PerformanceView: A Time to Perform
By Kaye Osborn
This year is filled with many theatrical offerings. Hopefully, on of your New Year’s promises was to attend more local productions. Rehearsals of the musical Sleepy Hollow are moving right along. I am in need of some volunteers to help with set design. If you are interested, email me at Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.<mailto:chaos_born@att.net>. Your help and creativity would be so appreciated. High schools are in rehearsal for their springtime musicals. Please contact the Modesto View with your information. Let’s get the word out!
If you missed Inherit the Wind at Gallo, it will be performed as a Reader’s Theater in the old Merced Court House on Sunday, Feb. 28 in the afternoon. I don’t have any more details than that so if you are interested, email me!

Our high schools have awesome theatre departments; down to stage craft, costumes, hidden talent and amazing music. We often overlook high school theatre, but we shouldn’t. These are performances by the next generation of professional actors, designers and musicians. Go out and see one of these shows this month!
