This is what I just submitted to the webmaster of the University High School Website:
"Signs of Spring Come to U-High"
The second annual "Sweet Sounds of Spring," will be held on Monday, April 23 in Stroud Auditorium. "Sweet Sounds," is the U-High English Department's all-day celebration of Shakespeare's birthday. Students are invited to read original or favorite poems or stories, perform scenes, and showcase their various talents during English classes or free hours. The event, which is free to everyone, was started last year by English teacher Mrs. Kathleen Clesson.
The finale of the day is the 3:00 performance of "Am I Blue?" a fifteen-minute dramatization of the story by Bruce Coville. The play advocates tolerance and diversity through elements of fantasy: A high school kid named Vince (played by freshman Nate Loos) meets his "fairy godfather," Melvin (played by junior David Foster). The cast also features Vince's mother (senior Cori Raney), a bully named Butch (sophomore Rob Carroll), newscasters (juniors Stephanie Krimmer and Jessica Rubenacker), a librarian (junior Julie Fisher), a sleazy politician (freshman Justin Palm), and an ensemble of roughly a dozen. The crew includes U-High Thespians Megan Hannah, Julie Grubar, and Lexi Hany.
In addition to Monday's performance at 3:00 in Stroud, the group hopes to perform at "The Coffeehouse" in downtown Normal, and at a meeting of Illinois State University's PRIDE group. For more information, contact Kellie Powell or Mrs. Clesson.
Hopefully, they'll put it up... =)
