We have been invited to the following event at La Salle Prep!
When: Wednesday, April 30th
Time: 10:00 am, with one intermission and the show will be over by 12:30 pm
Who: 7th and 8th grade classes
What: Written in 1885, THE MIKADO, as well as many of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operettas, still captivate audiences the world over. In THE MIKADO, a most delightfully nonsensical fairy tale, the authors comment on how countries of power tend to force their attitudes and social customs on to other cultures; in this case, Japan…or, at least, the fairy tale Japanese town of Titipu.
· Traditionally, THE MIKADO has been played with full-out Japanese clothes and make-up. However, modern productions recognize it is essentially a fantasy story, and it can take place anywhere, anytime. This is why La Salle’s over all visual themes in THE MIKADO are Steam Punk and Anime.
Cascade Heights 7th and 8th grades will be attending this event on Wednesday, April 30th. Students will need to bring a sack lunch that day as the play does not end until after our regularly scheduled lunch time.
I welcome any parents who would like to join us. Please contact me as soon as you can.
The more the merrier!!!
