Jack and the Beanstalk...

...rehearsals are now under way! We've blocked the entire show, and now the task at hand is to learn the choreography for the dance numbers. Most of the music in this show is derived from 1920s pop songs that have been altered lyrically to fit the fairy-tale setting. These songs just came into the public domain within the last few years, and they're all very catchy! Songs like "That's A-Plenty" and "Ain't We Got Fun" are, well, plenty of fun.

And for those who saw Holiday Follies, we want to remind you that there will be a magnificent tap-dancing cow in Jack and the Beanstalk. Tickets are on sale now, and they're selling fast.

It's been over a month since I last posted on the TCTC Blog (sorry 'bout that), and quite a bit has happened, from a Saturday full of S.T.A.R. auditions, to the birthdays of three of our employees...and while we're on the topic...

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO KRISTA, DEONDRA & PAM!

Those who auditioned for the S.T.A.R. program will find out via the mail within the next week or so that they have been accepted. While I believe the website still says that the July 5-31 dates are "tentative," as of today I've been told that they are confirmed. So: if you receive an acceptance letter, be sure to clear your calendars for those four weeks! It's a fun time full of training, performance and education, and we look forward to some big changes this year--changes which we believe will boost the musical emphasis and give our STARs a better chance to shine!
