Cast of Legally Blonde

Congratulations on your casting!
You will notice that on the list there are general terms such as Harvard Student, Marching Band, Delta Nu or Frat Pack.  Those terms and in fact, the list itself does not necessarily reveal everything you’ll be doing in the play. Once we’re together, you will hear more of the specific scenes, songs, and dances that you’ll be in. Remember, the script will change some- avoid highlighting lines just yet. Songs and line assignments may be altered. Mainly now, trust the process; be kind to your fellow students, remain open to opportunity and direction, and let us work and play hard as a united theatrical community to bring this energized show to life!
— Sampad, Brian, Saki and Erika

Drive for Schools Fundraiser!

Thank you!

THANK YOU to everyone who chose to support your school through the Drive for Schools fundraiser. It is an important one in that it allows all of us to reach outside our own pocketbooks to friends, relatives, neighbors, and business associates. Along this line, thank you to Jessica Cambell for setting up the ticket sales opportunity at Deluxe Foods in Aptos.

Drive for Schools raised $13,755 for our annual and capital funds, which, unfortunately, was quite a bit short of the $20,000 goal. We will need to make up this shortfall in our other fundraising efforts this year.
