   MEN TO BARE ALL FOR FUNDRAISING CALENDAR  
 

*** PRESS RELEASE ***
Men of Scarborough Music Theatre to bare all for fundraising calendar.
~ 12 months, 18 men, $0 costume budget ~

To raise money for their upcoming season, and to prepare for a February production of THE FULL MONTY, the men of Scarborough Music Theatre are preparing a 2011 calendar, THE FULL SMT, with each month featuring a group of men representing a show or an area of theatre tech. With the help of photographer Richard Burdett, SMT's publicity coordinator Mike Scott has been soliciting volunteers from the SMT membership past and present to participate in the calendar photo shoots. The calendar features new members of the group as well as past members from the last 25 years, with a range of ages that spans nearly 50 years.

"At the beginning of last season, if you had told me that I would be asking nearly every man I've ever worked on a show with if they would pose naked with me, I probably would have thought you were crazy", says Scott. "But when the show selection committee announced their recommendations, the calendar just seemed like a natural fit to both publicize the show and to raise money, and the support for the project has been fantastic."

With the pictures finalized and the finishing touches being put on the calendar layouts, the calendar will go to print late in August and be available in September. Orders can be placed now through our website for $19, including delivery in September. Further information about Scarborough Music Theatre's upcoming season, including the details of their upcoming productions of "ANNIE" and "THE FULL MONTY", can also be found on the web site. Tickets for both of the shows are currently on sale through the Theatre Scarborough box office and can be ordered by phone (416-267-9292) or online at Scarborough Music Theatre.

   Theatre Ontario - Trial Adjudications  
 

THEATRE ONTARIO is looking for Groups willing to have a play adjudicated on a trial basis by one of the newly trained adjudicators from the 2010 Adjudicators Course at the 2010 Theatre Ontario Festival.
It should be a fall production not already scheduled for adjudication by someone else. Although we would like to wrap this project up this fall, some course participants may ask to defer the event until later in the year because of other commitments. So there may be a need for 1 or 2 available productions later in the season.
We would want to run the evening as a full adjudication, with a public adjudication immediately after the show, and an hour-long private adjudication with company members, afterwards. There will be no cost involved to the host group other than supplying the visiting adjudicator with a copy of your script.
Community Theatres interested in volunteering one of their productions should contact dennis@theatreontario.org and let him know the TITLE of the show, the PLAYWRIGHT, and available DATES when a trial adjudication could take place.
