A Starting Point

The stage is now bare, but soon the floor will get painted to look like the palace of the King of Siam, and the pit cover will come off for the 21 piece orchestra. That's right, 21 student and adult musicians!

Thursday the lighting crew put some old spotlights into storage to clean up for the big musical.

The King's kids

Mrs. Tutterow has recruited a dozen Lower School actors to play the king's children. Here are four of them at their first rehearsal Thursday night.

First Dance Lesson

We had our first dance lesson on September 5th. Here are some pictures...

First Crew Call Today!

After school today we had our first crew session to clean up the stage and get ready for the busy eight weeks ahead of us. We also gave a behind-the-scenes tour to the newest members of the tech crew.
