Shakespeare Packet - New Cost Addendum Info

 Hey all! 

Here is a link to the FULL packet with most of the paperwork for the trip to review before signing on to the trip.  The only thing missing is the medical form to be notarized as this will be handed out after casting at the mandatory Parent Meeting on September 8th @6pm.  There IS a change from the printed one - the cost of the trip has always been $357.00, but originally we were not going to collect the $50 food money.  Legally we have found we need to do that and then will hand an envelope with that $50 for food to your student as we leave on the trip.  They WILL have to sign for the amount to ensure THEY receive the full amount.  That is the only change and it IS reflected on THIS upload of paperwork.  

Please email with further questions to the email in the packet.  Thanks and break legs in a week at auditions!  

Sidenote:  This has been a question - students not on Shakespeare Team CAN go on the trip if there are spots left on the bus/in rooms. They must also be enrolled in a theatre class, pay the fees, complete the forms, and agree to behave in a manner that represents Alta Theatre Department.  We invite those unable to do team to still come explore and celebrate the work of Shakespeare!

Stage Tech Bench Fundraiser!

We are selling some amazingly cute and well-designed benches that our 2021 technicians made at the end of the school year for their stage tech final grades. We have a light blue, cream, and stained simple park-bench, a teal shoe bench, and a stain armed-chair bench. The last picture is the arm-chair bench design in teal that has now been bought and places in my mother’s backyard. 

Lumber is pricey and we’re doing this as a fundraiser, so we would like to sell for $150 each or best offer. These benches are ready to go, fully sanded and painted, as of now and finished with an outdoor protective coating! Support Alta Theatre by purchasing one today- just me an email telling me which one you would love to have and we can set up a pick up time! 🎭❤️ ( linze.struiksma@canyonsdistrict.org )

Shakespeare 2021 Details!

Hey all! 

I have a note from this year’s Shakespeare coach, and we wanna help you get ready for your first audition! We are only about two weeks out from the start of school and a little over three weeks till audition, so here we go with a little note from Noah: 

“It’s Shakespeare time! I am excited for the opportunity to work with the y'all :) My name is Noah and this will be my third year coaching with Alta.

Why get involved with Shakespeare?? So many reasons!! I may be a bit bias, but I believe that being a part of the Shakespeare Team will help you grow as an actor more than virtually anything else you can do.  Plus, you get to be part of an incredible team and go on one of the greatest trips of all year! No matter what grade you are, I would encourage each and everyone of you to seriously consider being involved. ALL ages and students are welcome- even if you have yet to take a theatre class.  It was definitely a highlight of my Highschool experience (yes, I am an Alta Alumni. Go Hawks!) It has been even more incredible to be on the coaching side and to work with talented student like you! So, come audition! 

This year, we have a very unique script picked for our ensemble scene. As rebellion breaks out across the whole of England, a young character named Holland tries to seeks honor to expunge the dishonor they currently feel for not fighting with Henry the 5th years ago. Along the way, they go through a transformative journey as they join with the rebellious rabble lead by one of the most chaotic characters in all of Shakespeare's works -- Jack Cade. As Jack slowly (or not so slowly) descends into a power hungry anarchy, Holland goes on a hero's journey to discover what they are truly true to. 'Follow your spirit, All things be ready if our minds be so!' 

To get started, look for a monologue that you really feel you can get behind. You can find a good list of monologues at  https://www.bard.org/competition under the Shakespeare Scene Resources section or at https://www.shakespeare-monologues.org/home. I look forward to seeing you on the 24th!”

More information about auditions will be posted on the call-board outside of the green room in the PAC the first day of school, including packets to go over with your parents. All who are on team get to perform in Night of Shakespeare on September 29th and attend/fund the trip to Cedar City for competition Sept. 30-October 2nd. Rehearsals will be most days after school at 5pm-7pm starting August 25th, with times beginning earlier closer to competition. We are excited to see what y’all prepare for us and are stoked to get the show on its feet! 🎭 
-Struiks 

Cost for the trip will be $357 total!
