The first weekend of High School Musical is now history. The cast is off for two days before a brush up rehearsal on Wednesday and then back for 6 shows this coming weekend. (Thursday night, Friday morning school matinee, Friday night, Saturday matinee & pep rally, Saturday night, and the closing on Sunday with the matinee. The costumes are being cleaned and most of the staff has the day off. We sold most of the pink Sharpay hats and all of the wildcat pennants in our fundraising efforts during the show. I just placed and order for more for the next weekend. A big thank you goes to Bill Fox who came in and took photos of the final dress rehearsal on Wednesday night before opening. The photos he took will be added to the theatre's archives and cast members can purchase DVDs of all the photos for $10. The proceeds from the sale of photo disks goes toward volunteer appreciation items like food for tech dinners, water for backstage, and cast party food.
One of the chorus performers for High School Musical was out sick on Sunday so April worked through some of the basketball team scenes to make sure that we had his part covered.
Saturday after the performance a small group came to the Studio Theatre and had cake and punch and celebrated the 45th Anniversary of the theatre's founding. Photo albums and newspaper scrap books were spread across several tables and those who attended had a great time looking at past shows and press clippings. Thanks to board members Heather Dorr for getting the cake and punch and for Ann Counts and Jennifer Hughes for helping serve.
Tonight is play selection at 5:30 pm to look at plays for next season. Doubt rehearses at 7 pm in the Studio theatre.
I will upload some of the photos to the website from Bill and put some photos of the Saturday Anniversary Party as well as backstage Sunday on this blog.
