ALL THINGS THEATRE
THE MAGIC OF MARY POPPINS
The Roaring Dramatics and its 75 student filled cast and crew shared this incredible show with our community this past weekend, and to say it was a hit is an understatement. The magic of this show extends beyond the love of a "practically perfect" nanny and the games she takes the Banks children on, and through the joy from each student on and off stage as they share their God given gifts! After six packed out performances, this show has left an impact on us all, as we consider what it would look like to step back and look at our problems from a different perspective.
Like many of the characters in this show, we tend to see the problems of life right in front of us and it totally fogs up the true perspective of our lives, that we were created, made in the image of God, to have relationship with Him, and only because of our own sin we are separated. The higher view is this: that God being so good and so loving sent His Son for us to live a PERFECT life, die, and rise again, forever conquering sin and death and bringing us into relationship with the Father.
Wherever you are with the Lord right now, this show offers a unique perspective on the goodness of God, that even when life is upside down, there is a God who loves us and is calling us to Him. Only then, “when we learn to look past what we see,” are we able to feed the birds and help those around us. That’s when we see the ways the Lord has put people into our life to step in, right on time. Only then can we truly believe that anything can happen.
Congrats on an incredible run to our Theatre Department and the Roaring Dramatics!

THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL AUDITIONS
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?!
Auditions for our upcoming Spring Musical The SpongeBob Musical will be the week of February 12th - 16th.
Featuring the known characters from the cartoon, this story is a family friendly look at what it means to be a hero. When Bikini Bottom is threatened to be destroyed by an erupting volcano, SpongeBob sets out on an adventure to save his home and friends, even though everyone thinks he is, "just a simple sponge." Tackling issues of showing kindness to our neighbor, fighting for what's right, and standing strong even in the face of adversity are small themes in which the characters in Bikini Bottom grow together!
This show is open to 6th - 12th grades with rehearsals after school and performances the first weekend of May!
To prepare for auditions, please choose one minute of a musical theatre or pop song to sing with a karaoke track. You will also dance and read from the script at auditions.
Some roles are pre-cast for our Senior class, but these will be made public soon!
If you have any questions, please email lizzie.perez@tcslions.org.

INSTRUMENT REPAIR
We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments. If you have an instrument that needs repair as the school year begins, this may be a great option for you. The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus. Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table. This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now. Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
