Greely has two-show program with a Broadway musical with an ensemble cast in the Fall and a straight show in the spring. One of our traditions is the dinner theater in the spring. We have senior send-off in June and this is funded (senior costs) by the boosters. The boosters is a critical part of funding the shows and traditions of the drama program, especially the musical, which costs over $12,000. Volunteers on all levels is needed and welcomed. Occasionally there is a bigger trip planned for the students, and this year is one of those years. This year February vacation. Thursday (early am) through Friday night. The boosters has in the past subsidized the cost of the bus, but tickets to shows and hotel can be pricey. Audrey’s goal is to keep the cost around $400/participant.
If your student intends to participate, deposits will be due in October.
Bag Fundraiser: Marjorie Ferris will be organizing this again this year. Students who sell
beyond $100 worth of merchandise can use extra sale money to cover expenses for the NYC
trip. Orders will be due October 15. Please remind your kids to sell the bays.
Props: tea cart (Tara), an old-fashioned orange life jacket (Connie Russell), old camera, a
small dog, a dinner gong (Karen maybe), vodka bottle and a champagne bottle, a Yale mascot stuffed bull-dog, an empty violin case (Nancy)
Need a South Portland pick up close to the show (Emily P.)
