**Jaks Fall/Winter Update**

Dear Cast and Parents,

Cast Party:  Jill's 9/1512  4:00-    Family Members and Cast of the 4 week summer workshop and How To Succeed 1 and 2 are invited. As always we love to see our alumni and others who will be joining us this fall. Please plan something for the talent show.  More details to follow. 

I have decided not to do "Joseph" and to do "Thoroughly Modern Millie" instead.  "Millie" has a lot of speaking parts and a lot of girl parts, which we need.  There are 4 major female characters who sing, and 5 speaking parts with some vocals.  And there is a lot of dancing (serious tapping) and jazz dances.  Boys, there are 4 major parts and a bunch of minor parts, a small group of male dancers and singers (6 or so).  I hope you are all happy with this choice.  I applied for the rights today, but there are  no holds, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I want to start rehearsal on September 15, also the cast party is the 15th.  Please recruit friends and family members who are serious about acting, dancing, singing.  We will need more cast than we currently have. 

And, last, but certainly not least,  Parents and Alumni, I need your help!!!  There is a lot of room for improvement in JAKS.  So, I have decided to set up committees to help with some of the projects that either get left until the last minute, don't get done at all, or get done half way.  If you would be willing to consider a volunteer position as a committee head, please let me know.  We will set up a meeting and decide what committees are necessary and who will head them. 

Thanks for your help.  Jill
