South Pacific Set Under Construction Already!!
Dr. LaMar Johnson, a talented Brigham City veterinarian, has been working hard designing and building a beautiful set for OUR show!  He is volunteering his time and talents to help BEMS have an amazing set. We are so lucky to have him. If you see Dr. Johnson, tell him THANK YOU.  None of the pieces are completely finished yet, but check out what he's built so far!




The top photo is Emile De Becque's Plantation home. It will sit on Stage left. The next photo is another view of Emile's home. Check out the marble columns, beautiful wood beams and awesome floor!  The third photo shows Dr. Johnson working on Luther Billis' laundry machine. He got an ACTUAL airplane propeller that will spin when the laundry is running! The washing machine isn't built yet, but I can't wait to see the finished product. The bottom photo shows some actual ammo boxes that Dr. Johnson found online and purchased for us. He stacked them together and put them on a black base that rolls so we can move them around the stage.  He's genius!  Stay tuned to see pictures of Bloody Mary's hut, palm trees and much more. Tambi Tueller is painting our backdrop and it's going to be beautiful too.

Spread the word...SOUTH PACIFIC is going to be so darn awesome!

Flex Time Audition Helps with Mrs. Crane

Thanks to all of you awesome BEMS students that have been coming to our Thursday/Friday flex schedule audition helps. Unfortunately, due to the trimester ending and Thanksgiving, we won't be able to meet for a couple of weeks.  Sorry! Practice on your own, with your friends, or with someone who can give you good advice. We will meet again the week before auditions, Thursday Dec. 5 and Friday Dec. 6. On those days, I will run through each of the lead characters songs, reteach the audition dance, and give you some final encouragement to have a successful audition.  Plan on attending, and bring your friends that are interested in being a part of SOUTH PACIFIC.

You will be able to sign up for your audition times starting December 2. There will also be stage crew sign ups available for those interested. Then auditions will be held December 9 and 10, with callbacks the following day.

Are you excited? We hope so, because this is going to be so fun! Oh yeah!!

"Standards"

I've had a few students ask how I plan on handling the swearing, romance, and costumes for SOUTH PACIFIC.  I have given them all the same answer and thought I'd put it on this blog for all students and parents to see:  I am a very "G" rated person, and this will be a "G" rated production.  There won't be any swearing,  the romance will be appropriate for all audiences, and all persons involved will feel comfortable in their costumes.

This show has some wonderful messages, really fun music, lots of laughs and romance. We're going to have a wonderful time! I can't wait to see you at auditions!
