THEATER WORKSHOP—A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

The 2009-2010 production of Nottingham – A Totally Teen Musical marks the twenty-fifth year of GJHS Theater Workshop. Approximately 40 students have already begun rehearsals of the February, 2010 show. Stage Managers are working with directors, choreographers, student actors, and technicians. Those members cast in the musical are currently learning their songs, stage movements, and basic dance moves. Students involved in the backstage of sets and props, costumes, and makeup, lights, and sound, and publicity will begin their assignments in January. NOTTINGHAM is a totally teen rock-n-roll musical that puts a retro spin on the Robin Hood legend. It’s 1961 at Nottingham High School and the Sherwood Burger Palace. John Prince, the rich Norman class president and B.M.O.C (Big Man on Campus), steals from the poor and lowly Saxons. Alas, enter Robin Loxley, a cool cat who returns to Nottingham for her senior year. She (yes, SHE!) vows to fight for justice to save the Saxons from the dreaded Normans. With assistance from a not-so-awful Norman guy, (yes, GUY!), Marion Shire, they discover there is no such thing as “us” and “them.” Can Robin steal back from the rich, give to the poor, win a hula hoop contest, and unify the cliques? Find out on Friday and Saturday, February 19 and 20, 2010 at 7:00 P.M. in St. Clair Memorial Hall. Tickets are now available and are $3.00 for students and senior citizens and $4.00 for adults. All tickets will be $5.00 at the door. For tickets or other information email the director, Tory Martin, at tmartin@greenville.k12.oh.us.
