Hi all! 


So many of you have reached out to ask if you can still submit a video for our ALL CAST FROZEN Challenge that was posted last week on the blog and sent out via Remind- yes! PLEASE!! 


I have received about a dozen videos so far but would love to receive at least 2 dozen more :) .

The deadline for Frozen Virtual "Dress" Rehearsal Fun Challenge has been extended to this Friday and then next Monday in advance of Passover- I will release our collage of Frozen Fun. 


I would love to invite each cast and crew member family to participate in a Virtual Frozen "Dress" Rehearsal!

Please film your cast/crewmember/yourself singing and dancing 10 seconds to 30 seconds of your favorite song or moment from the show AND to film yourself singing the bows track linked here with the dance moves. Start singing and filming at 47 seconds into the bows track.

Feel free to dress in any Frozen clothing/costumes or let your imagination soar and create a Frozen inspired costume for your character from clothing in your house. 

Take a picture of your Frozen participant/yourself and also send it in! 

 Families with multiple sibling participants can submit as a group or individually. 

Please submit your videos and a picture by Friday, April 3rd before Shabbat, and  one week from today,  I will post our Frozen "dress" rehearsal.

Frozen Virtual "Dress" Rehearsal Fun Challenge!

Today is March 24th which would have been the All-School  Musical Showing of Frozen but just because we are not altogether under one Davis brick and mortar roof does not preclude us from being a Frozen Family under a virtual theatre roof!

I shared a rehearsal clip on social media on Sunday in honor of our delayed show opening and a wish to invite all of our Frozen families to have their cast member(s) video themselves (in a Frozen-esque outfit if she/he/they have one) singing, dancing or acting out his/her/their favorite moment from the show, upload to google and share with me so I can make a virtual video compilation to share with all.  My hope was to reach out about this yesterday but my virtual school day was so wonderfully busy it took until today to get this idea out of my head & heart and on to the blog into your head and hearts 

Let us show our Ruach and bond as a virtual kehillah!

Let's keep our amazing artistic community-wide endeavor going and virtually sing, dance, and spread Frozen's message of familial love, letting go, and "let[ting] the sun shine on with each other. In the words of the show, "Let's Fill the Word with Light and Love!"

I would love to invite each cast and crew member family to participate in a Virtual Frozen "Dress" Rehearsal!

Please film your cast/crewmember/yourself singing and dancing 10 seconds to 30 seconds of your favorite song or moment from the show AND to film yourself singing the bows track linked here with the dance moves. Start singing and filming at 47 seconds into the bows track.

 Families with multiple sibling participants can submit as a group or individually. 

Please submit your videos and a picture by Sunday, March 27th at Noon, and on Tuesday,  March 31st, one week from today,  I will post our Frozen "dress" rehearsal.

FROZEN SCHOOL MUSICAL, HEALTH UPDATE, & SCHOOL CLOSURE

Dear Frozen Families and Participants, 

An all wide school email was sent out a few moments ago sharing that "we are now planning for an extended closure. This afternoon, Monday and Tuesday will be Professional Days for our faculty and staff, and there will be no school for students, allowing us to prepare for remote learning for your children during these unprecedented times. Students will remain at home as we plan to conduct learning as best we can through digital platforms beginning on Wednesday, March 18^th through Friday, March 27^th.

 We will, of course, keep you informed should further changes be necessary. We will be working to reschedule our school musical, parent-teacher conferences, and certain other events impacted, and beginning today, all extracurricular activities including athletics, play practices and after-school programs are canceled."

As this pertains to Frozen, please know that the show will go on at a later date. Frozen is not canceled. It is being re-scheduled and simply postponed. We are still going to put on the most amazing, inspiring, loving production of Frozen yet! The tickets you currently have will apply to Sunday matinee, Sunday evening and Monday evening when the new Sunday and Monday re-scheduled dates.

This afternoon's musical rehearsal is still occurring but we will have it from 12:00 to 2:30pm instead of 12:00-3:30pm.  Please attend as your comfort and convenience level allows.  You may pick up your child at your earliest convenience anytime from 12 to 3:30pm as we know this information is coming out close to rehearsal time. 

Beginning this Sunday, the rehearsal schedule is postponed until further notice. 

We had an amazing morning of Frozen Fun at this morning's Kabbalat Shabbat. Our MS cast and our younger castmates of the lower school sang their hearts out. Such a beautiful morning together and as we pause the musical, for the time being, we will pick up back up with Frozen Fun and will update throughout the coming weeks with a revised schedule and new show dates. 

Thank you for your understanding and L.O.V.E!

The Frozen Team
