Five Tickets This Week!

Okay Millie Cast & Crew...here's a check in to see just how THOROUGHLY you're hitting the ticket sales this week.  

You all agreed to sell 5 tickets this week.  Many thanks to the following for already meeting that goal:

Ryan Barr

Katelynn Gookin

Brandon Henefin

Sierra Long (she's already at 21 tickets!!!  GO SIERRA!)

Tirza Meuljic

Savannah Wetzler

That gives the rest of you 3 more days to make your goal!  You can do it!!  Have you already handed out all the bookmarks you grabbed?  Did you give them to every classmate (even if you think they might not want to come, you can still give them a handy bookmark)?  How about your school library?  Will the front desk or counseling office put a stack of them out for students to use? Have your parents bought their tickets yet?? 

LET'S BEAT THE DRUM CAUSE WE'RE SO THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE NOW!  

Make Up Testing

A Hair and Make Up parent will be at classes on Tuesday in Vancouver East and Thursday in Vancouver to test Millie cast members for correct foundation color.

Testing is for new AND returning kids.  It is important to have a good color match.  Testing is for those purchasing a whole kit or just a foundation refill.

Pizza Days!

We will be selling pizza for $1.50 a slice on the following rehearsal dates:

October 25th
November 1st

Thoroughly Modern Millie Rehearsal Schedule

The Voice of Journey

If you are a current student in Journey Theater Arts Group classes, we'd love for you to audition to be the Voice of Journey!    To audition, call our office between 3 pm and 9 am during the week, or anytime over the weekend (when our office is closed) and after the voicemail tone, introduce yourself and then read through the script below.    The chosen voice(s) will come to our office in Vancouver for a recording session and the recording will be used as the Curtian Warmer at our Fall shows. Submissions will be accepted until 9 am on Wednesday, October 16th. 

    Script:   Welcome to Journey Theater Arts Group and our production of The Phantom Tollbooth Jr.

     What you're going to see is a show performed by students ages 8-18, like me!  We take classes through Journey to build our skills in singing, dancing, and acting.   There's a wide variety of great classes to choose from and there's something for everyone!  If you're between the ages of 6-18, or if you know someone in that age range, be sure to get signed up for classes!  Registration for Winter will begin soon and you don't want to miss out! 

     Explore our website, journeytheater.org for all the info about classes and the fabulous shows we have happening right now!  You don't want to miss Fiddler On the Roof Jr. in Portland, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in Beaverton, or Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr. in East Vancouver. 

     At intermission, be sure to visit all the great tables in the lobby.  We've got souvenirs, refreshments and a silent auction.  All the proceeds help support the work of Journey theater and even provide scholarships and financial aid so more kids can be involved. 

    We couldn't do these shows without the great support of our show sponsors: Pioneer Pest Management and Dentistry on Officers Row.  We want to thank them not just for supporting live theater, but theater that changes lives.  Let's give them a round of applause

     Now remember, there's no eating or drinking in the auditorium, and no video or photography of any kind.  If you have restless little ones with you, an usher can help you exit during blackouts and applause. 

    I think it's about time to get on with our adventure.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy The Phantom Tollbooth Jr..

(Tip:  If you want to remove the old decal at home, heating with a hair dryer makes scrapping much easier)
