Apple Fest!

Each year, Drama Club runs at booth at the Apple Fest to sell tickets for our fall show. We are in need of volunteers to sell these tickets at the booth. Please sign up on the Drama Club wall for a time slot! Also, if you can play the guitar and would like to accompany some Drama Clubbies in a sing-along, we could definitely use you at the booth. You can also sign up for this at the wall.

Drama Club Field Trip!

We are fortunate enough to have been invited to the final dress rehearsal of "Hair" playing at the Shubert Theater in New Haven. It is Thursday, October 21st at 7:00pm. Please sign up on the Drama Club wall if you are interested in going. Depending on the number of kids that sign up, we will potentially be able to get a bus to New Haven.

Hi everyone!

Most of you heard this at rehearsal on Friday, but I wanted to let you all know that we will be having a quick YCTIWY cast and crew meeting tomorrow after school. Please meet in the auditorium, it should be a very quick meeting. Regular rehearsal will start right after.

Please let one of your stage managers know if you can't come!

Rehearsal Schedule

Hey everyone! The rehearsal schedule is now available on the website - just click the Rehearsal Schedule link at the top of the page. Tell your parents/guardians about it so they're kept informed too. (It eliminates the need for the whole "Yes, I do have rehearsal again..." discussion - we've all been there before...) ^.^

GHS along with AI Prince Tech students are auditioned to cast and crew an orginial one-act play that they will create, 10 students will be accepted, 2 of them, we hope will be returning from last session to serve as Peer Mentors.

Transportation for GHS students will be provided because rehearsals will take place at AI Prince Tech in Hartford. The firsts 3 weeks, they will rehearse 3 days (M/W/F) 2:45-5:30pm and the last 2 weeks, they will tech everyday. The show will be performed at AI Prince Tech on Oct 28th at 7pm.
