Hello Theatre Society and our fabulous Hot Mikado participants!

Now is the magical time of JHS Shows in which we start discussing our bios for the lobby display! We ask every cast and crew member to write up a short bio to be placed below your photo on the lobby display so that our audience can know a little about who you guys are prior to seeing the show. 

Your bios must include your:

- Name

- Grade

- Crew/Character

- Theatre credits prior to Hot Mikado

- Any comments you may have about your show experience

We ask that your bio is written in third person & does not exceed 100 words. When you have completed your bio, send it to: jacksonhstheatresociety@gmail.com. We ask that your bio is in by October 14 so that we may make arrangements for it on the display. 

Note: If we do not have 75% or more of the bios, they will not be displayed so please be considerate of your fellow theatre society members and submit your bios! 

Here are some exemplary bios from Macbeth ‘fo yo perusing:

Ethan Lee, playing the role of Malcolm, is having a blast participating in drama and music this year! Previous performances include You Can’t Take It With You (Officer), Little Women (Rodrigo) and Into the Woods (Rapunzel’s Prince). He wants to thank his fellow cast mates for all their hard work and dedication! He also wants to thank his family for their love and support.

Olivia Sastry (12th grade) is Macbeth's scenic designer and a member of set & paint crew. Prior to Macbeth, Olivia worked on Into the Woods, Tartuffe, Little Women, You Can't Take It With You, and Charlie Brown. This is Olivia's last production and she is forever grateful to all the people who worked on it with her. Hope you enjoy the show as much as she does!

Thank you guys in advance!

Remind app!!

Hello everyone!
Theatre Society now has a Remind app set up for our use and communication with you. Sign up for remind below on the app, which can be found in the app store on smartphones, or text the code to the number below to get important reminders!

Thanks for making our first few weeks back to school amazing everyone and keep up the great work!

Next Year's Shows & Academies Mistakes!

Howdy y'all!

This is Rachel Anne, yo friendly neighborhood 2016-17 publicity manager. FIRST OF ALL, thank you guys so much for a great Summer Shove-Off! This past year has been such an amazing journey and I can hardly contain my excitement for next year.

If you haven't heard, it was announced yesterday that our fall musical for next year will be Hot Mikado and our spring play will be Radium Girls! If you don't know the shows, make sure to do some research so that we can all be extra-pumped for next year!

Unfortunately there was a bit of a mixup at Shove Off yesterday and not everyone who won an award received theirs. The categories that were left out and those who won them were:

Best On-Stage Couple: Marguerite & Jeremy (Baker & Baker's Wife)
Best On-Stage Laugh: Jackson
Best On-Stage Screw Up: The Into the Woods Scene Flip-Flop (award recipients: Juliana & Kristen)
Best On-Stage Hair: Rachel (eyyyyy)

If any of you have not yet received your physical award, hit up Rebecca and she'll hook you up.

I cannot even describe the excitement that all of us officers have for this next year. We really want to make our shows and our community the best it can possibly be. Until then, research the shows, love on all yo theatre friends, and have a wondrous day.

Meeting June 6th!

Happy almost-summer!

We have our last meeting of the year tomorrow, June 6th, at 2:15! 

To vote for the Academies (the end of the year awards), you must come to this meeting. The ballot will be distributed and due by the end of the meeting.

Also, you will receive your invite to the Summer Shove-Off! 

The Summer Shove-off is this Sunday, June 12th, starting at 1pm at Trevor's house!

You need this invite to come, as it has the party's address, time, and your required contribution. 

This might probably be my last blogspot post, and I wanted to say thank you to y'all for such an awesome year, and I have so loved writing and organizing this resource. 

And, see you tomorrow! :) 

Civil War & More!

Hey guys!

As I listen to my High School Musical 3: Senior Year album, and reflect on the awesome year we've had, I am comforted by the fact that it is not over yet!

We still have our Into the Woods Viewing Party redemption this Tuesday, May 24th right after school.
If you bring snacks, please bring enough to share!

And lucky for us, Thursday, May 26th at 6pm in the library is the Improv Civil War! It's going to be a night of fun, laughs, and alumni, so we hope you can all come support.

Monday, June 6th is our final Theatre Society meeting, so please be there to be able to vote for club awards, and get your invite to our party (The Summer Shove-Off) that next Sunday, June 12th.
Your Summer Shove-Off Invite will have the party location (Trevor's address) and what item we need you to bring.

REMEMBER: We need awards ballots by the end of the meeting on June 6th!

See you all soon!

Change of Plans!

Hey everyone, we have had an eventful week so far!

Thank you for all those who turned up for the Campus Clean-up! It was a tough call, but the garden hoe and bundt cake tin took the prize for weirdest combo. Shoutout to the "metal thing"!

We had our Into the Woods Viewing Party scheduled for today (May 10), but we didn't have the recording ready, and watched The Emperor's New Groove instead.

Don't worry, we will still get our viewing party! It is now scheduled for Tuesday, May 24th.

On another note, if you are planning on competing in the improv Civil War, show up this Thursday, May 12th!


Thank you, everybody, and see you May 12th for improv and/or May 24th for the Into the Woods Viewing Party!

Your End-of-the-Year FAQ's mostly answered!

Hello everyone!

A huge thank you again to all of you that came to the meeting to vote, and all of you who ran for office! It's just like casting where there are more qualified people than there are positions, but we want you all and enjoy all the great things you guys bring! Thank you for all the effort you put into your amazing presentations and your passion for theatre!

The 2016-2017 Officers are:

President - Rebecca S.

Vice President - Ethan L.

Secretary - Lettie B.

Treasurer - Zach F.

Publicity Manager - Rachel K.

Graphic Designer - Lydia H.

Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions regarding the end of the year! (Also found on the tab and the "DATES AT A GLANCE" organizer).

When/what is the Civil War?

Thursday, May 26th. 

The Civil War is an improv show put on by our captains, Trevor and Andrew. They put together teams from improv club to showcase what they've been working on, and even invite improv alumni to come and compete against us! 

Are we going to have an Into the Woods viewing party? If so, when?

Yes! We are going to watch the recording of our show on Wednesday, May 25th right after school. If you bring snacks, bring enough to share!

The show is 2 and a half hours.

Hey, speaking of viewing our shows, Macbeth DVD's?
Yeah, sorry about not updating the page. 

If you have ordered one, they are here and you can pick it up.

 However, if you weren't sure of the ordering details and would like to still order one, please check out the photographer's website here.

Ok, cool, thank you.

You're welcome!

Oh, and what's this I've heard about a Campus Clean-up?
Our campus clean-up is scheduled for May 9th, right after school til 3:30pm.

This is what it sounds like - a day where we go outside and pick up garbage around campus as part of our service to ASB as an ASB club. We have a little competition to see who picks up the most trash, or finds the weirdest trash. Once, we found a tire. It was pretty sweet.

Also, can I suggest a show for next year?

You can! Marshall has now put up a suggestions envelope outside his office and you can put show titles in the envelope if you'd like him to consider it for next year's show.

Anything else?

Be there at the May 2nd meeting to find out how you can vote for the end-of-the-year "Academies" our annual theatre awards, to be presented at the end-of-the-year party, the Senior Shove-off!

Remember our Goodwill fundraiser this Saturday, April 16th from 10am to 2pm!

See you at the fundraiser, and then our May 2nd meeting!

Well Contented!

We did it! Congratulations on a show well done, everyone!

Again, a huge thank you to all of you for your dedication and team work!

Capturing the Memories

If you wish to purchase Photo books/DVDS/Photo CD's, the information and order forms will be available here soon.

Editor's Note pertaining to the DOG TAGS: 

As you know, we purchased dog tags for the boy's gift, and we hope you're enjoying them. Some ladies also received dog tags because they contributed to the boy's gift by designing cards and paying for the dog tag shipment. Some also received dog tags because they asked before we ran out. We're sorry if things have been confusing, but there are no more dog tags. You are welcome to buy your own, or if you took one, it would be much appreciated if you could please pay Alexa back. The gifts are a tradition and privilege, and Alexa paid out of her own pocket to make it happen last minute when plans fell through, which is why many of you were not informed about what was happening. Sorry if you were not informed, but it had to happen very quickly and Alexa stepped up to make it happen so we could show our appreciation for the guys. If ladies could please pay a few dollars to Alexa, she would appreciate it very much, thank you!

Show Party

Saturday, the 19th is the Show Party at Julia's house! If you are attending, you must pay $5 to either Alexa or myself (Marguerite) before Saturday. This secures you an invite with directions how to get there, and helps the Lindstroms provide food for us at the party!

There are absolutely no plus-one's. You may not bring other Jackson students, siblings, Jackson alumni, or any other friend, even if they've been in theatre society before. Sorry. This party is to celebrate those who have worked on this show, only!

It's the first night we have an audience - let's give them a show. 

"Yaaaas!"

We made it!
A hearty congratulations, and an even bigger Thank You, everyone, for all your hard work and an awesome tech week!
We have an above and beyond show, and we are going to blow our audiences away! To do that, please take care of and be patient with yourselves. The work we have done is incredible, and we hope everyone stays well-rested, hydrated, and nourished. If ever you need anything, "we got you, fam" (or, check the pink tech box in the girl's dressing room).

Here's the plan for Monday, on a detailed time schedule.

Remember, it is your responsibility to know when you are needed, so please pay attention. 

Monday, March 7th (Pajama Day)

2:15pm : Snacktime!

2:30pm : Get to work

• Get the props out of the dressing rooms ASAP so we can work!
• Sweep the stage, set up props tables, test mics, etc. Keep doing what you've been doing.
• Full hair and makeup
• Full costumes
• Coifs!
• Props!
• Danger Props!

3:05pm : FIGHT CALL for assigned actors (even if you aren't done with hair, makeup and costumes).

3:20pm : WARM-UP for every actor (even if you aren't done with hair, makeup and costumes).

3:30pm : PLACES

We are scheduled to go until 7pm. Like always, you cannot leave until we are cleaned up and Mr. Marshall has released everyone.

Show Shirts...

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR THEM UNTIL WEDNESDAY (March 9th).

If you ordered one and haven't received it, you either weren't here or haven't paid. 

You have been fined if you didn't pay for your shirt. 

Pay to the ASB Office, then show your receipt to Mr. Marshall and you will receive your shirt.

Safety

Quiet in the wings, hallways and with the doors. Yes, we hear you on stage and from the audience.

Only handle props that you have been assigned to at the time you need them.

Only handle props if you have been assigned to one.

Those who handle special props and devices know who they are and will be the only ones to handle those props. 

If you have a costume and need a snack, wear a robe, sweatshirt, jacket or your street clothes. Report any costume malfunctions immediately.

Pay attention to where we are in the show. If you miss an entrance/scene change, that's your last warning and we will have a monitored seat for you back stage. 

I apologize in advance for the passive aggression, but, come on now, you know what to do.

Be kind to your coifs and props, we need them to last!!!

Label your waterbottles and keep them in a safe spot like the drama room or hallway to minimize risk of spills.

When working on shows, we stay in the drama room, living room, hallway, dressing rooms, booths, wings (backstage/black box), and stage. The music hallway bathrooms will be available to us.

Please ask questions!

If you have a food allergy/restriction, please write your name on the drama room whiteboard list so Julia and her family can provide for you at the show party.

Thank you again for being respectful of your peers, and following through so we have a healthy show!

Secret Buddy

We are doing an anonymous gift exchange. You are not required to participate. If you do, you must sign a contract saying you will get your assigned buddy a gift.

Gifts should be less than $10, and can come from the heart; a nice letter, card, or drawing can make somebody's day!

Please see Olivia to sign up and get more information!

Invites 

Thank you to the Stecklers who made some great green invites for us all to hand out to our teachers! If you haven't already, please grab a couple and share them with your teachers!

To summarize: YAAAAAAS! WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A SHOW! 

Ok team, rest up, and we'll see you Monday.

Tech! Week! Tech! Week! Tech! Week!

Alright everyone, it’s go time. Here is what you need to know.

Costumes

Costume & Makeup check is Monday, February 29.

Makeup: Ben Nye Makeup Kit ($20) at Display & Costume shop on Evergreen Way.

Costumes & Shoes should be here, and you need to start using your shoes in rehearsals.

• Do not eat in costume.
• Be gentle with coifs.

Report any stains, tears, or general problems with costumes to costume crew as soon as possible!

Props

Never touch a prop that isn’t yours.

Especially do not touch any swords, weaponry or the head.

Never.

Don’t do it.

Just, NO.

You might get a show suspension and not be able to work with us for at least one show if you are messing with things that aren’t yours.

If there are any problems with props, like them not being on the right side of the stage, please report to props crew!

We need your help, Parents!

Hopefully all of your parents received an e-mail from the boosters!

If we would like to continue having dinners before shows and snacks for those long tech nights, we need help. If you could contribute snacks, or food, or money to help that would be amazing!

If your parents could possibly contribute some time to help fellow booster parents with selling concessions or providing dinner for us, please sign up at the SignUp Genius here.

Thank you!!!!

Tech Week Procedures

We will be here until 6 or 7pm on these days listed on the dates over that way -->
Plan accordingly:

• Bring snacks.
• Please make the most of your time to stay on task.
• Doing homework when you don’t have a job can be a good strategy to balance things out.
• We are having a spirit week! Dress up in comfortable, safe clothes you can still work in.
• You are not released until Mr. Marshall releases EVERYONE. Tell your rides!

We have a great show, and we are so pumped that it’s coming together!

Thanes, countrymen, kinsmen, be kind to one another. Cast & Crew is one team.

We all have put so much into this show, that now is the time our patience and faith with one another is really going to make it.

Most importantly, we can't afford to be missing people now. Every single one of you made a commitment to be here and is imperative to the show running smoothly and going on at all.
If there's a time you have to be somewhere, like call-time, fight call time or warm up time, you gotta be there.

So thank you for your work everyone. Home stretch, here we go, hands in.

EASTER EGG: there are inspirational songs hidden in this post. Have fun! :)

Tech Saturday!

Tech Crews: 
This Saturday, February 27, from noon to 6pm, is Tech Work Day!

You are called if you are a part of the following crews:
- Publicity Crew
- Sound Crew
- Saint Crew
- Props Crew
- Lights Crew

See you from noon to 6pm on Saturday, Tech Crews!


Actors: You should have your Ben Nye makeup kits, costumes and shoes all taken care of and shown to us by Monday, February 29.

--> If you are headed to the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, have fun, and review your lines, please!
Thank you, everybody, for how hard you've worked to get things memorized.

ALSO:  Tech is coming!
We are having Tech Week Spirit days, listed on the Macbeth tab.

--> If you have the Choir Concert on March 4, find out what time you're leaving the tech rehearsal and let Alexa and Marguerite know this week or next week.

--> Ashland Payment on Tuesday, March 1st!

--> As a reminder, if you will be at the Frank Demeiro Jazz Festival on March 11 (which is one of our show nights), you are still expected to be at the 4:30pm call time, which means you may have to leave the festival early. In that case, you need:
- Appropriate Paperwork
- Ride back to the school
- Time you have to leave


Thanks, everyone! Tech (and this show) are going to be spooky and frightening....ly AWESOME.

YAY!

Thank you, everyone! We got enough bios to put together a display, so thank you so much for getting it done, it is going to turn out great!

However, we aren't at 100% yet. If you haven't already done a bio, then please still complete one!

ACTORS: Off-book rehearsals start tomorrow, Friday, February 12. 
This means you cannot have your scripts in-hand while working the scenes, and should be close to having it memorized.
You can still call "line" if you forget a line, but the more memorized you are, the more you'll be able to work with your scenes and each other. You guys are seriously blowing us all away in rehearsals, and it's going to be that much more awesome with scripts gone (well, still bring them to rehearsal, though).

See you all soon!



P.S. : Happy Valentine's Day weekend!

Feb. 8 Meeting!

Tomorrow, February 8th is our monthly theatre society meeting!

 If you are going on the Ashland trip in April, it's imperative that stay after the meeting for an Ashland mini-meeting!

After the meetings, we will begin work and rehearsal as normal. Remember to sign-in, and actors, start warm-ups.

ACTORS: Review your lines and blocking! We start off-book rehearsals this Friday, February 12th!


See you at the meeting!
