ACT II has auditions for a street theater performance.
Give those acting muscles a workout or give a hand with backstage work. Help to bring back theater to Albion. On September 18 of this year ACT II Community Theatre will be sponsoring "Shakespeare on Superior".
Here is a note frm John Face, coordinator of the show for Festival of the Forks.
We are planning on having outdoor performances downtown during The Festival of the Forks. These performances will be our first of four shows planned for the upcoming show season of 2021 and 2022.
We are asking anyone interested in performing Shakespeare to step forward and volunteer. Our plan is to have several readings of plays/scenes with two scheduled performances. First show is at 11 A.M. and the second 2:00 P.M on September 18. These performances will be outside under a 10x20 tent.
Performances are completely actor driven which means you will be responsible for choosing your own scripts, directing, rehearsals, sets, costumes etc. and the scenes can be single or multiple actors. We should have some funds available which is why attending tryouts are important.
If you are interested dust off those old scripts and get ready. We will hold auditions where you are asked to do a scene etc of your performance.
Tryout Schedule:
At this time tryouts will take place at Bohm 1 Main theatre at 201 South Superior. Show up at any time during the times listed below for tryouts. For those who have volunteered to work backstage please attend one of the tryouts as well.
June 9 - 6 P.M. - 8 P.M.

Rehearsal Schedule

Albion Parents K-5 New Elementary School Placement Survey
In an interview with Dr. Randy Davis, Superintendent of Marshall Public Schools, he offered clarification on deadlines for the survey and the bond proposal for the proposed new elementary school.
1. If people do not have all the information necessary to make their decision on a location for the elementary school, they must contact school board members before May 10 and let them know they want the return for the survey date moved further back to a later date.
2. To produce a bond proposal does not require picking a location by May 10.
3. If voters have questions on what the deed agreements with the college are, what environmental studies and infrastructure impact studies have been done on each possible location or any other questions they feel necessary before they fill out the survey, Dr. Davis said they can contact their school board member and make their request known.
Surveys can be picked up at Albion City Hall between 10 and 3 pm or can be filled out online: https://bit.ly/3npJQk0
