Upcoming Talent Performances

Today we debriefed about our theater tour last week and learned more about stage directions.
Next week everyone needs to have their talent performance ready to rehearse in class. The performance needs to be 1-5 minutes and is something that can be prepared outside of class.  Please allow them time to work on preparing for this since their talent show performances will be in three weeks. 

Theater Tour

Today we were given a tour of three of the theaters that are in downtown Tacoma.

 

 Inside the Rialto

Field Trip tomorrow

We have our theater tour field trip tomorrow. Please bring signed field trip forms if you have not returned them already! We will leave right at 11am.

Another play to go and see.

 

 

Please let me know if you want to go so that I can get tickets ahead of time. 

Another field trip!

 

 We had a follow-up about our puppet show field trip with Alina and her friend, Nicodemus.  

 

 

We played a great game today called, "My Name is on the Director's Chair."  This was suppose to be our warm-up but it lasted the entire hour!  Each student had a chance to "direct" a small group of our young actors.  Then we added in costumes.  After all, many characters are often recognized for their costumes.  

The next week that we have school, we will be going on another field trip so please make sure to bring in your signed permission slips if you haven't given it to me already. 

Theatre Field Trips

Last Thursday we were able to ride the link to the Pantages Theatre.  We watch an awesome glow in the dark black light puppet show.   On April 9th, we will be able to return to the theater for another field trip in order to get our very own backstage tour!  More information will be in future posts but here are some photos from this trip: 

 

 Here are pictures of us on the link and in front of the theater since no photos of the puppet show were allowed.
