Medford Middle Schools Drama Club

This weekend was such a product of hard work and dedication. It’s such a wonderful thing having this many kids who seem to truly love theater. And I GET to help that grow and shine!!!! This show was extra special as it’s my third year. So, this will be the first crew I’ve seen grow and shine over all three years of middle school 🥹🥰 If anyone has photos or videos (especially from Friday!) they’d like me to share on our social please email me.

Wow!!!!! Most packed auditorium to date. Thank you for all your support. Please come back tomorrow and cheer on our Saturday cast. Hopefully less sweat!

Tickets are selling like hotcakes as there is an art show going on at the same time as the shows! Get your tickets today to see W***y Wonka tonight and/or tomorrow! Might as well go to both since both casts are fabulous performers :) https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Four.show%2Fmmswillywonka%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExT09GNnpnaFFrWjlaTWVYcnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7D0gCaaqYXHA35z1yXXfSZ5SGXZcOOj3hTerhipjBvANoRGwiPO_szINq1Aw_aem_wVG7HUso9z1CXuHNEWoBMw&h=AUBw6jYzgjI1lf4tsOk6A6Q7QSpveR3hHFPeZQlhArI-3WN_0HCibIEJI9a3f8wlCsM8LjfdBHqzhwxat6G05UAMJIqNCSorxhewobBwa4DZpXpHiVPnZpUv9hFkGgcRPyWl_OE

It takes a lot to put on a show and for those who can't make it would like to do a social shout out! I could NEVER do this alone and as I shove my lunch in my face I'm feeling so much gratitude.
To put an amazing show on like the two that are going to happen this week:
84 cast members working hard
34 kids backstage and behind the scenes working hard
One parent building a 13 foot boat, a bed for the grandparents, a giant TV, and an elevator (shout out to Chris H!)
One parent thrifting, sewing all hours, and organizing the front of house and check ins with yours truly (shout out to Jen B!)
One mom making sure our squirrels look adorbs (shout out Julia F!)
One mom making sure everything built looks gorgeous and wrangling all my artists (shout out to Ingrid!)
One dad offering hugs when the director hurts herself and making sure mics are good to go (shout out Hendrick!)
One mom offering voice lessons for free (shout out Laura B!)
When I can't find brown shirts anywhere, a local company stepped up and gave us a really good deal next day (shout out to Body Toppers!)
Two MHS teens helping everywhere and anywhere (shout out to Lucia and Charlotte)
An amazing organizer and choreographer (shout out to Lisa!)
An angel sent from above who helps weekly (shout out to Camilla!)
Genius sound engineer (shout out Jacob Y!)
A principal who is on speed dial on my phone and helps within minutes when any problem happens (shout out to Mr. Tucci)
All the drama families who have donated to the show or are volunteering their time this weekend (too many to name but what you are doing is vital to a good weekend!)
Family who steps up to help pick things up, make things, support especially during tech (shout out to Aldo, Sam and Eve!)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. So much work and love has gone into this show and can't wait to show it off to all who attend!

Shows start at 7pm both nights. There will be raffles, and even a middle school art show to enjoy while you wait for the doors to open.

Better late than never. We now have merch on our website for Wonka. There's a sweatshirt, t shirt, tote and water bottle. Won't be in time for the show obviously, but might make for good post show gifts or holiday presents.
