Costumes and Jewelry on Tuesday!

Kids are invited to wear their costume a little early and come to class decked out on Tuesday!  I'm expecting to see Broadway characters, Disney characters, Super Heroes and other creative characters pulled out of your kids imagination!  Important thing to remember ~ NO SCARY COSTUMES!  


Also, Tuesday is the Jewelry Fundraiser hosted by Cindy Henifin. We have the church lobby all evening, 5:00 - 7:00 and Cindy will have her beautiful Premier jewelry displayed for you to look at, touch and hold!  All profits will go to Journey.  I have Christmas shopping in mind for Tuesday!  

Come join us as you drop your kids off for class, come back early when you pick up, come if your kids are at dress rehearsal or come if your kids do not even have class on Tuesday!  We will have a great time of shopping, friendship and hot, holiday cider.  See you there!

IMPROV INVASION!

Come audition to be on an improv team and join the 

IMPROV INVASION!

Find more information about being on an improv team HERE !

If your student has taken beginning improv before, be looking for a survey coming soon to help us know how many to plan for at auditions.

Christmas Sweater Competition

Last night 74 students and staff wore Christmas sweaters and scarfs and hats and skirts to make Vancouver East victorious in the Christmas Sweater competition with Portland Journey classes!  Portland, you looked great in your Christmas stuff!  Thanks for letting us join in this fun!

Christmas on Tuesday!

Tuesday, 10/17, we are in a competition with Portland Journey class students!  The winner is the area that has the most kids (and teachers) dress in "ugly Christmas sweaters"!  We will take a photo at our break time to document our results!  Remember, if you don't have an "ugly Christmas sweater", wear another Christmas/winter item ~ snow hat, scarf, red and green, anything with snow, etc!

I'm looking through my closet today!

The Voice of Journey

If you are a current student in Journey Theater Arts Group classes, we'd love for you to audition to be the Voice of Journey!    To audition, call our office between 3 pm and 9 am during the week, or anytime over the weekend (when our office is closed) and after the voicemail tone, introduce yourself and then read through the script below.    The chosen voice(s) will come to our office in Vancouver for a recording session and the recording will be used as the Curtian Warmer at our Fall shows. Submissions will be accepted until 9 am on Wednesday, October 16th. 

    Script:   Welcome to Journey Theater Arts Group and our production of The Phantom Tollbooth Jr.

     What you're going to see is a show performed by students ages 8-18, like me!  We take classes through Journey to build our skills in singing, dancing, and acting.   There's a wide variety of great classes to choose from and there's something for everyone!  If you're between the ages of 6-18, or if you know someone in that age range, be sure to get signed up for classes!  Registration for Winter will begin soon and you don't want to miss out! 

     Explore our website, journeytheater.org for all the info about classes and the fabulous shows we have happening right now!  You don't want to miss Fiddler On the Roof Jr. in Portland, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in Beaverton, or Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr. in East Vancouver. 

     At intermission, be sure to visit all the great tables in the lobby.  We've got souvenirs, refreshments and a silent auction.  All the proceeds help support the work of Journey theater and even provide scholarships and financial aid so more kids can be involved. 

    We couldn't do these shows without the great support of our show sponsors: Pioneer Pest Management and Dentistry on Officers Row.  We want to thank them not just for supporting live theater, but theater that changes lives.  Let's give them a round of applause.

     Now remember, there's no eating or drinking in the auditorium, and no video or photography of any kind.  If you have restless little ones with you, an usher can help you exit during blackouts and applause. 

    I think it's about time to get on with our adventure.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy The Phantom Tollbooth Jr..

Fall Ticket Contest!

FUN-drasier in Vancouver East!

FREE Journey Car Window Decal!

Tomorrow (10/8) at Vancouver East classes, families can get a FREE car window decal of our new Journey logo!   Staff will be on hand to pass out and help apply the new car window decals starting at 5:00.

If you have an old Journey decal, we will have supplies on hand to help you remove the old one before adding the new one!

(Tip:  If you want to remove the old decal at home, heating with a hair dryer makes scrapping much easier)
