    1  It's time to go see a play!


    2  Here are a couple of things playing around town this week. You might want to pencil them in:


    3  West Valley College presents Epic Proportions, a comic spoof of Holleywood, written by Larry Cohn and David Crane. It runs Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 21, 22 @ 8 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 23 @ 8 p.m., Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 27, 28, 29 @ 8 p.m., and it closes Sunday, Oct. 30 @ 3 p.m.Tickets are $8 for students, and $10 general. The show plays in the WVC Chamber Theatre.  Call 409-741-2058 for ticket information. Our own Jenny Valdez will appear in the production.


    4  The Santa Clara Players present Let's Murder Marsha, a mystery/comedy by Monk Ferris,  on Oct 21, 22*, 28, 29, 30*, Nov. 3, 4, 5, 6*, 10, 11, 12. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings @ 8 p.m. *Matinees at 2:30 p.m. Opening night tix $18.00, all other performances $15.00, senior and student discounts available. Call 408-248-7993 or go to www.scplayers.org. Our own Angie Higgins will be the director, with Sharon Salazar of the Pigeon Players as Assistant Director.


    5  For right now, I'll just plug those two. There will be plenty to fill your plate in the next couple of weeks. We have auditions for the Fall One-Acts on Monday and Tuesday of next week, after school in the Theatre. Show up and sign-in for an audition time. Angie will direct three or four plays.


    6  And next week, for those of you dead from the neck up, is Spirit Week!!! This year, the mighty Sophomores will be doing Willy Wonka on Monday; Tuesday the Freshmen will present The Bay Area (great theme, frosh!), and Wednesday, we will have the Juniors taking us up into Space, and Thursday the Senior Class of '06 presents Hip-Hop!


    7  Following the Seniors' Spirit Day, we have a Powder Puff game, and that night, the ATFNL will have the first Haunted House in the Theatre in over 10 years! Of course we have the Homecoming Rally, and that afternoon, the Homecoming Game, this year on the Andrew Hill football field, and the BAND will march a grand half-time show! The week will end with the Homecoming Dance Saturday night, and THEN, on Monday, Halloween, the ATFNL will hold a special Haunted House AGAIN in the Theatre!


    8  It's been fun walking outside my room after school and watching all the activity going on. A few weeks ago, this place was a ghost town. Well, with the Haunted House and all, it will BE a ghost town, only with LOTS of good spirit. You gotta love ghosts during Spirit Week anyway, and I'll just pretend I DIDN'T use that same stupid joke for the four-hundredth time.


    9  I have recently taken to blowing some of the cobwebs off the Drama Workshop website, so you might want to visit and drop a message off, or just get the thread going again after a long absence. The website is www.ybdrama.com. Once again, it's real.


    10  So if you are bored in the next few weeks, you might think about enjoying some of the things that will be at your fingertips. If you are alumni, well, come on down and enjoy all this stuff anyway! We MISS you!!!


    11 But we're over here having a lot of fun while we do!


    12  Hurry back; it's good times once again around this brokedown palace. We've gotten a few buckets of paint, a whole bunch of props, posters, and dances and all, and I'm pretty sure this place is ready to rock!


    13  Enjoy your Monday, everybody!


    14  Peace.
