This coming Wednesday, May 20, starting after school at 3:30, we need all hands on stage to help take apart and move the seat risers. Actors, crew, directors, parents, and anyone else who can help are desperately needed. There's an event in the auditorium the next day, so we must work until everything is off the stage.
ALL CALL FOR STRIKE ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 20 AFTER SCHOOL

What happens after closing performance?
The crew performs a tongue in cheek performance for the cast -- a comical, mock version of the production. This crew performance generally contains blue material. It's all in fun, and filled with "insider" type jokes for the cast/crew. I advise parents NOT to attend this mock performance. It's really all about and for the kids.
Then, the cast/crew does a presentation of gifts to the adult directors/designers and crew. Jim always closes the onstage party with, "Make good decisions at your next destination." We want the kids to be careful and smart about everything after they leave the school grounds.
After the closing celebration at school, there's an all-night cast/crew party at one of the cast or crew member's house, hosted by the parents of that student. Who wants to be the host? The families in the past who host these parties have always been very proactive and responsible about creating a no drinking, no drugs, and no sex venue.
The kids are full of energy after closing. They really enjoy spending time together at the all-night party. It's all part of the theater experience at Lincoln, and helps them emotionally close down the show after being a big family for a couple of months. Just so you know ......not every parent allows their student to go to the party, or they may allow their student to go to some of the party, but not spend the entire night. This is a decision between you and your student. We respect your decision.

Please donate for Adult Advisors' Gifts
It's tradition that families of the cast and crew thank our adult directors/advisors with a gift. For this show, we have Jim and Debbie as the main advisors, with Norm as the tech builder/director, Becca as the lighting advisor, and Jerod as graphics advisor. These adults have worked diligently and patiently with our kids, providing structure and a good learning environment for all students involved.
We typically buy gift cards to their favorite things, including restaurants, coffee shops, vacation spots, bookstores, etc. If you have any other great thank you gift ideas, please share your ideas with Kathy or Sharron (willowcomm@aol.com or sgargosky@gmail.com).
The box office will collect director's gift donations on Thursday and Friday of this week. Please gift in an amount that makes you comfortable and happy -- in a range of $10-20 would help greatly.
If you will not be at the Thursday or Friday performance, please mail a check by Wednesday to Kathy Weidenbaum at 748 NW Macleay Blvd, Portland, 97210 (pls write check to Kathy, as this is not a Lincoln Drama-funded gift). Thank you for your support of our awesome adults!!!

They are the actors in the first play of the first act. You can see the write-up online, or people who live in NW Portland probably got a hard copy in the mail today.
