HST Schedule Changes

Dear 25th Year HST Families,
To comply with the President’s request that there be no gatherings larger than 10 people for two weeks, HST will not hold any classes or workshops for the next two weeks. *Adults are still welcome to come to sewing/building sessions at my home on Friday/Saturdays but it is optional *(even if you signed up on SignUp Genius). There will be NO costume prep on Friday – just sewing.
I’ll asses on March 30th if we will hold outdoor rehearsals for GB/SH and JR/SR on April 3rd.
There were no viable options in the theater’s schedule to move GB/SH and JR/SR. *I will be talking to theater management on Thursday to request that we be allowed to put up our shows in the theater and then videotape and/or livestream them.* We are looking into options for having a viewing of the videos (when we can have an audience). Please be praying that the theater will support this plan.
We were able to move HST’s Showcase to the week of May 18:
– Monday May 18 – Noon to 5pm (Choirs, Acting, Tech) – Tuesday May 19 – Noon to 5pm (all performers & Tech) – Dance Teachers set lights – Wednesday May 20 – Noon to 5pm (all performers & Tech) – Friday May 22 – 7pm performance – Saturday May 23 – 2:30pm & 7pm performances
To support this delayed performance of Showcase we will suspend Choir, Dance, and Acting classes until May. *We will hold classes (regular times) on these dates:*
– DANCE: April 28 & 29, May 5 & 6, May 12 & 13 (Teachers will work on assessments as well as polishing dance numbers for Showcase) – ACTING & CHOIRS: Fridays: May 1, May 8, May 15
We are moving Theatricals to May 30th:
– Friday May 29th – 6pm to 10pm – Load in and Rehearsal – Saturday May 30th – Performances at Noon, 2pm, 4pm
To support this delayed performance of Coffeehouse we are suspending Theatrical rehearsals until May. *We will hold rehearsals on these dates*:
– Fridays: May 1, May 8, May 15 – 10am to Noon
I am aware that these changes will not fit into everyone’s schedules. Please reply to this email if you will not be available to make rehearsals or performances for Showcase or Coffeehouse on these rescheduled dates. We will adjust dances/scenes as needed. This is the best we can do in these unusual circumstances.
Finally, please remember that God is going to help us get through these challenging times. He never promised that this life would be easy, but He did promise that He would always be with us. This experience will help all of us to rely on Him. If you are anxious – ask for peace. If you are scared – ask for faith. If you are overwhelmed – ask for strength. If you are worried – ask for trust. We don’t have to handle everything on our own. God is just waiting for us to ask.
God’s peace and blessings, Marilyn
