We are very excited to have been invited to attend the Berlin Improv Festival in March 2014! This will be the first time ever in the festival’s 13 year history where they have hosted a high school improv group and we’re excited to be part of this unique event!
Over their 10 day stay in Berlin, our students will participate in 4 days of workshops from two different instructors (not from the US or Canada) and will perform for a local school audience at the end. They also will be enjoying the festival performances and taking time to visit the historic city of Berlin itself.
For a group of 16 students, the total cost is $32,000 CDN which includes their return airfare, ground transportation, accommodations, workshops and access to the festival. Our goal is to raise at least $10,000 to help reduce the per student cost to approximately $1,600.
We spent this past weekend (January 4-5, 2014) collecting Christmas Trees as a fundraiser for the trip.
...and what a great way to finish the weekend - we'll have raised just over $1,500 after paying for the tree disposal - awesome!
On the far right is Todd Daudlin of Victoria Stump Co. who deserves of big cheer as he donated the use of his bins and brought out his chain saw and chopped up branches so we could cram in all the trees! Also big shout out to Robb Warren at Fernwood Auto Service for letting us camp out on his property this weekend.
We amassed a large number of trees - mixed reactions were abound from "No more trees please!" (the students) to "Bring 'em on!" (the adults)!
Jacob and Nic D demonstrate the proper way to hold the signs while walking the neighbourhood.
