All tights should be the opaque type.  These will show better on stage and will also be more durable.

Note:  Names may be listed in more than one category.  Also, more than one pair of tights is suggested for show run, as they will likely be heavily used.  These tights/socks/shoes are to remain in the students' show boxes from move-in through the last show.

Underclothes will be basic black for all characters, with the only exception being: Samantha D, Emma M, Grace L, and Natalie S who will need white tank tops/black or white shorts are okay.

Looking forward to a great show run!

Program Update

We still have a ways to go to meet our program advertising goal for Phantom Tollbooth.
If you have an ad that has not been turned in yet please turn it in to the magic box at classes or rehearsals.
If you have a neighborhood business that you visit often, consider asking if they would like to place an ad in our program.

We would really like to have a color cover for the program and be able to include pictures of our cast and crew.
Our program advertising goal is $3,000 for a color cover.

 We are currently at $700 for our advertising. So if you have been meaning to turn in an ad or ask a business if they would like to advertise please do so!

Thank you all so much for your help!

The Voice of Journey Theater!

Audition to be 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 Curtain 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..
