Sound was provided by Uncle Mike Benkosky! We were also presented with an HP Quilt to raffle off courtesy of Martha Kistler and the Kansas Capitol Quilters Guild! Thanks again, everyone!

Posted project update #2A bit o' news!
We're finishing up the first draft of the show we're taking to Scotland, You Don't Know Me... We'll be doing our first read-through next week. Of course the show's monologues and songs were all written by the kids, so they can take full credit for the creation of the show.
If I get feed-back in the affirmative, perhaps I could post either a snippet or two of some of the pieces, or maybe even the whole script when it's a bit more polished!
On a more serious note, we're really needing funding. I spoke with a rep from AHSTF today (American High School Theatre Festival), and while she was very supportive, she emphasized our need to get caught up in our payments (we're about two months behind), or we'd need to make some serious cuts in terms of how many students we can take. The Festival people have vendors that have to paid- theatre venues,housing, airfare, etc., and we aren't pulling our weight right now.
So: if anyone has some bright ideas funding-wise, or knows how to get the word out to more people, please let me know!!!!
Again, thank you for all your support, and know how much we appreciate you all!!!

Scott,
How bout your kids putting together a flash mob at the malls or some other places where people gather in numbers, and at the end, do a pitch for the Scotland gig, and pass the hat. This also would be a great story that the Capitol Journal or even the Kansas City Star might want to jump on for their arts section. Best, Jayne
