The Tallahatchie River Players

May 18.2012 S.E.T. day at the park

I had a wonderful day today at the park with the local 5th graders playing the theatre game “SHOW ME YOUR EMOTIONS”.  I was a character Penelope Piper Pippens (how do you do!) and yes my hair was blue and purple, but wow, these kids were amazing. It was so much fun watching these kids act. The emotions game is used to help you think on your feet and to help you realize that when you show emotions you use your whole body, not just your face! You played the game by having everyone draw a card. Each card had an emotion and “touchword” (a touchword is the only spoken word you use, it is your script so to speak) It was so much fun and the kids liked it too (I know, bacause they told me so…lol.) This “game” challenges you to think on your feet and to be creative.

I only put one picture on here of today, because sad to say I didn’t get a pic of every group. I picked the one with the most “posers” in it. And a copy of me!

Thank you Dr. Linda Mitchell for allowing me and the TRP to be a part of this day. Evelyn M

A play by Beth Henley, a Mississippi Author

Crimes of the Heart Poster

March 1-3 at 7pm each night at the Cine on Bankhead Street. For Tickets call Main Street Association at 534-3438 or tickets will be available at the box office each night.

The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

TRP Halloween Party

Housekeeping and a few Safety Rules: At this time, no snacks are planned although snacks and drinks with tops will be allowed in the auditorium. Please be respectful and clean up any messes you make so no one has to stay after and do it for you. There will not be anyone watching the lobby or the outside of the building so please keep up with your children and do not let them run off alone.
