The Good Doctor, a comedy by Neil Simon, Opening December 2!

Theatre South has been working since early September to present Neil Simon's THE GOOD DOCTOR.  Student Director, Anna Bianco has done a fabulous job with directing.
The Good Doctor is set in Russia during the 19th century and written in the style of Chekhovian comedy. It is composed of a series of scenes in which the only connecting thread is the character of the Writer originally played by Christopher Plummer, who is obviously Anton Chekhov. Simon uses several direct references to Chekhov in the play: The writer's opening monologue quotes Trigorn, the writer in The Seagull, directly and one of the scenes, "The Audition" centers around an untried actress auditioning for The Writer by playing all of Three Sisters. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Doctor_%28play%29).
The show will open to BHSS and New Tech students Thursday, December 2 as an all day matinee. At this time, English classes will be invited to view a teaser of the show. The show opens to the public Friday, December 3 at 7:30pm.

This production is a black-box style, so seating is limited.  Tickets are $5.00 for students and $10.00 for adults. You can buy tickets at the door 45 minutes before curtain.

Hope to see you there!

Theatre South Picnic!

A great time was had by all at the first EVER Theatre South Picnic! 40 students turned out with food and fantastic costumes (NOT) to enjoy the company of their fellow Thespians!

 It was a blast!  Thanks to all who came out.  We will do it again--soon!

Grapes of Wrath and Returning meeting

Hello Fellow Thespians!
Well, we survived the first week of school virtually unscathed.
I can say from my own experience that I am tired!  These early mornings are killing me!

Anyway, we are gearing up for the field trip to GRAPES OF WRATH. If you want to know more about the production, scroll down to the bottom of this web page and check on the Cardinal Stage link. There you will find the backstory on Grapes.

RETURNING THESPIANS: There will be a brief meeting TUESDAY afterschool in A101. We will discuss the fall picnic for incoming theatre southers and what we want to do.

Also, Anna Bianco and I will be working on the fall production. More to come on Tuesday.

Hope all is well in your worlds!
See you Tuesday--and may the Bard me with you!

Welcome Back!

Dear Students and Theatre Southers,
Welcome back to another year at BHSS!  I hope you all were able to stay awake and charged for your first day back.

I had a few announcements to share.  The first, THERE WILL BE A MEETING FOR ALL RETURNING THESPIANS Tuesday, August 24 at 2:45 in A101.
This is just for returning members, as we are planning to organize a picnic and talk about the year.
Please let me know if you can make it.

Second, there is an exciting opportunity coming our way to participate in a Divesity Theatre performance.  The show would be February 26 and March 5.  I should have more information about that by the meeting.

Please be sure to stop by the theatre room and say hi!

It's going to be a great year!
