Holy Cross Theatre Ensemble

Best wishes for a wonderful performance to Mr. Dalrymple, Miss Manzano and Miss Stuckart and everyone participating.

I see fireworks! I see the pageant and
Pomp and parade
I hear the bells ringing out
I hear the cannons roar
I see Americans - all Americans
Free forever more!
Is Anybody There? ~ 1776

While they are waiting for the River City Boys Band uniforms to arrive our members helped out with the Holy Cross Crusader Closet uniform exchange.
Hope they have been rehearsing the “Think System”
La da da de da…. IYKYK! 🎼🎺🎭

We had an informative, fun and interesting week during the HCHS Crusader Camp.

Mr. Dalrymple conducted the “I Got Rhythm” session where he taught the students popular musical theatre songs and perfected their techniques.

In the “What A Production” session Mrs. VonBergen walked through several aspects of stage production. Katie Apolinario and Emma Triano demonstrated dances, songs and monologues to use for auditions.

Maddie Barlow attended as a camper.

Everyone is looking forward to working with these talented elementary students in the future!

Best wishes to Brooke, Aubrey, Katie, Hannah and everyone at the Carbondale Dance Academy.

We are holding a brief meeting to discuss expectations for students interested in auditioning for the listed leading, supporting and featured roles.

The Holy Cross High School Summer Enrichment Program is a great way to meet people and catch up with friends you made during our shows! Take a theatre production class with Mrs. VonBergen or a music class with Mr. Dalrymple or even a math games class with Mrs. Pawluck! There are several classes in many areas of interest in addition to the performing arts.
