A new year and new big dreams!

Another school year is upon us which means new plans and dreams for what else is possible on the horizon with our APR Thespians.

Here's what the new year has in store:

  • Another MS-HS production (grades 5-12)! We had so much fun last fall, that we have decided to do it again. This year, a night of dinner theatre mysteries: A Night with Sherlock Holmes. Look for more info as we get closer (opening Nov. 21, 2013)
  • Some more jumping fun at Sky Zone (to add to our growing list of creative fundraisers)!
  • Our usual fall line up of the Haunted House and Halloween Carnival (Oct. 25) and delicious cookie dough.
  • Winter and spring one-acts (Festival and ZIPS!) Titles and dates TBD once my creative Thespians decide what they would most like to do.
  • And, are you ready with the drumroll? Our BIGGEST new initiative for this school year... a trip to... Hollywood, California! Yes, it's true, we decided that our trips to New York are amazing, so let's look to the next big place to explore in the performing arts: Hollywood! The students and I have dreamed up quite an adventure and it will truly be a memorable experience for us all in spring 2014. You'll hear a lot more about this as we plunge into our fundraising season this fall. (Look for info on donorschoose.org this fall and plans for a Thespian Gala Benefit this winter!)

For now, we're geared up for an exciting launch to the 2013-14 school year and our exciting plans for our dedicated Thespians! Stay tuned....
