Friday night and Sat performances to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" are now sold out - meaning, we have 130 seats and those are all reserved. There is still room for standing in the back, sitting in the front and (possibly) sitting at a table in the back in the cafeteria... Still some chairs left for Thursday night! They're going fast! G.

In case you haven't noticed, Salmon Bay School has new red velvet and black velveteen curtains on its old stage AND new LED light fixtures and mixing board AND a beautiful new fir surround for the proscenium arch. It is a minor miracle due in part to the generosity of FOSB, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but mostly due to the efforts of dynamo Steve McGehee who made it all happen so quickly and professionally. It is stunning!

Although the new fixtures are in place, we have not yet paid for it all. Please contact Glyde to see how you can help make those ends meet. ghking@seattleschools.org.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity. This is a much-needed facelift to our tired old stage. It makes those of us who use the stage feel very much appreciated and cared for, and it makes us want to work even harder to blow you away. 

Thank you thank you!

Glyde & Co.

Here is the link to the google.doc for Tom Sawyer tix. Admission is free but you will need to reserve a chair if you want to sit in one. Cheers! And thanks for your support!

"The Matchmaker" by Thornton Wilder will be the spring play this year. This is a wacky comedy of mistaken identity, star-crossed lovers and people pretending to be richer than they are. Happy ending? Ha! Scripts will be available for perusal before auditions. Auditions will be just before midwinter break. G.

Selected scenes from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, adapted for the stage by Glyde Hart King and Riley Richards. This will be our only school-day matinee.
