Please Cross Post on Facebook or any other Parent/Student forum!

From Jim Motes:

First of all, congratulations to our talented and accomplished performers, technicians, and production staff! The number of nominations this years is only surface reflection of the deep, deep levels of talent and passion which our program is so proud to celebrate! Regardless of the outcomes, I am so very proud to be a part of such a phenomenally vibrant program, and I am confident that the upcoming ceremonies will be very rewarding!

Halo Awards: 15 Nominations! The ceremony is next Wednesday (May 30th) at 6pm. The bus(ses) will be departing GHS at 4pm for the Palace Theater in Waterbury, and hopefully we will be back before 11pm, but the ceremony has run a bit long the past two years.

Those wishing to drive with their parents must have a note signed and returned to me by Tuesday, May 29th. No students may drive themselves to the ceremony.


I can order all tickets, including adult tickets. Cost is $10 for students and $18 for parents, and I will be placing that order this Thursday afternoon, so payment is appreciated ASAP. If you wish to order tickets after that date, you can contact the Seven Angels Box Office at (203) 757-4676 . Performers and directors will be seated in the orchestra, and parents and guests will be seated in the balcony.

CHSMTA: Hooray for ten nominations! That's more than the last three years combined for GHSTA! The ceremony is Monday, June 4th at 7pm. The bus(ses) will be departing at 3pm for the Palace Theater in Waterbury, so that we can make a rehearsal time. We should be back by 11pm, once again.

Those wishing to drive with their parents must have a note signed and returned to me by Friday, June 1st. No students may drive themselves to the ceremony.

I have not received all the information for ordering tickets yet, but we are again charging only $10 for students, although adults are $31. As soon as I know how ticket orders will be handled, I will contact everyone.

  [P.S. I know that this is a "traditional" day for seniors, but this is technically a school-sponsored event, and students cannot participate if they are not present in school that day.]

Theatre Arts Showcase: June 7th at 7pm is the GHSTA Showcase, and the students have already begun preparing the various numbers for the show! Tickets are only $5 each, and we hope that everyone will join us to celebrate our final show of the year, and the final performance on stage for our seniors!

[N.B. Strike of all costumes, sets, etc. will happen immediately after the performance, and any performer/technician not staying to assist with strike will not be allowed to attend the Banquet/Induction.]

GHSTA Banquet/ITS Induction: Sunday, June 10th at 2:00pm is the banquet and induction (set-up begins at 1:30). All students who applied for admission into ITS Chapter #7384 were accepted, and the paperwork has been processed with the central office for the induction ceremony. Awards and regalia (stars and medals) have been ordered, and current members can check in with me to find out what they will be receiving at the event. Our calendar of productions will be presented at that time, although not all of the production titles may be ready for announcement due to the timing of this year's productions. [We appreciate your patience, and we do hope you all will have a stress-free summer, ready to go in September when we do announce any remaining productions!] Cost for the banquet is free for all student participants in GHSTA, and family members can join us for $10 each. However, all attendees (students and family members) must notify me by June 1st at the absolute latest.
