After closing night of “Seussical the Musical”, parents, teachers, and students alike have been asking the theatre department, “What’s the winter show?!” Well, oddly enough, we don’t have one - at least not a seven or eight performance run. This Winter, Wilsonville High School theatre is preparing for a local performing arts competition in the Portland area. I know what you’re thinking: “There are competitions for theatre?!” Yup! Just like soccer and basketball tournaments, Oregon Thespians (“the Oregon Chapter of the International Thespian Society”) organizes a theatre competition every February. Divided into the Northwest, Northeast, and Southern regions, high schools all over Oregon gather in three various locations on Feb. 6 to compete at Regionals. While still a competition, the contest looks a little …show more content…
The day before Regionals, Friday Feb. 5, Wilsonville High School theatre will present the Regionals showcase “Night on Broadway””, where students will perform their acting and musical numbers for the Wilsonville public - an event that will hopefully raise money for future shows. While there is only one performance, “Night on Broadway” will included around 30 separate acts from shows such as “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”, “First Date”, “The Wedding Singer”, "Dog fight", "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change", "Next to Normal", "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" and many more. So while “Night on Broadway” might not be a play or a musical, with seven or eigt performances, elaborate costumes and sets, and a pit orchestra, the actors and directors will be working just as hard to organize a showcase that not only fundraises for the next dramatic season, but allows students to practice their numbers once more, before performing in front of judges - a crucial step in “putting yourself out there” as a

The live performances are performed by regional, national, and international professional touring companies, connecting the arts to the classroom curriculum.
Beginning, the 25TH Annual Putnam Spelling Bee play overall is a musical comedy. The play was more fast-paced, more laughing was involved and much more singing. Which led to the play in particular being quite more engaging than others. The production in this play differed from the other plays we’ve seen. The audience interaction was the best part of the production. One difference to me is the play involved four people from the audience to participate as actors in the play. Not knowing exactly what their purpose is in the play, just generously volunteering as a spelling bee contestant. Another aspect that differed

Earlier this year I was able to take part in a local production of Pippin the Musical, by the South Coast Coral and Arts Society (SCCAS). SCCAS has been performing in Victor Harbor for over 60 years and have produced many memorable productions, such as the Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Jesus Christ Superstar, and most recently My Fair Lady where I had the pleasure of playing Freddy Eynsford-Hill the main love interest. Winning many local awards and a few state awards SCCAS has proved that they are ready to step up into more complex and dynamic productions. Robert Bell, was very gracious to receive the Adelaide theatre guide award for his performance as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, was determined to bring something fresh, and exciting

On Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 7:00p.m. in the school auditorium, the Cypress Lake High School Center for the Arts’ vocal department held their annual vocal cabaret, which involved the audience, a few lights, and a good amount of inspired singers/musicians. Mr. Gary Stroh, head of the vocal department, let the students take over when it came to performing. He allowed his students to introduce acts, play their own instruments, and run the concessions outside of the performance area. The

"I’m so nervous,” I complained to my mom as we walked into the Waukesha Civic Theatre. “What if I’m not good enough. I haven’t even prepared that much!” It was a crisp September day and some leaves had already started changing color. On the way home from school my mom told me about a play that the theater puts on near us every year and thought I would be good for it. Since I had only heard about the audition that day, it gave me a few hours to pick my song and be prepared for whatever part they wanted me to read. The next song that came on the radio was the song “Edge of Glory” by Lady GaGa and because it was in my vocal range I thought it would be good for me. Little did I know that this audition would change my view of theater.
