The Variety Show
The Variety Show has a Producer & Director team, and volunteers (parents, teachers, and staff) to write, produce, and perform an original show each year. Rehearsals begin in January and the shows are in March. No drama experience, or talent is required. Volunteers get to know lots of other folks (and are considered by their kids to be stars).
There are many ways to be involved even if you don’t want to be on stage:
Cast = The only requirement is that you be willing to smile on stage. Cast members have a range of singing, dancing and acting skills, and all levels of talent (or un-talent) are welcome.
Crew = We need help with lighting, sound and moving props/sets on stage.
Costumes and Sets = This creative group creates our costumes or builds/paints sets. Many hands make light work ☺
Behind the Scenes = These heroes design the program, sell the tickets and concessions, or serve as ushers.
For more information, contact producer Jon Marshall at jhmwriter [at] gmail [dot] com
Mark your calendars for March: Six Variety Show performances running Tuesday, March 13th through Saturday March 17th 2012
