This is where you can find the discussion board. Please visit it frequently and share your ideas. We need your support to make this camp a reality. We want to harvest all your wonderful ideas, so we can make summer camp bread.

The proposal has been sent to the Dean, so hopefully he approves it soon.

please talk to all your non theatre friends, and mention the camp in your classes. Publicity would be a plus.

Hopefully in the next few meetings we can decide when we want to have registration for the kids.

PLEASE COME TO THE MEETINGS! we cant do anything without your help.

May 17,2010

REMINDER: PLEASE SIGN UP FOR COMMITTEES!

How we will set up the first day of the camp:

In the morning we will have the kids work on their monologues that they have prepared before hand. if they don't have one we can help provide one. By watching them practice and see how they take direction we can get an idea of what kind of actors they are.

In the afternoon will be the actual audition process. The kids will audition in front of all three directors and from there the directors will post their call back lists where the kids can choose what play they want to be in (if chosen for more than one). Unfortunately not all the kids who want to act will get the chance to be in a one act, however that is the truth of theater.

The directors will prepare a short blurb and synopsis about their play.

Even if the kids don't want to act, the morning will provide them the opportunity to practice anyways.

Sign Up!!!!

Tues. meetings are now canceled.

Business of meeting: Voting on Logo

Committees: after proposal has been approved

Basic Ideas for classes and workshops: Alternating days, 2 1/2 hour blocks. We want to provide a basic introduction but get to the point where the kids are doing things hands on for themselves. When the Kids sign up we want them to provide information on how much experience they have, and what they want to learn.

T-Shirts: a means of advertisements in the schools. Different colors for the instructors.

Post Ideas for Workshops on the Facebook Group.

Proposal submitted! (Seve)

I submitted the proposal on Friday. Brother Clifford said that he had to take it to the department and they all had to discuss it and take it through the other powers that be. I'm not sure how long that is going to take, but it's exciting to know the proposal is in.

I also sent an e-mail to Sister Hendricks asking her about a graphic designer. I'm still waiting to hear back from her, but hopefully we will see something from that.

The blurb in the University Update got us a few more people who showed up to the meeting we cancelled on Thursday, I was there, so I gave them a rundown of what we were doing and they've all got great ideas to contribute.

Things are moving right along and we are about exactly where I was hoping we'd be by this point.

Well looky here

Enjoy your new blog design!

BTW, when you want multiple people to contribute to the blog, just go to "Settings" then "Permissions" and "Add Authors." That way, you can all log in from your own emails rather than logging in as "grottotheatre" each time. You know, if that's what you want. But don't let me tell you what to do.

Love,

Jules
