ANNOUNCING A NEW THEATRE GROUP - THE MACKENZIE PROJECT -Theatre has always been a place of inclusion: a safe place that welcomes anyone who wants to perform, play, build, design, direct and hang out and make friends. What we are doing with the Mackenzie Project is inviting students in grades 3 -12, with special needs and without, who are interested in working together to put on a show at the end of the year. The performance will feature students with special needs in the starring roles and be the leaders of crews, while being supported by student peer mentors. Click here for more details.

Content Approval: Held in Erickson Gym after school on Tuesday, January 14th

We will be reviewing content of all performances to ensure all material is age appropriate. Performances do not have to be perfected at this time - we just need an idea of what is being done & what the content is. We will require that students have turned in the permission slip by Friday, January 10th. All lyrics and music can be submitted in advance OR brought with your student on Tuesday, January 14th to review content. Music must be a shared file, flash drive or CD. YouTube videos are not acceptable.

If your child is interested in participating, please read the following requirements:

● Students may participate in ONE act● There may only be 1-5 participants per act● All costumes and music must be age appropriate & approved ● The act needs to be 1-2 minutes long (subject to change based on number of participants)

Dress Rehearsal: Held in Erickson Gym after school on Tuesday, February 18th

Rehearsals and practice will be on the students own time. We will only have only one dress rehearsal with all participants on Tuesday, February 18th after school (a parent will need to come into the gym and sign out their child after dress rehearsal). If your child is a part of the show, please make sure they are practicing their act and will be ready for the final performance.

If you have any additional questions please contact Kim Grumeretz at [email protected] or Miss Ott at [email protected].
