NO Drama Club on Wednesday, October 1

There will NOT be Northgate Elementary Drama Club on Wednesday, October 1, 2014.

This is because of conflicting Homecoming Activities.  Homecoming is this Friday! Be sure to see the parade that starts at Avalon Elementary and go to the game to cheer our Flames onto victory!  GO FLAMES!

See you next week for Willy Wonka rehearsal. If you don't have a folder yet, please have a folder and a pencil for next week's rehearsal.

Elementary Drama - September 24

Elementary Drama will meet from 6 - 8 pm on Wednesday, 9/24/14 at Avalon Elementary.

Only students who have already turned in a permission slip may participate.

Please remember to dress appropriately. (No flip-flops or sandals!)

Please bring a folder and a pencil.  Water - and only water bottles - are allowed.

Get ready for a "sweet" night with Willy Wonka Kids!

Elementary Drama Begins

The coaches are ready!  The schedule is posted! All we need is your permission slip. (Click on the link to the right to download a copy of the schedule and the permission form!)

Please return completed permission/information form to your school by 3:00 pm Tuesday, September 9th.  This will give us time to register each child and prepare name tags for our first meeting on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th at 6:00 pm. There will be a parent & student meeting at 7:45 - 8:00 pm that evening.

GKA Ticket Issues

The GKA have become so popular that, even though I turned in our ticket order on the deadline day, there were no tickets left.  They phoned me and said they would ask some of the adult presenters - who were assigned seats/tickets, but usually chose to 'hang out' back stage instead of sitting - to give us their tickets.  Through this course of action we were sent a total of 7 tickets - enough for our finale participants (Madison & Jacob) and their family/guests and our scholarship representative (Sam) and his mom.  (McKeesport sent their order in late and they have no tickets - not even for their finale participants.)

This leaves us needing 17 tickets from our original order. I have been trying since the end of last week, and have not gotten any responses. I have emailed all the other schools requesting that if they have extra/unused tickets, that we would like to purchase them. If we get tickets, I will give them to our other seniors first - Cassie K. is next on the list. If you have any "musical connections" at other schools, please contact them and let me know if you are able to get any tickets.

Here is my proposal for a possible solution: From my past experience, tickets will most likely not become available until right before the show. We could get dressed up and wait at the Benedum for possible availble tickets. The GKA has a 7:30 curtain. Those of us (I don't have a ticket either - and I am last on the list.) who do not get tickets can then proceed over to Heinz Hall and see "Peter and the Starcatcher" with an 8:00 pm curtain (PNC Broadway Tour, winner of 5 Tony Awards). Please email me to let me know that you have read this message, and if you are intersted in participating in this plan. You can use the contact button on this website.
