Haiti - Want to Help?

Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church (our partner for Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) is collecting health kits which will be transported to Haiti by the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). If you would like to participate, please pack the objects listed below and bring them to the HPCT rehearsal hall on SUNDAY, JANUARY 24TH between 7:00 and 10:00 pm. We will transport them to the UMCOR pick-up site.

The contents of the kits follow:
Please place these items inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag:
1 hand towel (15”x25” up to 17”x27”, no kitchen towels)
1 washcloth
1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
Note: UMCOR is purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to the health kits before shipping. Please include $1 for each kit you send toward the purchase of toothpaste.

Important Kit Assembly Information
All items included in kits must be NEW items.
All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items-nothing more. Do NOT include any personal notes, money (other than that listed above) or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

Email me at jblevins@hpcommunitytheatre.org if you have any questions.

Greensboro Country Day hosts a free master class

This Saturday (Jan 9) at 12:15 Greensboro Country Day School will have a Broadway musical director giving a master class in their theatre. Michael Rafter has directed many musicals on Broadway, including the Sound of Music, Thoroughly Modern Millie, The King and I, and Gypsy. He is currently in charge of all of the productions of Jersey Boys. He will be giving a lecture about how to succeed in the musical theatre business as a young performer.

At the end of the presentation, he will audition students for his summer camp called Destination Broadway. At this camp, you are trained for one week in dance, voice, and acting by Broadway professionals. If you are planning to audition for the camp, please prepare a short musical theatre audition song.

The master class is free and no pre-registration is required.
