Cypress Lake Theatre: 5341

Hey, guys! Just wanted to remind you all that I will be taking your headshots this Wednesday through Friday (August 25th, 26th, and 27th). Headshots are very important. It can really be an actor’s most important marketing tool. The whole purpose of your headshots is to get you the opportunities that will open the doors to auditions and work. Luckily for you, you’re getting your very own headshot taken for free at school so, jump on that opportunity! Some of you have already told me which day you’d like to take them, the sooner the better. Your pictures are going to come out better if I’m not trying to take everyone’s picture the last day. So let’s try to make this as painless and easy as we can!

Your historian,
Allison Scott

Well, it's that time of year again. On Friday, September 10th, the time will come for... That Thing.

For the newcomers, That Thing (also known as The Thespian Jamboree, the mp3 Experience, etc.) is a day where all Cypress Lake Theatre kids get together and go on an adventure through the blackbox. This adventure is hosted by Ben, the omnipotent voice from above - with no religious affiliation.

You will need:
- Either an mp3 player (ipod, iphone, itouch, or any standard mp3 player)
- Or a walkman (cd player)
- Your own earphones *** This is new for any returning thespians. No more sharing headphones and music players. ***

Please, if you don't have an mp3 player or cd player, try to borrow a friends/family members/anyone you know.
If you have more than one mp3/cd player, and are willing to lend it for the meeting, contact Sloan Brettholtz (sloanbrettholtz@aol.com) or Casey Kelley (yellekyesac@aol.com). It's greatly appreciated.
If you have absolutely no way in your human life to get ahold of a music device, contact Sloan or Casey. And I mean NO. POSSIBLE. WAY.

This is going to be a crazy and fun afternoon, so keep checking the website for updates about That Thing and for the mp3 to post.
Tell your fellow troupe members to check out this post so we can all be prepared for the meeting!

Thanks and see you soon,

Casey Kelley and Sloan Brettholtz.

And welcome to what will be the most wondrous and thrilling year of your adolescent lives! Freshmen, if you are reading this you have successfully entered and found your way around the Cypress Lake Theatre Website congratulations! So lets get down to business, troupe 5341 has had some exciting years in the past, achieving goals we didn't think were possible in our little town of Fort Myers. So fasten your seat belts kiddies this year we will be without a doubt bigger and better than ever before. If you are thinking to yourself that there can't be that much that goes on in this department, click on the calendar tab to your left and read the abnormally long list of events taking place this year. So this means that we will need more help and commitment than in previous years, work calls, meetings, and involvement with productions are all crucial aspects of being an honorary “theatre kid.” Get ready to have a blast, kick some butt, and doing what we all love making Mr. Loete crazy! See you all on Monday!

-Ali Hooks, Troupe 5341 President.
