I hope you made it to the PAC on Friday or Saturday (or both!) night last weekend! If you did, you were treated to a fantastic production of "The Canterville Ghost". How fun was that?! Now we have to jump into Spring Musical mode as the auditions are NEXT WEEK! If you are want to be in this production (or your daughter or son wants to be in this production) of Anything Goes , you must sign up for an audition slot. The sign ups are in the office THIS WEEK. You will need to pick up a form, fill it out, and bring it to the PAC at the time you select for your audition. Come ready to sing! Once you are passed this stage, there will be a dance audition, as well.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
