Getting Close to the End!

Play Critiques are due May 22 for all drama and stage crew classes! There will be no late critiques and NO EXCEPTIONS! Students have had this assignment for five months. I will not except any late work or non-completion of this assignment. That means about 40% of stage crew and drama students need to see a play and turn in a critique on it within one month.

Timberline is performing it's school musical next week and this is a great, cheep, short, fun play to see to fulfill a play critique.

Timberline Middle School Presents

Once On This Island
