HELP NEEDED COSTUMES
Calling all sewers....A
mother/daughter team has graciously agreed to head the costume committee for
the Thespians' Spring production, Pride and Prejudice, but they need lots of
helpers. If you are willing to help out, please contact Mrs. Babal (jbabal@franklinregional.k12.pa.us).
Speaking as a previous "costume mistress" no contribution is too small. I
had a mother who didn't know how to machine sew, but was willing to sew on
buttons, which given the colonial costumes involved was a lot of
buttons! All offers of help are welcomed and appreciated. You don't have to
have a child involved in the production to help out. Maybe you just like to
sew or maybe you are an Austen fan and would love to help recreate her world
on stage at FRHS, it doesn't matter what your motive, just please consider
helping out. Thanks.

THESPIANS LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD CHAIRS AND MORE
For those of you
who are familiar with Jane Austin's classic, Pride and Prejudice, you know
many of the scenes take place in "sitting rooms", hence the Thespian's need
for "seats". Obviously, by the very nature of a play, the furniture will
need to be moved around on and off stage at various times during each
performance and during some of the rehearsals, therefore the
Thespians aren't looking for family heirloom pieces or anything too
valuable or fragile. If however, if you have in your basement or attic an
odd chair or two, which happen to be old-fashion looking, and you would be
willing to temporarily part with them, please contact Mrs. Babal at
jbabal@franklinregional.k12.pa.us. In addition to chairs, they
are specially in need of chaise.
