SUMMER READING: RHINOCEROS

This year's fall drama will enjoy a shorter rehearsal process (about 7 weeks) and perform the week before Halloween (Auditions will be on Sept. 03.) There are lots of cool activities surrounding this production, like workshops with Shannon Robert (Scene Design) and Jayce Tromsness (Voice), and I think I'm safe in saying that RHINOCEROS will be one of the most amazing shows ever offered at CCES. The scene design alone is going to blow your heads off. All that being said, there are now scripts available at the front office of the Upper School. Those of you who are serious about getting major roles should get familiar with the script NOW, before the wave of academia hits you. and please remember that the copy you take will be used in rehearsal, so TAKE CARE OF IT! And there will be cuts to the script, to take a little of the fat out, but we won't get to those until the first read-thru. Feel free to use this blog to post comments about the script, etc.

and by the way, if you want to see one of the coolest things ever, go to this link where you can manipulate RADIOHEAD's latest video on your own, through a new data tracking device. Just wait for it to load, then move your mouse around on the screen while it plays.

End of the Year post

You can be upset, it's ok. The end of the year is upon us, but I'm sure the Summer won't be as boring as you're thinking. All of that time you'll have to lay in the sun and do absolutely nothing will pale in comparison to the daily grind of study and exhaustion that you have grown to love. Worry not, dear students, for we're only months away from hitting the books again.


Departing Seniors, farewell: Beeson, Atkinson, Hoptry, Washburn, Scovil, Kotrady, Evins, Moseley, Schumaker, Cull, Willis, Dailey, Porter, McLane and McEniry.
wow. That's a ton of people.

Best of luck to all of you in college. I fully expect each of you to do as your predecessors have done and visit CCES a few times in your Freshman year, maybe once or twice in your Sophomore year, then never again. Please try and stay involved in the theater of higher education; all of you have the chops to do so and get good parts.

Next year's FALL DRAMA will most likely be the week before Halloween, and will most likely be RHINOCEROS, by Eugene Ionseco, so try and make it back to check it out.

keep looking here over the Summer for updates.

Time to get Tartuffified!

Thank you to everyone involved in our most successful Spring production yet! We sold out 3 of 4 performances, with a total of nearly 200 in attendance; not bad for the drama room. Several of you came out and did your best work to date - you should all be very proud.
...and a big fat farewell to Beeson, Hoptry, Washburn, Cull, Freeman, and Atkinson! You'll still be charged admission whenever you come back, however.

More pics will be on the CCES site soon.

The Visit DVD will be here by Graduation... and I mean the actual day of graduation.

THE NEXT 2 WEEKS OF YOUR LIFE

Here's the poster, which will go up all over school early this week. There is nothing more important right now than GETTING OFF BOOK! We'll be starting with costumes and props on Wednesday, so please be prepared. Tuesday will be a special rehearsal, with guest artist Tara Brodin (pictured below), who will lead a workshop that will be a shot in the arm for all involved - including some drama students from MANN who Coach White is bringing along.

Ms. Brodin will be here all week; working with us, the Middle School, our Faculty, and all around town. So when you see her, make her feel at home.
