Welcome back, GFAA family! I hope everyone's spring break was wonderful! Here are a few random - but important - reminders and updates...
Tomorrow is open house! I'd love to see and meet as many family members as possible, so be sure to stop by the theatre and dance rooms if you have time. I'll have some of the older kids' current design projects out for them to show you if they'd like.
Make sure to check out the new updates to our "Auditions around Town" board, right outside the dance studio! It will have information on three different auditions coming up for the musicals My Fair Lady, Annie Get Your Gun, and Gypsy. There will also be some info on some great children's theatre going on currently in the metroplex!
This Tuesday, March 20th was "World Theatre for Children and Young People Day." Whew, that's a mouthful! But it's of course something that I'm very passionate about. It's a little late, but here is a nice, short article about the importance on theatre in our youths' lives.
Also, don't forget that next week on Tuesday and Wednesday we have STAAR testing for some of our upper grades. I'm sure our All Stars will rock that test. :)
I hope to see you tomorrow!

An Important New Addition!
Happy Monday to all!
I'm really excited to tell you about a new addition to the fine arts hallway! It's a little project that I've been planning for a while and finally have gotten around to starting!
Outside of the dance studio is the newly created "auditions around town" bulletin board! I'm very passionate that each and every one of our kids gets as many opportunities as possible to perform and hopefully the information on this board will help provide that! We also want to get Garner's name out there in the local arts community- DFW needs to know discover the true all stars we have here!
I promise that I will only recommend theatres, dance studios, and companies that I know are safe and well-respected. I will also try to post as much of the information as possible here on my blog as well, so that everyone will have quick access to it.
Here's what's currently on the board:
Studio B Performing Arts is holding auditions for the classic musical Fiddler on the Roof on Saturday, February 11th. There are limited ensemble (chorus) roles for children. Families are encouraged to participate together! Kids should sing 16 bars of a musical theatre song (preferrably with accompaniment on a cd) and have a monologue prepared. For more information, visit http://www.studiobtheatre.info/
Also on the board (and also highly recommended) :
Dallas Children's Theatre (DCT) still has a few spots left in their Spring Classes which run from January 27th - April 21st. Tuition is $220 and all sessions are taught by seasoned theatre professionals.
Drama Level 1 (for Kinder/1st graders): work on your acting skills with the show "Mermaids and Pirates" every Monday from 4:00-5:30!
Drama Level 2 (for 2nd/3rd graders): "Act, Act, Act!" is on Tuesdays from 4:00 - 5:30 and "Be a Star!" is on Wednesdays from 4:30 - 6:00.
There is also a Scenes class on Thursdays from 4:30 - 6:00 where junior actors will work on scenes from DCT shows such as "Tom Sawyer", "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", "Little Women", and more!
