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!

Lobby Display Headshots!

Hey y'all! This is your very favorite publicity manager with some very exciting news!
(Well truthfully it's not that exciting for you guys but I am pumped, let me tell ya.)

This week, everyone actively working on Hot Mikado will be pulled aside to get a quick headshot done by members of the publicity team in the schedule that follows. These photos will be used in the lobby display, put up before shows. If you cannot make yourself available on the day we have requested you to be, please let me know in person (I'm the one that's overly enthusiastic about making people take photos, if you don't know how to spot me.) This schedule will also be written in the living room.

All business aside now, have a wonderful week and I can't wait to see y'all soon!

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!
