Great Performances Everyone!


The Bayview students did a fantastic job! They wowed the audience with their performances! We are all beaming with pride and excitement. My house is humming with songs like "Pump it Up" and "I Love Excercise." I'm sure you will hear the tunes for a few more days too.

Many people ask me about why this play was different from the other ones. The other 4 plays I took original plays and rewrote them to fit our school. This time I could not find anything on our topic of Health an Nutrition, so I wrote the whole script from scratch. It was very rewarding to see your children bring my writing to life. Thank you. It was the best way to end my 5 year run of directing plays at Bayview.

The Performances are TOMORROW!


The performances are tomorrow at 11:00 am and 6:00 pm. Doors open 15 minutes before each show.

Last minute tickets are available in the office or at the door. People with tickets will enter to sit first. Everyone should have a chance to see their children perform, so if finances are an issue, let us know.

All students need to be in their classes to get their costumes on by 5:45 pm. Some classes are meeting earlier, so double check with your teacher.

See you at the show!

Tickets are on sale!

Don’t miss your chance to order tickets to Bayview’s fabulous play, The Bare Necessities. Two performances will be held on Thursday, March 13, 2007.

* The morning show begins at 11:00 a.m.
(This show has room for all ages! There will be a space for young children to sit on the floor at the front with an adult.)

* The evening show begins at 6:00 p.m.
(Seating is limited at this show. It is always packed full. Please arrange childcare for young children.)

Feel welcome to buy tickets to both shows! The doors open 15 minutes before each show, so audience members have a chance to settle in before the show begins.

NOTE: The show is approximately 45 minutes long. The performers are trying to project their voices, yet we request audience members be respectfully quiet during performance dialogues. Children may use the carpeted area for breaks if needed. No dogs please.

Costume Fitting

   
 Our main characters tried on their costumes today.  Play this clip and check out our Bear and Wolves.  Owls and Skunk can swing by my class to try on their costumes.  The Raccoons and Raccoon Dude need to coordinate their costumes to match what Mr. Ashmoucha's Raccoons are wearing.  I'm going to confirm with Ms. Jung and Ms. Linton who the Soap and Fruit actors will be.  (They missed rehearsal today!)
See you on Wednesday!  Memorize your lines!
Love Mrs. App
