Field Trip -- The Government Inspector at Jones College Prep, a Chicago Public School

Saturday, Nov. 11
5:15 PM - 10:20 PM
FREE!

This is an opportunity to see another high school production of the same play GBS did as our fall play.  We get to see how another group interprets and performs the same material--although it is the same script, I’m sure there will be many differences throughout, in set and costume design as well as character interpretation and staging!

--Leave GBS from door O, the choir/band entrance, at 5:15 pm PROMPTLY
--The show is at 7 pm.  Tickets are free!
--We will leave Jones at approximately 9:30 and return back to GBS at approximately 10:20 PM

We will be traveling on a yellow school bus.  Jones College Prep is located at the corner of State Street and Harrison Street in downtown Chicago.  Please eat dinner on your own or bring something to eat on the bus.

Please fill out this attached field trip form, have your parent sign,  and return to Mr. Knight in the drama office by Thursday, Nov. 9, if you plan on going.  Again, this is a no- cost, free field trip!

Homecoming Parade--Saturday, Oct. 21!  Meet at St. David's church at the corner of Glenview and Shermer Roads by 9:30 am.  Wear your drama club apparel (fall play shirts, Zeitgeist shirts, drama club shirts, an old show shirt).
