Dear Booster Club Members!

It’s that time of year again where we need to elect a new slate of officers for the Wakeland Theatre Booster Club Board.  If you have any interest in serving on the Board for the 2018-2019 school year, please contact Julie Cottrell, our nominating Chair with questions or to through your hat in the ring.  She and the nominating committee will be preparing the slate for a new President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Parliamentarian.  If you are a member of the Wakeland Theatre Boosters, you are eligible to hold a position.  We hope that you will consider serving in a leadership capacity for the upcoming school year. 

 Since the end of this school year is fast approaching, kindly let Julie Cottrell know of your interest by Tuesday, May 15th. 

Elections will take place during our final booster club meeting on May 30th during our end-of-the-year banquet.

Julie’s email address is juliecottrell@att.net or cell number is 847-471-5945.

A huge congratulations are in order for Senior Nick Blanton! For the second year in a row his set designs for the UIL Theatrical Design Contest advanced to the state level, and this year he is coming home with a 4th Place medal in Division II Set Design. Theatrical Design Contest Chair Rachel Gomez let us know that there were approximately 95 initial entries in the Division II Set Design at the initial round, which were narrowed down to 17 entries for the state level of the contest.

This year’s Theatrical Design prompt tasked the student designers with creating sets, costumes, makeup & hair, or marketing designs that would work for a repertory production of both A Raisin in the Sun and Clybourne Park. Nick’s designs featured a fragmented set, and highlighted both the socio-economic and racial struggles of both productions.

Next year Nick will be pursuing a degree in set design at University of Oklahoma’s Helmerich School of Drama. The prestigious program accepts only 12 incoming freshman in technical theatre each year. We wish him the best and can’t wait to see where his designs take him in the future!

We are so excited to reveal our 2017 Wolverine Theatre apparel. We are offering several different apparel items as well a stainless tumbler, car decal and yard sign.

We want to get these items to you as quickly as possible, so the order deadline will be Friday, September 22nd at midnight. So don’t wait, place your order now.

These would make a great gift for your Wolverine!

Your order will be delivered to school at a later date for pickup. Please email wakelandtheatreboosters@gmail.com with any specific instructions (Ex. “My order is a Christmas/birthday gift for my student, please do not deliver to them directly”).

Thank you!
