Atholton High is part of the CAPPIES of Baltimore, a critics and awards program that involves students writing reviews of high school plays.  Students in our reviewed production are then eligible for awards presented at the year-end, glitzy Gala.  There are opportunities for students to be critics and for parents and students to support our program on CAPPIES.

The Cappies Gala will be Sunday, June 1 at 5:30 PM at the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore.  Our list of nominees is lower on this page. Nominees

Tickets for the Gala are $35 each, and everyone who attends must have a ticket (except for the Cappies orchestra).  Even Gala singers and dancers need tickets!    The Cappies Gala is a wonderful event, one of the best evenings of the year!  The Gala recognizes efforts of the actors, techs, musicians, and critics who have worked this year to bring us so much wonderful high school theatre. Excerpts from many of the year's shows will be performed, including ours, along with projections of nominated students and images from shows. GALA TICKET FORM

All Cappies critics and Anne Frank cast, crew and participants may order a subsidized Cappies Gala ticket through the drama department for just $15.  We need to know who plans to attend as soon as possible, but not later than Tuesday, April 29. ~Everyone else may buy a ticket for $35.

Parents and family and friends may also order tickets through the drama department for $35 each, saving any service charges or trips to the Hippodrome box office. Anyone who gets a check made out to AHS Drama to Mr. Rosen by Tuesday, April 29 can order tickets through us and save all TicketMaster charges and hassles.  

We will be performing a three minute cutting from The Diary of Anne Frank. Everyone who was in the cast before and would like to be on stage at the Hippodrome in our cutting will be included, as long as that cast member buys a ticket (at our subsidized rate of $15) and rehearses.  We will post the rehearsal schedule shortly in the hallway and on the drama department website http://www.atholtonboosters.org/drama/index.htm

There are REQUIRED rehearsals on Saturday May 31 (probably at Centennial) and all day on Sunday June 1 at the Hippodrome.  I will confirm the times of those rehearsals soon.

Remember, all orders for tickets purchased through the school – this means all students who will be performing and parents who would like to order through the school - must be placed with Mr. Rosen by Tuesday, April 29. (If you are going on the spring music trip you need to bring your money as soon as you return.)

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Rosen 410-313-7065 or nathan_rosen@hcpss.org.

Thanks!
