And I got this from 5th Avenue theater today:
The 5th Avenue Theatre Seeks Five Pint-Sized Powerhouses! Audition for Oliver! and Secondhand Lions Saturday-Sunday, May 18-19 At Alderwood and Southcenter Malls The 5th Avenue Theatre is searching Puget Sound for five charming, charismatic, and extremely talented kids to join the casts of two of the 2013/14 season musicals: Oliver! and Secondhand Lions. An additional 30 talented tykes and teens (ages 8-15) are being sought to fill a variety of ensemble parts for these two shows. Children being considered for Secondhand Lions may even have the opportunity to fly to New York and audition for Broadway producers and the Tesley & Co. Casting Agency (SMASH, Annie, Newsies, Wicked).
KISS FM’s Jackie and Bender are joining forces with 5th Avenue Theatre casting directors to hear youngsters sing their hearts out. If your child is high-drama, high-energy or just a natural-born star, this might be his or her chance to shine! AUDITIONS Alderwood Mall - May 18, 1-3 PM (3000 184th St SW, Lynnwood) Southcenter Mall - May 19, 1-3 PM (2800 Southcenter Mall, Tukwila) Auditions are first-come-first-serve, with a limited number of slots available.

As an aside, the 5th Avenue expects child performers to keep to a fairly grueling schedule, so only consider this if you are prepared to give up two months or so of your life if they made the cut. There is very little time left for school, friends or family.

There is no better place to learn than The 5th Avenue Theater. You will work hard and grow in ways you never thought possible. The schedule is demanding but then again so is real life. The only part you can't get is the one for which you don't audition.
The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested. It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio. (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)
This may only be a partial list of reasons; please, add anything else in the comments. The deadline to file to run for the Board is May 19th. Entire Board Majority NOT vetting the Superintendent in any way, shape or form. Even the Seattle Times thought that was wrong. It was just absolute hubris and it was wrong. For the second time in just over a year , board members voted to negotiate a superintendent contract during a special meeting with no opportunity for public comment. This time, they showed an even deeper disregard for their responsibilities as public servants: Aborting a national search for a new superintendent and denying Interim Superintendent Brent Jones a chance to show students, parents and taxpayers that, indeed, he is the best person for the job. Government bodies can’t fast-forward through transparent processes just because they think they know the right answer. One other odd thing about the hiring of Brent Jones - most permanent SPS superintendent contracts ar
Why You Should Care Mr. Crabill has found quite the acolyte in Director Chandra Hampson. In the course of discussions over SOFG, she says his name over and over, "A.J .says we...." Now that's not too surprising given the direction the district is heading and that it is Mr. Crabill's work with the Council of Great City Schools is how we got here. But it appears that Mr. Crabill is working very closely with Hampson and we know she wields some amount of power over the majority of the Board. Mr. Crabill is going to continue to work with the Board as SOFG is instituted in SPS. In fact, his role may become more public as it did at one SPS Board meeting in the spring where he was on the phone during the meeting and suggested the Board stop the meeting to "self-reflect." I also noticed that in a district in South Carolina, when things weren't going to plan, he blamed the Board for not following SOFG to the letter. Look for that to happen here if Board members w
