Due to the unusual nature of bringing two shows to state AND starting rehearsals for Songs for a New World, coordinating rehearsal schedules is a more complicated task than usual. The tentative schedules for all shows have been posted on the department calendar on line for some time, but we will be sending out a solidified schedule this week. We dont expect major changes. As mentioned many times, State is during spring break which means rehearsals, set load-in, and schedules will be as organized as possible, but exact times may change. This is how collaborative projects work. We hope everyone will remain as professional and supportive as always. 

Our annual Lip Sync challenge is this Thursday, February 15, 2018 at 6pm. It is one of our craziest and most fun nights of the year. Come see the unexpected as our performers go for broke to win your votes. Performers will report to the Black Box after school for review and the show starts at 6! Cash only at the door.

We are very close to our fundraising goals for the year. We are only $5,000 away! EVERY student in the theater department is impacted by our ability to raise funds. Blake Theater is 100% self-funded. We do not receive any funding from the county. If we don’t have money, we dont have costume supplies, tools to build sets (or anything for sets for that matter), microphones for sound, thread, screws, show rights, etc. 
There are 150 students in the Theater Department. If every family approached a business about sponsoring us and was only able to get $100, we would still raise $15,000! 
Mr. Paris is willing to meet and talk to anyone who wants more information, but he needs the introduction. We are asking everyone to take part in a program in which their child invest so much of their time. If you need help, send us an email and we’ll get on it.
