I am on the Board of Directors of Theatre of Gadsden and currently working on the production of South Pacific. The theatre recently used Key Club members from Glencoe High School to usher at a production, and we would like to expand that program. I would like to particularly target arts students who might be interested in ushering for us. We normally have 6 performances over two weekends, but they would not need to help with all of them.
If you think some of your students might be interested, please let me know, and ask them to come to our first training meeting on March 25 at 2:00 at The Ritz in Alabama City (310 27th St.). As a side note, we will have a full orchestra for South Pacific conducted by Dr. Jeremy Benson from JSU. Your students might enjoy hearing their performance. The dates are March 31, April 1, 2, and April 7-9. Go to theatreofgadsden.org for more information. Thank you, Paula Paula J. Ross, PhD. ESL/International Education Consultant
