Spring Break!


RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY! Well, I was supposed to catch up on all the yard cleanup all the rest of you did three months ago from the icestorm and instead I am stuck inside banging away on my keyboard.

Well, in case you missed the memo there are no classes for Family Theatre Academy this week,but "Kindergarten" is trucking right along. We took some publicity shots last night, you can find those here.

Sign ups for Summer camps are off to a great start!

For those of you hardcore drama geeks who need to get your fix this week check out all the new stuff at dramorama.com!

Mark has finally published his new play "Advice From a Busboy" it is available for purchase in either print or download versions here! We are currently rounding up a cast for the first public reading on the way to a fully staged production this Summer, check it out and let us know what you think!

We'll keep you posted on the reading. It will be a $1 per seat fund raiser for new lighting in the theatre, so be sure to keep your eyes open, the audience gets to give their input on the impact of the play, a great way to get your family a little culture!

A Preview as promised of our new Donut Theatre Script! This is in its first stages, so be nice! Here is the first four pages of Little Red Riding Hood Donut Style

Welcome Jones High School!


Under the capable direction of Carla Carmichael the Jones High School drama club will present their Spring play A Midsummer Night's Midterm on schedule, school destroying flames not withstanding.

About a month ago I received an email from the harried MS. Carmichael regarding their lack of performance space due to a fire that destroyed their entire facility in December. When I heard about the fire it occured to me that I wished there was something we could do, so naturally I volunteered our space free of charge.

The Longhorn thespians will present their play three times this Friday at 10am, 12:30 and 7 Pm. We are happy to have them and hope to invite them back as long as they are in need of space, we wish you well guys, valla con Dios!
