WE LOVE SHAKESPEARE, HOW ‘BOUT YOU?
Theatre Update:
Theatre rehearsal has began for the fall show! Running through the script has already revealed some of the amazing talents and skills of the GWCS thespians. This year’s show, “I Hate Shakespeare,” is a tribute to the Bard, told through a series of short scenes, mixing actual lines of Shakespeare with modern language and humor to create a hilarious event! The show will be anchored by GWCS acting veterans including Lonny, Evan, Jay, Lauren, Alex, Luther and Dakota, and newcomers to the GWCS stage, Kason, Rachel, Sam, and Ava.
backstage opportunity:
If you are interested in helping (and earning credit) there is still time to join the backstage team (or ‘prop monkey squad’ as Goldie calls them).
