Ms. Tolleson, I met you at an IB conference a few years back in N.M. We commisurated over scoring of the old Research Commissions. I'm SO envious of your continuing success there at Temple! I, too, have kept myself a bit too ambitious going all Julie Taymor with a recent production of the Greek Comedy, THE BIRDS. Last years' assessments were a bear with no training - my kids finally told ME what they had to do! Ha! I've decided that this is my last year teaching - It's TIME! I was telling my kids about BAT BOY and hoped there were photos on your site.

Hello everybody! Happy Thanksgiving! I was just up late and started thinking
about you guys. I really miss all of you. I was browsing the site and was
astonished by your success at the convention. Congratulations to everyone. It
really is a great time in your lives. Mrs. Tolleson, I just want you to know how
grateful I am for everything that you have taught me. I have been working on
a lot of films here and so many things from the stage have come into play on
set. Even on the Affleck set, the confidence that you instilled in me helped in
making some great connections.
I hope and pray that everything is going well for all of you. Judging by what I
have read and seen on the site, you are all doing fantastic. The stage looks phenomenal... I'm quite jealous. The ninth grade center, however, had its own
quaint personality... not that I would ever choose it over the auditorium.
I can hardly wait until I see you all again. I wish you nothing but the best and
will see you, hopefully, at Christmas.
With tons of love,
Scott

Break a leg, everyone! And special opening night good wishes to Evie Clardy--performing like a true trooper after spending the night in the ER. Knock 'em dead, Evie!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know that I have been thinking
about you all week and I know that you are going to do a great job tonight! I
wish I could be there to see the theater on opening night, but I'll just have to
envision it in my mind with the help of jody and coach corley's wonderful
photography. =) Everything is going great here. We're opening Miss Julie
tonight as well, and I will be house managing it. (My first job with a walkie-
talkie. The walkie-talkie is so great that I might not go back...=) ) I know this
is the first time for many of you to be on stage in front of such a large
audience, and I know it is the first time for all of you to be on this particular
stage, so make the most of it. Use those nervous jitters to your advantage, let
it give your characters life, and live in the moment as you express to the
audience this tragic event in history. Tell the story to its fullest potential, and
enjoy yourselves. You guys are wonderful, and I wish I could skype the whole
performance!!!! Many hugs, kisses, and breaking of legs.

Great website.

Look forward to "Beauty and the Beast!" My granddaughter, Haley Hillis, is going to try out for one of the elementary school-age parts this afternoon...and I got to thinking about the late 1970's when I was involved in the great THS theatre productions... My, how time flies!

I know I speak for all alumni when I say that I can't wait to experience the new auditorium in all of it's glory!!!!

Peace,

Hey everyone. I know there's probably NO ONE aside from Mrs. T that either knows or remembers me...but that's ok. We're all THS Thespians....brothers and sisters one and all.
Just wanted to wish everyone good luck in another season of what are to be wonderful shows and performances. I can't wait to see them.
If any of you ever need anything that I might be able to help with...please do not hesitate to e-mail or call me...254-931-1051...anytime! I'll do what I can....whether I know you or not. Like I said earlier...we're all family in Troupe 1966...no matter when we graduated!

As anonymous as I am, I would like to congratulate T high on their new auditorium. I would kill to perform on that stage. Really. I would. But good thing I don't have to. As an anonymous writer, I'd like to give a shout out all the directors a part of the t-high staff for an excellent program that has helped me...ahem...STUDENTS WHOM I DON'T KNOW AND COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE...excell in the theatre arts. As an anonymous writer, I'll make an anonymous suggestion. what better way to open the season with a brand new theatre than with a shakespeare play, uniting history with progression, past and future? another thing you could consider is the work-in-progress jukebox bio musical "Lucky". just some suggestions. lastly, as an anonymous writer, i could not possibly know thespian officers, but i'm sure that that trenton schneiders boy will do a wonderful job. you might even want to consider a power/pay increase?
yours truly,

I miss being a backstage mom so much. Jesse Wyman, my son, graduated in 2005 and did four years of theater with Mrs. Tolleson. I helped Mary Jo Koss and Rebecca Brindley make dinners for the tech rehearsal nights. Those were so fun and the kids were so sweet. I enjoyed those times so much and would love to do it all over again. Mrs. Tolleson gave Jesse such a great education in theater that he has pursued it for his career in lighting design. He leaves for Fairbanks, Alaska next month. Thank you, Mrs. Tolleson.
