First General Meeting on 9/1/10!

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:06:28 +0000

Hi, Sinag-tala Family members. Newcomer? Returning company member? Did you miss the auditions or the recent Ignite the Nite Fundraiser but still wish to join the 2010 Sinag-tala company?

Well, you’ll be glad to know that as the weather begins to heat up again this week, so does our 2010 season. Don’t miss the excitement – join us at the important orientation for all new and returning company members tomorrow, Wednesday, September 1, at 6:30PM at the Sinag-tala Studio, 4200 82nd Street, Suite E, Sacramento 95826.

We welcome even those who’ve just now made up their minds about joining (or are still thinking about it). This orientation will give everyone a chance to meet each other – kids, teens, grownups, families, artistic staff, business staff, volunteers, etc. and to learn more about this year’s show. Some of the things we’ll be sharing will be our schedules; casting policies; production costs; volunteer needs; the material we’ll be performing; safety and security; etc. You get to ask all the questions you want to ask. We’ll also get everyone registered on our official database.

Remember that the minimum age is 4 years old. No previous experience or training is required. Of course, seasoned artists are always welcome too. See you tomorrow!

CEO & Artistic Director
