“COMMAND PERFORMANCE” for One-Act play SNOOPY!
Sunday, Feb. 28 at 2:00pm – Williams Fine Arts Ctr

Patrons of the Arts invites the GACS family to a FREE “command performance” of the award-winning one-act play. This invited dress rehearsal will be the last chance to see this year’s award-winning performance at GACS before our students take the show to the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Lexington, Kentucky on March 4th.

This is a free performance, but donations will be happily accepted to help defer travel expenses. For more information about Snoopy! and other upcoming fine arts events, please see our website.

Snoopy & Cast Take Best Play in Georgia

Charlie Brown (Aaron Joseph) loses patience with Lucy (Rachel Huppertz) as she treats him like a patient. GAC drama drama students took Snoopy the Musical to Columbus, Georgia this month to compete against 19 schools at the Georgia Theatre Conference for the honor of representing our state at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in March, 2010.  What did they come home with you ask?  The Best Play in the competition! In addition to the ensemble’s win, Aaron Joseph received recognition for his role as Charlie Brown by being named to the All-Star Cast, and Hannah Harte was honored as Best Actress for her role as Peppermint Patty. This marks the 8th time that Director Clif Jones and his students have won the Best Play at the Georgia Theatre Conference.  No other school in the state has won this many times. These eight GTC wins, combined  with 12 GHSA state championships bring the GAC theatre department to a total of 20 state titles. Snoopy the Musical will compete again November 6th at the 6AA Regional One Act Play competition at Buford High School. Congratulations to the entire cast of Snoopy the Musical and to Theatre Director Clif Jones.

Chelsea’s Blog: I Can Tell We’re Gonna Be Friends

THIS has probably been the busiest week of my life. Being away from home from seven am through four pm every day really takes its toll on a person physically and mentally. I am exhausted to say the least.

The year has started out nicely. I’ve been cast in a play (the annual One-Act Play, Snoopy!) so the performing continues to be a big part of my life. I’m glad to have the opportunity to return to the stage. Having a class every day (Drama Four) set in an actual theatre is a really glorious thing.

All of my classes, aside from Bible, have around twenty students in them. The energy in the room is always really refreshing. The bonding and relationships are nice.

I’ve already had three tests: an AP government reading quiz, an AP Literature essay test, and an AP calculus concept test. My AP government grade was a pleasant surprise, my AP Literature, unknown, and my AP calculus….disappointing. Looks like I may need someone to help me out with that math stuff…ugh..

Making friends is always happening. The most notable relationships which began this week were with the “girl who said ‘hi’ to me in the hallway between every single period on the first day,” the “my parents are late picking me up too” carpool guy, and the “red head who gave me a chocolate bar.” Yes, I do know their real names, but remembering all the new names isn’t easy especially when the weeks are so hectic. But, the excuse of “I’ve met a thousand people this week, so sorry!” seems to be working nicely.

Tomorrow, the juniors and seniors will travel to a camp site in Georgia for our annual beginning-of-the-year spiritual retreat. Everyone seems really excited about it. I’m gonna go and make some more new friends!

I’ll let you know if I have any success…
