4/16/09
Beauty and the Beast is completely sold out for Thursday and Friday night!
But two FRONT ROW tickets, plus parking will be auctioned off on Saturday!

For the third year in a row, the annual spring performance is sold out!
This year was the fastest ever sell out, with tickets completely sold in 48
hours!  However, courtesy of Ms. Springs-Wirth we have two reserved front
row tickets (with a reserved parking spot) for the Friday (5/15) night
performance!  As many of you know, seating for Beauty and the Beast is first
come first served.  So having front row seats reserved means you can stroll
in 5 minutes before the show and be guaranteed great seating.  These two
tickets, plus parking pass will only be available at Harbour¹s Hugs for
Heroes this Saturday.  However, if you are unable to attend, we are happy to
take absentee bids.  Absentee bidding allows an auction volunteer to
represent your bid at the auction and the tickets will go to the highest
bidder.  If you would like leave an absentee bid, please email Martha
Schneider (mschneider@harbourschool.org) with the maximum amount you would
like to bid.  Minimum opening bid is $20.00.  All absentee bids must be
received no later then 10:00 A.M. April 18th, 2009.  Don¹t miss this
opportunity to have premium seating, a reserved parking space and the
opportunity to see why all of the critics believe that the Harbourdrome
players are the most talented actors around!

Auditions for Cookie Night went very well.  It is amazing to see the 
progress the students have made.  
Many of them who just a year ago were so nervous and quiet walked into this 
audition with 
confidence.  
They projected their voices and used great expression.  We even had some 
students auditioning for 
the 
first time who showed a lot of talent.  I was very impressed.  I look 
forward to casting each student 
in a 
role where he/she can really shine.  Casting information and scripts will be 
handed out before the 
end 
of the month.  Rehearsal schedules will follow soon after that.  Here we go 
again!  :)  Thanks for all 
the 
support you give to your students in their performing arts endeavors!

forward to seeing you there.

There have been lots of questions about costumes for Fiddler.  Here is the 
information I can give you at this time.

I am going to send home specific costume letters by mid-March.  Some pieces 
will be rented (ex: a specific hat) and some will be brought from home (ex: 
black pants, white button down or ankle-lenght skirt and blouse). I am still 
figuring out what will work in the budget.  The letter will give you all the 
details. They will need to have the costumes to show me at the rehearsal on 
Friday, April 20th.  That way, there will be time before the dress 
rehearsals to get something else if a piece doesn't work. 

2/23/07
After school Fiddler rehearsals have begun.  Reminder emails will be sent
