Early Footloose Rehearsals
Cabaret 2009
Busy, busy weekend! We had a huge crowd for our Cabaret Saturday night and a really good time was had by all. Such amazing talent! The three bottom pictures highlight the Boys Loco (Joseph and Miles), Xin and Reut (Mathematical Pi), and our fabulous MC's, Sam and Molly. Thanks so much to all who came and contributed to our End of Year service projects. The top three pictures were taken Sunday afternoon at one of our early Footloose rehearsals. You can see Annie teaching a dance move while Susan is checking the script with two of our actors. At the top, a group of actors strike a serious pose. Even with the time change, a late Saturday night, an 80-degree day, and the Duke-UNC game, we had 30 dancers (of all ages!) working through the afternoon. (Yes, they were out in time for the game!)
STUDENT TEACH IN WEDNESDAY
Our Student Teach-In is one of our favorite days of the year. The only problem is that the staff is not around to enjoy it! We will be off campus working on curriculum for next year. Mike Hanas and Bob Druhan (by special permission) will be on hand as an adult presence. The students will be in charge. Juniors and seniors have signed up to teach classes. On Tuesday, staff members will meet with their student subs to discuss class plans. It has been our experience that this day runs smoothly, and the students really feel that they have taken responsibility for their learning.
