One of the goals of the 9th Grade Experience is to tell the stories of the widest-range of students possible who are involved throughout Emmaus High School. In order to dive a little deeper and really get some behind-the-scenes information, at least one time per month, the podcast will attempt to follow a group of students who are attempting to excel outside the classroom. For the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, that focus will be on the Emmaus Theater Department and its production of the musical Hello, Dolly! We will be talking with freshman cast members, crew members, and anyone who has a hand in making the show a success in time for the anticipated opening in March 2020.

Volume 3
It's getting closer to the opening curtain for the freshman involved in the production of the theater department's spring musical Hello, Dolly! In Volume 3 of this behind-the-scenes look at the preparation before the show's Wednesday, March 18 debut, we check back in with Mason Steltz, Dom Zientara, and Jacob Klinedinst to see what has happened to them since their auditions at the end of December. In this conversation that took place right before taking the stage for an afternoon dance routine practice on the stage for the first time, the boys discussed the anticipation of waiting to hear if they made the show, what the practice schedule has been like, and how they have adjusted to their roles in the show and their place in the theater department.

It's now less than one week to the opening curtain for the freshman and all those involved in the production of the theater department's spring musical Hello, Dolly!
In Volume 4 of this behind-the-scenes look at the preparation before the show's Wednesday, March 18 debut, we check back in with Mason Steltz, Dom Zientara, and Jacob Klinedinst to get the scoop behind what it’s been like since we last heard them taking the to the stage for rehearsals for the first time in the middle of February.
In this conversation, the boys discussed the lengthy process of getting each performance in the show “just right,” the bonding and feelings of family towards the cast from spending so much time together, and what will be going through their minds leading up to the performances and when they hit the stage. Near the end of the episode, we also discuss the effects that the recent Covid-19 outbreak could have on the scheduled performance dates and what that would mean to the performers.
