If you haven't seen our programs for our musicals, you should check out the older copies in my classroom. We use the same company that does the official Broadway programs so they look pretty legit.
One of my goals on this show is to get the program together within the next two weeks. That way we can save on shipping costs as the programs leisurely are shipped from New York to Marysville, Wa. They charge an awful lot if we try to do them the month of the show.
One of the things we like to do in the programs (aside from head shots) are program biographies. If you have never seen a program biography, you can check out the ones that I'll be leaving on the piano. Basically it's a paragraph that tells the audience who you are, shows you've been in, people you'd like to thank and then a quote from anyone (as long as it's school appropriate.) Biographies are written in the third person meaning it's to be read as if someone was talking about you (not you personally talking.)
I need this done by March 14th. Those who have been in shows can post old ones as examples if you'd like. I'm posting one from Emmaline from last year as an example.
Here's the format that I want you to follow:
Name - Character Played - School (If from MG state if ISC, etc) and your grade
Your paragraph goes underneath this. Put show names in quotations. Try to keep them somewhat brief. If they are too long, I'll ask you to edit them.
"Your quote goes at the bottom" - Anonymous
If everyone follows the same format the chances of me making you redo it are slim.
If you have questions, just ask! I need all of these in 2 weeks! Also if you have info that we need to add in the program like crew, choreographer, helpers, etc, that would be awesome. We won't be actually forming a crew until the week of March 14th, so if you know someone interested have them keep an eye out for announcements soon.
Here's an example from last year's program:
Emmaline Savidge, Janet Van De Graaff, MGHS-Biomed, Grade 12
This is Emmaline’s sixth and final show at MPHS. She is currently the MG drama president. Emmaline was recently a featured vocalist in Beauty and the Beast at Village Theatre KIDSTAGE and was previously seen at MPHS in their production of Shrek the Musical as Pinocchio. For Shrek she received two 5th Ave award nominations one for acting and another for wig design. Thanks to M,D,N,E,S, and KIDSTAGE for all of their support.

That's it. You have 2 weeks to do this and I'll expect them all by the end of rehearsal on March 14th.
Post all Program Bios here. I'll copy and paste them into the program so any errors...will be yours
