Improv Practice begins Next Week on Thursday at Lunch in room 135.  Everyone is welcome.

ADA 1O:

Your final preparations for performing "The Real Inspector Hound" were great.  I saw smooth transitions, and meaningful energy to help your audience follow this complex plot.  Not to mention several fine accents and costumes!

We are all looking forward to Monday's presentations.

ADA 2O:

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! !

Fairy Tale Parodies are complete, and some people got their chance to play Park Bench too.  My congratulations to:

the cast and crew of
Snow Blue ( not Snow White), who managed to pull together a fine performance, with just a touch of improv, of your entertaining and ambitious play.  The audience loved it.  Cameron gets special mention for his "crying" scene.  Also, Sammi played a great mean sister / friend, Kristie was consistent in her performance of the grumpy - est mean woman we've seen in a long time.  Brooke stole the show with her amazing costume, and thanks to Veronica for being the narrator.  Thanks to Madison for her technical assistance. 

the cast and crew of
"The Pied Piper of Hamlin", performed mostly with improv by Ben, Evan, Thomas and Isaac, with technical help and acting assistance from Brett, Gord, and John.  The Michael Jackson impersonation by Ben was funny, but creepy at the same time. Special thanks to Skyler for the 'smoke' special effects.

the cast and crew of
"The Three Little Pigs", a parody of Jersey Shore and other things.  Many congratulations on excellent accents from James, John and Holly.  Gord gets special mention for his ridiculous impersonation of a guy looking for a 'sangwich', and special thanks go to Madison for her technical assistance.  Veronica gets the last word for being a much needed entertaining narrator, who distracted the audience during scene changes.

the cast and crew of
"Cindersmella", a homeless version of one of our favourite fairy tales of all time.  Congratulations to Skyler, Bobbie-Lee, Ethan and their crew for creating a believeable, although somewhat sad variation on the original, which took place in the abandoned WalMart and under various bridges.  Not only were the costumes great, so was the dialogue.  With an everpresent theme of "Don't Do Drugs", the story also told a modern moral.
These people get the prize for the best title.

and finally....

the cast and crew of
"Rapunzel", with a modern twist and modern characters:  Tiger Woods!  a.k.a.  Brett; Angelina Jolie!  a.k.a. Rachel; and Rapunzel! a.k.a. Miranda.  Thanks to Madison for technical assistance.  Your play really had smooth transitions; no stumbling with lines; and on top of that, it was just plain entertaining.
