STAGE NOTES ANNOUNCES DONATIONS FROM WORKING AND DISNEY’S HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, ON STAGE
Watertown, NY: In living our motto, Performance With A Purpose, the Stage Notes Foundation is proud to announce the following contributions to our community. We will join forces with the Northern New York Community Foundation to empower area middle school students to identify the way they would like to see their community enhanced. Stage Notes has dedicated $5,000 of our show proceeds, combined with $5,000 from the Community Foundation. By the time we enter the season of gratitude and giving in November and December, a total of $10,000 will have been awarded to area nonprofit organizations. We have also made a charitable donation of $2,500 to benefit the WPBS-TV endowment fund and a matching donation to Stage Notes own endowment fund, both administered by The Northern New York Community Foundation, thus investing in the future of the arts in our area. We have continued our commitment to The Watertown Urban Mission by collecting 321 school supplies for their backpack program at our production of Disney’s High School Musical and 136 perishable food items at our production of Working.
We hope you will stay tuned for exciting news from Stage Notes as we enter into our tenth season. It is because of the tremendous support of our community that we are able to provide students with rich theatrical experiences, as well as life lessons in philanthropy.
THANK YOU from all of us at Stage Notes!
Stage Notes 2018 Summer Musical - A CHORUS LINE
Stage Notes is proud to present A CHORUS LINE on July 19, 20, and 21 at The Dulles State Office Building Auditorium. A CHORUS LINE tells of the poignant ambitions of professional Broadway performers as they bare their souls and put their lives “on the line” at an audition for an unnamed Broadway musical. It is a celebration of the chorus dancers– those valiant, over-dedicated, highly trained performers who are the backbone of America Musical Theater. The 1975 original production won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical. It currently stands as the 6th longest running Broadway musical in history.
Stage Notes will be presenting A CHORUS LINE – HIGH SCHOOL EDITION which is a full-length version of the musical, adapted for performance by high school students with family audiences. Every aspect of the show has been developed specifically for high school performers: dialogue and content are age-appropriate, dance sequences are of a length befitting high school dancers, and allowances are made to feature actors of any race or ethnicity. The materials have been prepared with the authors’ approval. We are excited to share this iconic piece of musical theater with our students, while maintaining a level of comfort for our family audiences who have come to look forward to attending our July performances each summer.
