PRESIDENT'S CORNER
February General Meeting

I hope you had the opportunity to enjoy the Mime Troupe's dramatic production of Children of War this past week.  I found it such an effective piece of silent theatre.  Below you will find a sampling of photos taken by Rhonda Thompson.

Next up is our February General Membership Meeting on Tuesday, February 13.  We will meet in the black box after the PTSA meeting ends (at approximately 7:00 p.m.) Please make the effort to join us and hear from Ms. Price about the Theatre Conservatory.  It's also a great opportunity to learn more about Guild activities and how to take a more active part in the events we produce to support the Theatre Conservatory.  We love to get to know our members better!

This Friday's Musical Theatre class's fundraiser has sold out but you can still support them using the donation link below in the newsletter. 

Fly High, Pegasi!

Pegasus in the Wild

We don't want to miss an appearance or accomplishment! We rely on our guild members to let us know where to spot a Pegasus in the wild. If your child is in a non-Booker T production, please let us know. Our talented kids are so busy we need your eyes and ears to make sure we get the word out. Please include viewing dates, ticket links and any other details that will help us spot a Pegasus in the Wild. Alumni are Pegasi as well so keep those tips coming in too!!!


You can submit the information via Facebook or contact Communications Chair Kathy Gameros via email communications@btwtheatreguild.com
