Each August, performing artists from all over the world gather in Scotland to take part in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Festival includes over 15,300 different performances of music, dance, theatre and comedy during its three week run.
In the summer of 2005, we have the opportunity to take a completely new cast of students to perform in the Fringe. BR is one of 40 American high schools selected to share in this adventure, and still, the only Marion County high school to participate.
Our goal is to fund raise enough to send every qualified theatre student to the Festival. These students must meet academic, attendance, and theatre participation standards for the entire 2004-05 school year. The cost, around $4,300 per student, includes air and ground transportation, lodging, 2 meals/day, security, sightseeing/tours, and all fees involved with performing (lights, sound, rehearsals, and venue). They will depart for London in late July and return from Scotland mid August. While there, they will attend a workshop and performance at the Globe Theatre, enjoy a variety of attractions including guided tours, tour the Scottish countryside including Sterling Castle, and attend theatrical performances and, most importantly, PERFORM FOUR TIMES IN THE FESTIVAL. While at the Fringed it is their responsibility to distribute flyers to attract an audience, sell the tickets; chaperones will act as ushers. Their set must be portable and there are time limits to "put the show together".
