The Big Announcement, 2017

The next high school play will be.....

    drum roll, please.....

The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon!

Never heard of it?  Neither had I.  But it's one of the top ten most popular plays being done by high schools all over the country.  And the first time I read it I was laughing so hard I almost couldn't breathe.

The Spectaculathon is a mixed-up re-telling of the Brothers Grimm tales, from Snow White to Little Red, with lots of unknown stories thrown in as well.  All the original gory endings are kept in, and the whole thing is one big ball of silliness.  The cast can be anywhere from 5 to 43 people, with parts from tiny two-line walk-ons to really big challenges that will require really talented actors.  

Anyone else excited??

Auditions will be the first week of October (that's only a few weeks away!!!!), and the performances will be the first weekend of December.

Lots more information will be available soon.  But if you want, you can read the script (and laugh your socks off) right now at https://www.playscripts.com/play/1162.  (You'll have to share an email address to be able to read it.)  

There are video clips of the show online, but I haven't seen any that really do the play justice.  You're a lot better off just reading it.

Hey, we want lots of people to know about this thing - so spread the word!  It's a great play for people who have never been on a stage before but sort of want to give it a try.  You guys are good at social media - get the word out!
