The Year Coming To An End....

As Mann show comes down to its final days this year, let it be known that next year Mann Show will be putting on not one, but two main stage productions. The big news is that one of the plays will be in all black and white, no color at all, not even in the actors mouths. Have a great summer Mann Show Patriots and Mann Show Mothers and Fathers. If you have any news on the upcoming plays next year, I will be delighted to know!!!

I went to the opening show of the new Mann Show production "Brick", and was simply blown away by the incredible acting and stage production that had gone into it. What makes the entire play all the more great is that The Pin was played by a freshman, Katey Walker, who only had one week to learn all her lines and get into character. Someone that has that kind of skills has a place in Mann Show. Justin gave a wonderful performance as Brendan, a boy that dives into the criminal world after his ex-girlfriend is murdered to find the killer, but has no idea what he is getting into. If you are a fan of action and crime thrillers, this play is for you to see. Due to its graphic violence and suggestive scenes, children twelve and under will be turned away at the door. Tickets are being sold at a first come first served style and are five dollars a ticket. Do not miss out on the Crime-thriller movie-based play!!!

In looking at my past entry, I realized I have made some mistakes already.... No worries though. If you would like to make comments or suggestions to what I can do better, please send to my email axle98@charter.net. Also, Justin had done a great job on the blog spot, but felt he could no longer keep updating it due to the hard work and concentration working on the new upcoming play. We all should thank Justin for making the blog what it is today, and what a great job it is. I am thrilled to have the privelage of running the blogspot. We should look to a bright future ahead for Mann Show!!!

The Worst Thing That Ever Happened To Me Was On Christmas Eve...

Merry Christmas to Mann Show.

I hope you are all enjoying your hard earned and well deserved break time. Rest up, because production of BRICK will begin shortly after we return to school in January, and you can expect the pace to escalate rapidly.

There will be an Audition Workshop on Thursday, January 8th at Christ Church Episcopal School. All who intend to audition are advised to attend.

Auditions will take place the following week. More details will be posted here shortly.

Christmas Break was kicked off Friday with a surprise visit from a few Mann Show Alumni. Jay Bridgeman (Furman), Luke Douglas (USC), Jocelin Lehner (Winthrop), Ross Ovington (Goucher), and Knox White (Eugene Lang) were all kind enough to not only visit, but to put on a special improv show for Coach White's 6th period class. These incredibly talented individuals were actor-titans of Mann Show 2007 and 2008 and were instrumental in the success of Treasure Island, The Dining Room, and Teenage Jonny Quest in Tokyo.

The effects of their great efforts in this company can still be seen and our they have our undying gratitude and admiration.

Call The Understudy, I Can't Go On Tonight...

I love Slings and Arrows.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the show, Slings and Arrows is a brilliant television series that debuted in Canada in 2003. The critically acclaimed series chronicles the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" surrounding the New Burbage Theatre, a Shakespearean theatre festival where it seems, life indeed, does imitate art. The brilliant writing of the show has an incredible capability to be simultaneously emotionally touching, and hilariously.

The Drama 3/4 Honors students of 5th period, have been able to enjoy to enjoy the first two six-hour seasons of the show over the course of the last two semesters, and hope to complete the third, and final season of the show next semester, following the Spring Production. If however, you have not had a chance, yet to see this show, you totally need to. Its too funny and too good to pass up. You can probably get the DVD from Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

And So It Begins...

The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived. The Mann Show 2009 Spring Production is:




Stay tuned here and at Brick's own blog for all the details on BRICK, the best up and coming thing in Greenville this spring.
