Disaster! A Musical Comedy
The Academy Players Production of Disaster is coming soon!. The musical, created by Seth Rudetsky, and written by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick, plays homage to classic disaster films of the 1970s.
In this musical, a group of New Yorkers attend the opening of a floating casino and discotheque that quickly succumbs to multiple disasters. These calamities correlate with plots of various disaster films of the 1970s such as earthquakes or killer bee incidents echoing situations from the films Earthquake and The Swarm respectively.
Additionally, this play keeps with a 1970s theme by being a jukebox musical, using popular songs of the decade as musical numbers.
Performances:
March 10th -11th & 17th -18th at 7:30pm

The Teen Book Fest demonstrates the value of teens within our literary communities and focuses attention on the authors who write for them.

Spring Blood Drive
CA will host an American Red Cross blood drive on March 24. All blood types are always needed. Students must be at least 16 years old AND all student donors must have parental permission. The parent consent form is available HERE. Because it's during the school day, we will also require students to signup in advance. A representative from the American Red Cross will be in the atrium during lunch periods on Wednesday, March 22 and Thursday, March 23. Students are to bring their signed parent consent form when they sign up to donate.
Our school-wide goal is to collect 75 pints of blood. The American Red Cross provides schools with a scholarship each year. Seniors who SIGN up to donate will be eligible for the Red Cross scholarship. Please note, if a senior signs up but is unable to donate they are still eligible for the scholarship.
