Can you believe it's been almost a month since the closing performance? We hope your students have great memories of the show and their cast- and crew-mates.
We have news about DVDs, one last cleanup request, a call for receipts, and adjudicator comments, plus information about performance opportunities over the summer.
- DVDs: We are in the process of making keepsake DVDs for the cast and crew. We are allowed to provide one (1) DVD per student, and we have recordings of both Friday and Saturday night's performances. If you'd like a DVD, please complete this Doodle poll to indicate which performance you prefer: http://doodle.com/poll/7kk3i4darh6t5ehm
- More set striking! Mrs. Budka needs a few strong folks to help with one last trip to the basement storage area (which, if you've never been down there, is truly a wonder to behold). If you can stop by after school or in the early evening in the next couple weeks to bring items downstairs, we'd appreciate it. Please let us or Mrs. B know if you can help.
- Did you purchase snacks, costume or prop items, or anything else for the show that should be reimbursed? Please send your receipts to Mrs. Budka ASAP, so she can file an expense reimbursement request for you.
- As a member of the Massachusetts Educational Theatre Guild, JGMS was privileged to have local adjudicators watch the show and offer critiques to the cast and crew. They had great things to say about the show and the performers, with particular commendations for Bella P., Grace C., and the orphan chorus. Their comments (one from Friday night, one from Saturday) can be found here:
