Set in a seemingly perfect society without pain, war, or emotion, 12-year-old Jonas uncovers the truth behind his world\u2019s manufactured harmony and must decide whether to accept the status quo or risk everything for freedom and authenticity. $8 pre-sale tickets are now on sale through our cast and crew or online at orhsmasquers.booktix.com<\/p>\n Second<\/u>, are you a photographer or interested in photography? If so, then Masquers is the place for you! We are looking for photographers of any skill level to take pictures for our shows this season. If you are interested, please contact us at\u00a0masquers@ortn.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally,<\/u> if you are looking for a performance opportunity, Masquers is sponsoring a Musical Theater Audition Workshop on Friday, September 5, right after school in the Auditorium for anyone interested in auditioning for the Masquers Fall Showcase. This showcase features soloists, instrumentalists, and small and large group musical theatre numbers. Bring any musical theatre song you are interested in performing for the Showcase and come prepared with around 32 measures (about a verse and a chorus, 2 verses, something like that). Our music director, Amy Brock, will be there to work with as many of you as she can and give general advice to all. We will not have an accompanist for the workshop, so try to find a karaoke version to sing with. Scan the QR codes on the Masquers Office window to join our communication groups or email masquers@ortn.edu<\/a> with questions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If exploring another country, making lifelong international friends and learning a new language sounds fun to you, then consider a High School Study Abroad Scholarship offered by your local Rotary Club.
