Nipmuc Drama Guild: Calling Parent Volunteers
The Nipmuc Drama Guild will host a "work day" for students and parents on Saturday, March 11 beginning at 11am in the Nipmuc auditorium. The group will be working to finish painting the sets, attaching them to their turn tables, and sewing the last few costume projects.
The "Soft Tech" begins Monday, March 13 which is where the drama students begin to use all the sets and learn how to time all the scene changes so all the scenery must be finished by then. Come join them to make this show become spectacular! If you have any questions please email Tam Johnson, Drama Director at tjohnson@mursd.org.
