  • HELP ELIMINATE CHILD LABOR: Hello! My name is Mackenzie Anderson, and I am trying to fundraise for the elimination of child labor. You might be wondering, “What is child labor?” Well, Child Labor is whenever a juvenile is doing work and they are not allowed to learn or have the right things to grow and develop. I am trying to at least make a dent in this issue, so I am fundraising for about a month. My goal is to make at least $250. Help me make that goal! For more information, go to: https://animoto.com/play/fjUMGzVqNPZKxNX0wsKA0Q To donate, go to: https://www.gofundme.com/f/how-to-help-eliminate-child-labor?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
  • SUMMIT THEATER PRODUCTION: Paradise Junction Rehearsal today!

Today we rehearse Act 1 scenes 1, 5, 6 and 9. Townspeople with no speaking lines will rehearse today and going forward on the days they are in the scenes. Townspeople are in scenes 1, 6, 7, 9 in Act 1 and scenes 1 and 6 in Act 2. Please be at rehearsal when we are rehearsing your scene. Bring something to work on when you are not on stage, and remember to stay in the cafeteria and be quiet so the actors on stage can hear their lines and instructions.

We will start crew next week. Mr. Billings will be in touch about  publicity and I will post a calendar for the other crews. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jU-VWcyk0xzfMPqjQDWC6WAHgJB049SRsYMGLo3UftY/edit?usp=drivesdk
