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. We recommend arriving early to reserve your spot in line.

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.

Tuesday Open Thread

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.)

Breaking It Down: Where the District Might Close Schools

Update 2: an absolutely fabulous interactive map made by parent Beth Day (@thebethocracy on Twitter - she covers Board meetings and is fun to read).   end of update    Update 1: Mea culpa, I did indeed get Decatur and Thornton Creek mixed up. Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this? Because the district seems very hellbent on this effort with no oversight skid marks from the Board.    To clearly state - I do not believe that closing 20 schools is a good idea. I think they hit on 20 because they thought it might bring in the most savings. But the jury is still out on the savings because the district has not shown its work nor its data. I suspect closing schools and THEN leasing/renting them is the big plan but that means the district really has to keep the buildings up.   But this district, with its happy talk about "well-resourced schools" is NOT acknowledging the pain and yes, grief, that is to come fro

MEETING CANCELED - Hey Kids, A Meeting with Three(!) Seattle Schools Board Directors

 Update 2: So I have seen a message from President Liza Rankin on why she, Director Evan Briggs, and Director Michelle Sarju backed out of this meeting.  In a nutshell: - She says there was no organization to the meeting which is just not true. They had a moderator lined up and naturally the board members could have set parameters for what to discuss, length of meeting, etc. All that was fleshed out. - She also claimed that if the meeting was PTA sponsored, they needed to have liability insurance to use the school space. Hello? PTAs use school space all the time and know they have to have this insurance.  - She seems to be worried about the Open Public Meetings law. Look, if she has a meeting in a school building on a non-personnel topic, it should be an open meeting. It appears that Rankin is trying, over and over, to narrow the window of access that parents have to Board members. She even says in her message - "...with decisions made in public." Hmmm - She also says that th
