May Social Update

Dear Friends of JAKS and Cast of the Social Event,

There has been a mistake in the date of the Social.  Many of you have expressed interest in having friends and family attend and I discouraged it because we were invited to perform at at the opening Social for the Empty Nesters, and although Jim was asked to host the event, it was not his party. 

BUT!!!!! The mishap with the date has given us another opportunity.  The Social Event we were planning for on May 20^th, is actually on May 22- Monday evening at 7PM (323 Sanders Lane, Kaysville).  We will still honor our commitment to provide the entertainment, and I hope the cast will be available for that. 

May 20 JAKS will sponsor it’s own Social Event and hope that you will attend.  It will still be at Jim’s in Kaysville.  Everyone is welcome, but we will need a head count.  Also, it is an opportunity to get people to attend who have never seen a JAKS production.  It would be great if those attending this function could bring friends and introduce them to JAKS. This will not take the place of the JAKS benefit concert but will give us another opportunity to bring new people into the pool of cast members, donors, technical support and corporate sponsors.  If anyone would like to help me with the specifics of this event, please text me. (801) 510-8414. 

Thanks, and hope to see you there.

Jaks Social - Rehearsal

Okay.  I have almost completed the program for the Social Event. I have a couple of auditions that still need to happen, however.

****Please do your homework, especially since we aren’t going to get to some of the numbers in the performance again for a few weeks.  Listen to and practice Trashin’ the Camp, and if you are a Muse-Learn your part from the movie video on Youtube.  Also, learn the vocal parts.   

Everyone is in the Newsies Medley- some of you will do some of the dancing and some of you will do all of the dancing, but I need all of you at the rehearsals so I can work it out. 

Aidan, Preston and Kurk have been added as main dancers to Cruisin for a Bruisin.

The other number that will take a lot of time is the dance in Down in New Orleans.  The dancers for that are:  Dekklan/Sierra, Hannah O/Kurk, Kallam/Mikayla, Tucker/Jaquelyn, and Zack/Emma (she may not be available for the Social so I will choose another dancer when I find out for sure.

For the next couple of weeks I would like to concentrate on the dance numbers and in May we will clean up the solo numbers.
