BRIDGELAND THEATRE COMPANY PROUDLY PRESENTS
by Rod Serling Directed by Adam W. DelkaLetter from the Director –Adam W. Delka
Thank you for joining us for our first production of the season here at Bridgeland High School. It seems appropriate to select William Shakespeare’sA Midsummer Night’s Dream,as we are navigating through uncharted territories in educational theatre and live performances. It’s almost like a dream…or a “Puckish” nightmare, as surely someone must be playing a joke on us all. We are also performing outdoors, just as Shakespeare would have in the Renaissance period. Our production theme for the year is20 21 A Space Odyssey We found this to be a fitting theme, as we are forging through the great unknown in theatre, education, and the world as we know it. Plus, each of our shows this year will likely seem a bit “out there”, as normal operations are no longer the way of things. We, as a theatre community, are trying to figure out how to keep theatre and performances alive in school. The challenges laid out have forced us to be innovative and resourceful so that we can continue to offer our students and communities this beloved art form. Hence, our very first outdoor production. Welcome to the Bear Cave. I am beyond honored to be named the new Theatre Director here at Bridgeland. In a few short weeks the students, parents, and Bridgeland HS faculty and staff have shown me what an amazing community we have here. Our student organization is alive and thriving. These young adults ultimately just want to do theatre. Our current state of pandemic crisis has made special moments and opportunities like this to have more value and meaning than ever before. Our love for performing, design, construction, and the ever so important elements collaboration and community are what have been missing over these past few months. Until now! These students have seized the opportunity to work and learn under some incredible circumstances. Each day, the students have shown up with a positivity and willingness to do whatever it takes to have this opportunity. Even if it means wearing masks while rehearsing outdoors in 90+ degree weather. That, folks, is dedication. I am beyond proud to be a part of such a fine group of young ladies and gentlemen.
Lastly, I want to say a quick thanks to all of our Booster Officers, Booster Members, corporate and family sponsors for helping make the Bridgeland Theatre Arts Booster Club (BTABC) and URSA MAJOR Theatrics a successful and worthwhile educational experience for our students, Bridgeland community, and audiences. It still not too late to become a supporting member of the BTABC or a corporate sponsor. We cannot continue to do theatre without your support. Please reach out to our BTABC officers or me if you need information on how to show your support. And a very special thanks to our Technical Director, Mr. Nathan Stanaland, for being a welcoming rock as we set sail on this uncharted adventure. We could not make the magic without you! Now, sit back, relax, mask up, slather on some bug spray and enjoy our production ofA Midsummer Night’s Dream
Sincerely, Mr. Delka
