Summer Theatre Camp at Vincentian, August 6-10

4/24/2018

 
Dear Drama Club members and parents,
As summer approaches, you might be looking for classes, camps, or other opportunities to focus on musical theater skills improvement.

Lauren Sarazen, who's part of the North Hills directing team and an acting teacher at North Hills, is repeating her popular five-day camp at Vincentian Academy this summer. This year's camp will be held August 6-10.

In previous years, many students from North Hills have attended and enjoyed the camp. Students will work on dance, voice, acting, and auditions.

A flyer is attached with more information. You can also email Lauren Sarazen at ltsarazen@gmail.com with any questions.

The camp is open to incoming freshmen through 2018 graduates from any school. Please feel free to pass this flyer on to anyone who might be interested!

Please note that there is an "early bird" discount for those registering by June 1.

Drama Club Gala--some important information!

4/23/2018

 
Dear students and parents,
The 2018 North Hills Drama Club Gala is approaching quickly! The show starts at 7:00 pm Friday in the high school auditorium. Participating students should bring all costumes, props, etc. with them to school Friday and then plan to stay through until showtime. Dinner will be provided by the Drama Club.

A few notes for those participating:
  • White T shirts are due to Ms Sarazen by Tuesday, April 24. For the finale, all students will wear white T shirts that are being decorated by Ms. Sarazen. She needs these by tomorrow, April 24; please drop them off in the prop room with your name attached to them in some way. In addition, girls will wear black leggings and boys will wear jeans. Students have already been given this information, but we thought we'd send a reminder to all. Students who don't turn in a T shirt cannot be included in the choreography for the finale.
  • Cookie donations. Just as we do for the shows, we will have a cookie table in the lobby for fundraising purposes at intermission. Thanks to the Karpinski family for organizing this (and the cookie tables all year long)! Each family of a participating student is asked to donate a dozen cookies that evening. Please drop them off in the lobby.
This final note is for ALL Drama Club members:
  • New this year, we are recognizing all NEW members of the International Thespian Society (ITS) right before intermission at the Gala. Whether or not these students are participating in the Gala, they are invited to come up on stage and receive their certificates. Any new ITS members who are not planning to attend the Gala should notify Ms. Sarazen or Mr. Cloonan of their absence.


As always, email nhdramaparents@gmail.com with any questions.

We're looking forward to an entertaining showcase of our students' impressive talents in singing, acting, and dancing. Hope to see you on Friday!

Gene Kelly Awards--ticket order commitments needed by May 3

4/12/2018

 
Dear "Dames at Sea" cast, crew, orchestra members, and parents,
As you may already know, North Hills is participating in the 2018 Gene Kelly Awards, which honor excellence in local high school musical theater. Tickets to the ceremony--held at the Benedum on Saturday, May 26--are only available by ordering through a participating school.

We believe the Kelly nominations will be announced around May 9. The North Hills ticket order will be due just a day later!

This means we need to get a group order organized now, even though payment for your tickets is not due until May 14.

Please look over the attached form and think about the different scenarios for the nominations, and whether you might want to attend under each of these scenarios. Again, tickets are not sold to the general public, so think about any family and friends who also may want to attend.

Complete this form and return it to nhdramaparents@gmail.com by Thursday, May 3. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Regardless of nominations, we can all agree the kids did a fantastic job on the show!
