That Thing mp3!
Glad to see you're coming to That Thing! On Friday, a major part of That Thing's activities is something we'll call the mp3 Project. In order to participate in that activity, you must download the mp3 and put it on your mp3 player (iPod, Zune, PSP, SanDisk, Walkman) or download the file and burn it onto a CD for your portable CD player. Instructions are below. Once you've downloaded the mp3, don't listen to it! This is top secret until Friday!
NOTE: The mp3 is 21 minutes and 34 seconds long. Make sure your download grabs the whole thing. If your mp3 is shorter than that, but you still hear Willie's voice, this is the only instant in life where you should not be comforted by his dulcet tones.

Just a reminder that the deadline for Blackbox Magazine articles is August 1st. Make sure to send an e-mail Willie's way pronto.
Next year, Troupe 5341 will begin our newest venture, "Blackbox Magazine." Blackbox Magazine is our way to get in touch with the community. We want to share the wealth of knowledge and opinions of our students with the world around us. A fresh issue of the magazine will come with each quarter of the school year and will include as much content as we can cram into it.
If you write essays, poetry, fiction, scenes, reviews, jokes, anything, we want you to get it into the magazine.
In order to be a part of the first issue, please send an e-mail over the summer with your proposed content to:
BLACKBOX@CYPRESSLAKETHEATRE.COM
NO LATER THAN AUGUST 1!
Remind everyone you know!
