Natalie just finished with her "Club
Cougar" production. It is a mystery, dinner, dance production that
encompasses over 150 students. Tickets for the event sell out almost a year in
advance. This year the seven-night production netted just over $34,000.00 in
profits! We will be developing a portion of the web site dedicated to
"Club Cougar" during the summer months. (Actors: your performance photos
will be posted during June. See Natalie for prints). The following quotation is from an article
printed in the local paper, The Record Searchlight, on

The second longest line in town
Wednesday was at
“Our family wouldn’t want to miss
this,” said Peg Moseman of Palo Cedro,
who waited in the school lobby four hours before tickets went on sale.
All 70 sponsor tables were sold in 15
minutes and about 30 people had to be turned away. Individual tickets go on sale this winter.
The first page we have
established is a listing of Organizations, Affiliations, Unions and Guilds such
as the American Film Institute. We will be adding another page of links to high
school drama sites similar to High School Drama.com at a later date. If you
have a suggestion for a link, please let us know!

The biggest request we have had from
teachers is to provide a list of suggested books/plays for them to buy for
their high school drama classes. We have set up an affiliation with Amazon.com
to provide a listing of books/plays that Natalie currently uses in her
curriculum. We have added the "Bookstore" link, and we hope it will
be useful. We have listed the title and author/editor of each book along with a
short quotation from either the preface or the front/back cover. Natalie has
included a brief commentary about each book. By clicking the title of each
book, you will be linked to Amazon.com for further information.
