Regis Performing Arts Takes Center Stage!

Fall Play—Leaving Iowa Early Bird Drama

Regis students performed Leaving Iowa in December for a virtual audience. Theatre in a pandemic was a new hurdle this year, but the students did an excellent job navigating this new platform. Nine iPads were set up so families could enjoy the streaming performance from the comfort of their own home. It was not the ideal situation, but the students handled it with positivity and the show was a success!

Spring Musical—Godspell

In April, Regis High School students performed Godspell for a small in person audience and a virtual audience. Having a live audience again was the highlight of the show. Opening night, the livestream went down and the students immediately rallied together and entertained the audience with some improvisation as we waited for the livestream to come back up. It was incredible to see the students come together and make the best out of it. Even with all the challenges this year, Regis students found a way to have fun and continue to entertain the Regis community. Early Bird Drama made a comeback this year! With 20 eager St. Mary's middle school students and 6 months of rehearsals, the students put on the widely funny How to Eat Like a Child

and Other Ways of Not Being a

Grown-Up. The show was performed both live and live-streamed in front of a small audience of parents and family members. We are so proud of our kids and are excited to see what is in store for Early Bird Drama next year! Thank you for giving these kids the opportunity to participate in one of the only middle school theatre programs in the Willamette Valley.

Without a doubt, this was our most challenging auction to plan. We were challenged with constant date extensions due to state mandates, guest capacity limits and decisions on whether to have the event indoors or outdoors.

The decision was finally made to have the auction over two days because of attendee limitations, with the silent auction being held indoors on Friday and the dinner and auction being held on Saturday outdoors.

What seemed like a huge gamble, not knowing how many people would want to come or whether or not the weather would permit, it ended up being a great success. Our community and school family was beyond grateful to be able to enjoy a night out.

We are humbled yet again by the tireless support and generosity of our community and extended school family. We are truly grateful for all our volunteers who help make Evening at the Auction Little Italy a success. Grazie!

Despite restrictions on the number of attendees that were permitted to join us, together we raised over $250,000
