ANNOUNCING THE TOPANGA ELEMENTARY FALL VARIETY SHOW:
“CELESTIAL & TERRESTRIAL STARS!”
We are excited to announce plans for a truly stellar evening of fun, collaboration and creativity in a variety show highlighting our very unique galaxy of Topanga Elementary school children in acts, ensembles and artistic collaborations! Dancers, stand-up comedians, singers, magicians, sketch comedians, musicians, ventriloquists, jugglers, balloon twisters… you name it! Along with a galactic gallery of our students’ visual artworks - paintings, drawings, pottery, lego sculptures etc etc… all brought together through our “Celestial & Terrestrial Stars” theme!
DATE
Evening of Friday 2nd November 2018 (Pls note this is an entirely separate event from the wonderful Spring Musical which is returning later in the school year)
NEXT STEPS
The intention is for this to be a joyful, creative experience for all who want to take part - with zero pressure to be perfect!!! For kids (groups, duos, solos) interested in performing in the show, there will be an IN-PERSON SUBMISSIONS SESSION after school on Friday 5th October where kids will perform their act (1-2 minute maximum duration please) for the show organizers to help determine the show running order. There will be a couple of rehearsals in the run up to the show itself - dates TBC. For all of our visual artists (again submissions from groups, duos & solo artists are all welcomed), we will be gathering all physical artwork submissions one week before the show. PLEASE NOTE: ALL kids who want to take part in this show WILL be in the show. However, depending on level of interest, we may need to consolidate some acts.
** PARENT VOLUNTEERS - YOUR HELP IS NEEDED**
