
- April 1st,
- April 8th,
- April 15th,
- April 22nd,
- April 29th,
- May 6th,
- May 13th,
- May 20th.
If you know beforehand if you will miss any of these dates, please let me know ahead of time.
And there's also another change too. This time I'm doing it a little differently by having sign ups. That way, if I have to cancel a practice or something comes up I can call. It also helps me know beforehand how many people I'm going to have in the group and their ages, which helps me plan activities and things like that. So, if you'd like to join us this season, please fill out this form (one for each participant):
Name:
Age:
Parent's email:
Participant's email (if different from above):
Parent's phone #:
Speaking of ages, the activities and practices would probably work best for those 8 and up, and the ability to read would be a helpful skill to have tucked under the participant's belt. But parents, it's up to you whether or not your child is or would be ready for Drama Troupe.
Finally, I hope to see you at our practices this season! Looking forward to starting HIS Drama Troupe again! :)
