Saying good-bye this week to all these seniors who made our productions sparkle.

Thanks to Paul Sunderman for this closing performance pic of TWELVE ANGRY JURORS.

Final stretch of the school year is in view. After closing my 20th production at CBHS, it's time to celebrate a solid 10 years. Here's a look back of the great variety of productions we've done over the last decade.

Goodbye to show 20 and the first 10 years at CBHS is almost at an end. It was lovely to have four former students from year 1 in the audience today.

One for performance for TWELVE ANGRY JURORS Sunday at 2 PM.

TWELVE ANGRY JURORS has turned out to be a phenomenal experience. The actors are all so invested in character and story-telling. Yes, I'm the guide, but it's them doing it and owning it. We have two more performances Saturday at 7 and Sunday at 2. https://www.cbhs-sacramento.org/ticket-hub/

TWELVE ANGRY JURORS returns Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets: https://www.cbhs-sacramento.org/ticket-hub/

Sunday matinee at 2 PM: https://www.cbhs-sacramento.org/ticket-hub/

The spontaneous standing ovation this great group of young actors received on opening night was pretty great--and we don't see those all the time--it was well earned. This particular group has just come together in the best way. Tickets: https://www.cbhs-sacramento.org/ticket-hub/

TWELVE ANGRY JURORS opens Friday. Three performances this weekend and three more next weekend. My students are doing some very mature acting work. I hope you can come out and see it. Reserve tickets at: https://www.cbhs-sacramento.org/ticket-hub/
