American Fork High School's Theater Arts Calendar
Future Drama Students/Drama Enthusiasts, August 2018
Let me be the first to welcome you to the Drama Department at American Fork High!
The upcoming year of 2018-2019 looks like it will be a surefire hit. It’s already up and running to be the best year yet. The shows have been selected, the drama council has been preparing for your arrival, and you are receiving this letter to make you aware of future dates and expenses that will be asked of you if you choose to be part of this year’s season.
Below, you will see listed the official drama calendar which can also be accessed from the school website (www.afhsdrama.org), as well as our page on Facebook. Everything has been set in place for this year to be one in which you personally can cultivate growth and achieve a tremendous amount of success. To help us accomplish these goals, the drama council has selected a theme based on this year’s productions.
The quote is simple, and yet astute,”Seize The Day”. It embraces the many facets of what this year is about. We are hoping to create a sense of community and also celebrate our unique differences through finding unity amongst our own individual worth. It falls right in line with Newsies, Noises Off, and both showcases and student directed One-Acts. We hope you will sense this goal and embrace it throughout this coming year!
Sign ups for Shakespeare Team AND Newsies Auditions will be posted on the Room #24 door. Please come prepared with a 30 second -1 minute monologue from any Shakespearean play for the Shakespeare Team and 16 bars of a musical theater song for Musical Theater Auditions. AUDITIONS FOR SHAKESPEARE WILL BE AUGUST 27 AND 28TH! YOUR PREPARATION IS APPRECIATED! NEWSIES AUDITIONS are still to be announced, but will be shortly thereafter. We are excited to see you at both of those!
We will also be having a PARENT MEETING once those auditions are over. (TBA)
Again, let me be the first to personally welcome you into our theater arts program. I look forward to meeting each of you and hope that this letter helps you assess this upcoming year a bit better. See you soon!
Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Neal Johnson
