If there are a few adults out there who can join us to help construct the sets we would really appreciate it. Most set work is directly after school from 2:30-5:30, although occasional evenings and weekend days will be added if necessary.
We have five set units: Kansas, the Forest, Munchkinland, Emerald City, and Witch Castle. Each is headed and manned (personed?) by students. It would be beneficial if some additional adult assistance and supervision joined the groups.
If you can operate a drill, saw, utility knife, or paintbrush we can use your help. Contact Mr. McKeeby c/o the blog or at APHS if you would like to join in.

New Lights have arrived!
Just a quick thank-you to the fine folks of the Averill Park Education Foundation! Their grant to the HS theatre program allowed us to purchase some much needed new lighting, which arrived today. Our system had minor electrical updates in the late 80's and was never stocked with its full complement of electrics. Our shows have been adequately lit, but now we can really make Oz gleam!
Thank you APEF! Please visit their site and consider joining: http://www.averillparkef.org/

Monkeys are coming!
Ms. Malone, our flying monkey master, just sent this great photo of monkey heads in progress, courtesy of Ms. Wager's art class. The class is creating heads for the terrifyingly fantastic monkeys that will swoop out into the audience. They are great, and we thank everyone for their hard work!

IMPORTANT! NO REHEARSAL THIS WEDNESDAY 1/5
Because many of the cast & band are involved in the NHS rehearsal this week we cannot run the songs on Wednesday. Consequently we need to cancel the sing through. We will have our first band/cast workout next Wednesday.
