Drama Fest and Spring Play Cast
Tuck Everlasting Casts
Thank you all for your great work at the open casting calls this week! Ms. Dooley and I appreciated seeing your wonderful talent and the time you took to share it with us. We are planning to perform this play in two ways, so we have two casts: the Festival Cast will perform at the drama festival in May and the School Cast will perform at PHA soon after the festival. We are also doing some neat movement and vocal work with the Voices, but you will hear more about that during rehearsals. We are excited to give everyone the chance to work on different parts and hope that each student will enjoy working on the play!
It is important that each cast member is able to commit to being at rehearsals, so we ask that you take February Vacation to have a great time, but also to really make sure you will be able to do your best with rehearsals and the performances. IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE PLAY YOU MUST RETURN YOUR PERMISSION SLIP, SIGNED BY A PARENT TO MS. DOOLEY OR MS. LACOUNT BY TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 (RIGHT AFTER VACATION). We need to get started as soon as possible, and we need to know who we are going to be working with.
Congratulations to you all and have a fun and safe February vacation! If you have any questions, please ask Ms. Dooley or Ms. LaCount.

Drama Club is on!
Drama Club meets on WED and FRI from 3:05PM - 4:15PM We are excited and so lucky to have Branigan LaCount, an Emerson College senior in Theater Education join us for Drama Club as well as performing arts classes. Ms. LaCount, a graduate of PHA, has been teaching theater since her senior year in high school when she taught some 2nd graders at the LowerSchool, who are now students in the 6th grade. She will be with us until JUNE. She is a fine actor and singer and brings many gifts to our work.
Drama Club members are reading plays as we look for a piece to bring to the Middle School Drama Fest in MAY. We must commit to a play by FEB 15.
FRI drama club will be for 7th and 8th graders ( 5th and 6th graders may attend club on FRI if okayed by director) We also play theater and improv games. Students may need to come to both rehearsals closer to performance date. Looking for an organized person to be the Stage Manager
UNIT 3 Playwrights + Theater Arts: Some Essential Questions
How do costume, set and props help tell a story? How is "character" created through dialogue? How can a complicated story be told in dialogue? What are stage directions?

Performance by 6th grades from NOV 2008
Grandmother Spider;two versions of a Cherokee myth
and
Grandmother Spider part 2 more versions of a Cherokee myth
Click on these links above and then at new page, you will click on small grey circle icon that says POD (see below for example but you must click above to get to sound) to hear recordings made by groups of 8 to 9 students who told these stories with out scripts or ever seeing a text. They learned through the oral tradition and retold these in OCT and NOV of 2008. Sadly, some files were corrupted -I do not how or why - but we lost some. Sorry to 6C and some groups in 6A and B. Still we all will get an idea of everyone's work when you listen to the versions here. Thanks to Mr. McMahon who helped manage the COW and the recording. And to the fabulous performers of 6th grade!
