For part of the day, students will have time to play such sports as basketball, soccer, volleyball, and others.  Teamwork and sportsmanlike conduct will be encouraged in non-competitive games. They will learn the proper techniques in stretching, strengthening, and conditioning for better health.  Come join us for some healthy play.

Broadway at Sierra Musical Review

 

"Broadway at Sierra" is coming back to Sierra College.  It is a musical review with 62 songs from 30 different musicals, such as Les Miserables, Chorus Line, etc., and are woven together to tell a story.

 

Gina Threshie (HISTerical Sisters) is the Costume Director for Sierra College theater, and she has expressed such enthusiasm about this performance, I'm sure it will be fabulous! Two of her daughters, Christina and Blessing, are performing, and it would be awesome to have you come out and support the event. I saw a film clip and am very impressed by the tap dancing and incredible voices. The acting is very powerful!  Come and see some of the area's most talented performers. King Arthur is coming!

 

The tickets are usually $20, but we have arranged for a "pick up rehearsal" to be a discounted performance, especially for large families on budgets. You can purchase $3 tickets at the theater for Thursday, July 18th at 7:30pm.  Doors open at  7pm. Please note that this is not advertised to the public, so the regular Ticketing agency is not offering the special price. 

Good Morning Sacramento came by during a rehearsal and did a short piece on it:
