UPDATE on This Year's Musical!

Howdy folks!

I wanted to update you all on the dates of this year's musical, INTO THE WOODS.

The performance weekend is now April 8 & 9, 2017. The dates changed for a variety of valid reasons, and we (Mr. Howe and I) are excited for the extra rehearsal time with the students!

Auditions will be held the week of November 14-18, with callbacks happening the following week on Monday/Tuesday before we leave for Thanksgiving break.

More details to come as the weeks continue...for now, check out the songs and scenes online, watch the latest movie, and get excited to venture INTO THE WOODS with us!

In the News: Nobel Prize in Literature goes to Bob Dylan

Singer-songwriter, poet, and musical icon Bob Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature. I didn't know it was possible for a songwriter to win this award, but I can certainly vouch for Dylan's powerful, moving lyrics having listened to his songs countless times. I discussed Dylan and his Nobel Prize with some classes today and played Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" as a reference for his music. I was struck by how much that song (posted below) STILL resonates today, even though it was first performed in 1964.

What do YOU think?
