Free Audition Workshop with HF-L Grad Michael Radi:

"Hey Mr. Goold - I hope you and the family are all doing well!! I don’t know if you’ve seen on youtube or instagram, but I’m going to be running a free Audition Refresh Challenge on my Musical Theatre Writer Guy IG Live this coming weekend, and I thought your students might be interested! I’m really looking to help performers of all levels with this one, whether they’re just starting out or have auditioned a ton before, so I’d love to see some fellow HFLers on there 😊 Here’s the link to the information about the challenge on my website:"

Michael was one of our star ZOOM guests at the beginning of the pandemic, he has tons of experience to share, and a really positive approach to the love of theater. Highly recommend!

We all see how the world is opening back up, which also means that theatre is beginning to gather steam again as well. More theatre means more auditions, so I’m going to be running a short two-day Challenge in mid-July to help the Performers out there to re-think and re-energize their Audition Mat...

BROADWAY UNMASKED 2021
We began our production process last fall with song selection, auditions in December, 10-15 hours of rehearsals a week January through April 7, learning, audio recording, blocking, staging, costuming, video recording and producing 30 numbers and 11 speeches. We are processing all of the audio and video and are almost ready to share the production with the world. Here is the plan:


Monday 4/26 7:00-9:15pm Actor Screening (cast, crew, production team viewing in the HS Auditorium)


Thursday 4/29 7:00-9:15pm Family Screening (2 tickets per students (no cost). With 120 people in the HS Auditorium we will be less than 20% Capacity and will facilitate 6’ between family groups by roping off alternating rows and asking that you all leave 2 empty seats between family units. We will provide each cast and crew member with 2 tickets to share with family and should we have a few left for families that need a 3rd beginning with families of Seniors. We will begin this process next week through the students so please make sure your kids know what you will be needing. We will be arranging the ticket details with the cast and crew through our Schoology group. Please stay tuned as we work through the process


Saturday 5/1 10:00am.
Digital Release on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpGir0dAGs6NQf6imAeXXGA)


BUT


To give you a taste of what you are in for, here is a short trailer to watch and share at will. The 5/1 Digital release will benefit from significant word of mouth advertising.

ENJOY

Music Students, Alum, Friends and Parents,
I’m receiving questions, daily, from teachers and parents about the HS Musical. Here is a brief blurb to answer any questions you may have and to give you info to answer questions you may hear. (All Covid restrictions and protocols are being followed including masking, distance and limited numbers.) I did not include that in the blurb below because I was trying to actually write something this year that did not include the words “Pandemic” or “Covid”. …but I give you that info anyways in case someone asks :)

HS SPRING MUSICAL 2021 : HF-L HS is doing a Cabaret style Review this year including 30 songs from musicals throughout the past 50 years. Students were auditioned in December, rehearsed in January, audio recorded in Jan/Feb (in the HS Music rooms converted into various size recording studio spaces), costumed and staged in February, video recording in Feb/March to be released as a full length musical video in mid to late April to the students, families and community. Inside HF-L, received in the mail a couple weeks ago, has a great writeup about the High School Musical; I encourage everyone to check it out as it includes student impressions as well as details and rationale.

The release date will be widely publicized when it is known. The process is so new to all of us that we are letting it take the time it needs to be great. Having already audio recorded 27 numbers and video recorded 14, with 7 more this weekend, I can't express how excited I am to have everyone see the finished product. The kids sound amazing, the acting is great, the video coverage possible is dynamic and the editing is a creative's paradise!

If you want to help:
Catherine Torregiano is leading the charge on a fundraiser for the Drama Club similar to the basket raffles held at previous shows. This year it will be virtual!
Attached is a flyer link about the fundraiser and a request for your support.
