From the Jefferson Drama Club:
For the first time in over 10 years, the Jefferson Jr/Sr High School Drama Club is proud to announce the presentation of a Spring Play. After a semester of working together in an extracurricular theater club, playing theater games and studying improv, the students decided to mount a production of Calabasas Street by José Cruz Gonzáles. The students chose the play for its inspiring message of connection.The story follows Domingo Sanchez, a young boy who learns the true meaning of friendship after a chance encounter with the misunderstood widow next door. The two form a lifelong bond when La Viuda Martinez shares her love of artmaking and piñatas with young Domingo.
The play is going to be performed on April 15th at 6pm with a full dinner provided by students in the Culinary Arts program. Students in Media Arts and Business will be working on ticket sales and marketing while students in the Automotive program will help with set/prop construction and running the backstage crew. Keeping in line with the hopeful theme of connection, the production is a truly collaborative experience for the students and community at Jefferson.
This is where you come in! We need your help getting the word out about the show to the larger community. We are also looking for those willing to share their resources and expertise, be it sharing knowledge of stagecraft, or goods and services. Any funds raised will be used for production costs and to benefit the Culinary Arts program. Please reach out to Kyle Stockburger at kyle.stockburger@jeffcoschools.us with questions or to get involved.
Tickets can be purchased here.
You can also donate to support the theater production here.
Does anyone know why some of the funds raised are benefiting the Culinary Arts program instead of all benefitting the Drama Club or Performing Arts program?
