CAMELOT - DVD Movie A live-on-stage performance filmed for HBO in 1982, Camelot returns Richard Harris to the role he immortalized on film in 1967. Harris replaced the original King Arthur, Richard Burton, in this revival production as it was on its way to New York's Winter Garden Theatre, which turned out to be Harris' only role on the Broadway stage. Fifteen years later, he's an older and wiser Arthur, a little more world-weary but still with a twinkle in his eye. He's paired with Meg Bussert, whose Guinevere is not as beautiful as Vanessa Redgrave in the film, but a better singer and appropriately younger. Bussert, who was Tony-nominated for her role in Brigadoon the year before, sounds eerily like original Broadway star Julie Andrews at times. Richard Muenz (The Most Happy Fella revival) plays Lancelot, Barrie Ingham plays Pellinore, and Richard Backus is Mordred. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's score is still a great classic, and here two songs cut from the movie are restored, "Before I Gaze at You Again" and "The Seven Deadly Virtues," but inexplicably cut is "Then You May Take Me to the Fair." Not surprisingly the production has a more stagebound feel compared to the sumptuous feature film, but it's good to have a more faithful version of the show available on DVD. --David Horiuchi Vol. 87, No. 1. Theatre program. Many people who work on Broadway keep scrapbooks of their experiences, with photos, signed posters, ticket stubs, and of course Playbills.

Here are some more information for Playbill Winter: One of the most important things to keep in mind when throwing a Broadway themed party is the group you will be entertaining. If the party will be filled with Broadway buffs, then you can choose a popular musical like Wicked or The Phantom of the Opera around which to center the festivities. If your partygoers are infrequent theater patrons, then you might consider choosing a theme that involves a well-known pop culture reference. Good examples would include West Side Story, which has a popular movie attached to it, or Mamma Mia!, which uses the music of ABBA to score the show. A clever way make your party invitation stand out is to design it like a Playbill. The black and yellow color scheme at the top of a Playbill is eye-catching and very recognizable. Party decorations can be as varied as the shows you choose to use. Think about what scenery catches your eye the most when you see a show, and use that as a template. For example, if you are using The Phantom of the Opera,then you will want to be sure to drape red and black cloths on tables and chairs, and use plenty of candles to light the rooms. For Wicked, anything green goes, and that includes the food! Green frosted cupcakes, green sprinkled cookies, and dyed green dips for chips and vegetables are great details that help tie everything together. If you plan on having activities at your Broadway themed party, you can never go wrong with "Name That Tune," particularly if you are entertaining people who know their soundtracks. For a crowd less familiar with musicals, karaoke with the chart-topping songs from Mamma Mia! or Jersey Boys is a fun way to encourage party participation without the worry of having to know any lyrics. Character charades and theater trivia are great team activities. For something creative that requires no theater knowledge, have a decorating station with props from the show you are using as your theme, such as a The Phantom of the Opera masquerade mask decorating contest.

History
The Orange County High School of the Arts reorganized as a public charter school on April 20, 2000, and relocated its primary facility from Los Alamitos High School to the Santa Ana Unified School District. OCHSA is a tuition free donation dependent public charter school governed by a Board of Trustees representing parents, the community, educators, and the Santa Ana Unified School District. The school is also supported by The Orange County High School of the Arts Foundation, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to the financial support of the school's tuition-free artistic programs, as well as its ongoing expansion plans. The Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors of prominent business and cultural leaders. With Development staff's input and guidance, the Foundation Board of Directors establishes fund-raising goals, manages long-term strategic planning, implements the school's capital, public relations and marketing campaigns, and oversees funding criteria. Members pay annual dues, serve on fundraising committees, attend the school's activities, and serve as ambassadors to the community-at-large.
Academics
The Orange County High School of the Arts provides a rigorous academic program that produces high achieving, motivated scholars. OCHSA's high school hours are from 8:10 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Fridays. The middle school schedule is from 8:10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Fridays.
Until 1:30 p.m. each day, OCHSA students attend standard academic courses under a block schedule system with three academic classes per day, alternating each day for a total of six classes. Honors classes are offered, as well as many Advanced Placement classes including AP World History, AP U.S. History, AP Physics, AP Statistics, AP Spanish, AP French, AP Literature and Composition, AP Language and Composition, AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Art History, and AP Music Theory. OCHSA also has a unique selection of electives including but not limited to Acting, Piano, Ceramics, Make-Up, Graphic Design, Taekwondo, and Photography.
OCHSA's 2008 Academic Performance Index (API) score of 871 ranked the school as one of the top five ranked high schools in Orange County and in the top 10 percent in California.
OCHSA was named a Blue Ribbon School (American education's top prize for an individual school) in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Education. OCHSA was one of 250 Blue Ribbon schools recognized nationwide in 2006, among 35 schools in the State of California and five public schools in Orange County. OCHSA also was named a California Distinguished School.
According to the school, 99% of OCHSA alumni continue on to college[citation needed]. Students also must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA to continue participating in their art conservatory.
Art Attack Live
Art Attack Live set 2004-2005
The "Art Attack Live" is OCHSA's daily live television broadcast of the day's announcements. The show began broadcasting by a group of 4 students from the Film and Television (Jarrett Fein and Michael Nunes; Ryan Wilkinson and Robert Chambers on technical) conservatory in September 2003.
Today, crew members consist mostly of students from the school's Leadership (ASB) class, not OCHSA's Film and Television conservatory. The show is broadcast from one of OCHSA's two live television production studios in the technology building. Students at the school are given the opportunity to audition to become hosts of the show. This show is filled with creative people who make art attack a very interesting and unique part of OCHSA.
Arts
After 2:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, the school focuses on arts education, which is divided into 11 conservatories: Production and Design, Ballet Folklrico, Classical and Contemporary Dance, Commercial Dance, Creative Writing, Film and Television, Integrated Arts, Instrumental Music (divided into Classical Instrumental, Piano, and Jazz), Music and Theater (divided into Musical Theater, Drama, and Voice), Opera, and Visual Arts. Conservatory ends at 4:50 though students can stay later if necessary to rehearse or work.
James P. Blaylock, a fantasy author, is Director of the Creative Writing Department at OCHSA. The department's Writer in Residence is the award-winning fantasy author, Tim Powers. Every month the Creative Writing conservatory holds a reading.
The Instrumental Music Department holds many concerts throughout the year, and performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City in spring of 2006. Its Symphony Orchestra, directed by Chris Russell, performed in the Sydney Opera House in the summer of 2008.
The Production and Design Conservatory at OCHSA designs the costumes, lighting, audio, makeup, and sets for over 125 school performances each year. This Year it welcomes a new director, Kevin Cook, and multiple new teachers including Aaron Kokesch, Wally Huntoon, Ray Gibson, and Scott Collins.
OCHSA's largest event is the annual Season Finale, which takes place in early June at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. The Finale recognizes notable graduating seniors, information about each conservatory, theatrical presentations, and instrumental performances, often showcasing pieces from the top performances of that year.
OCHSA's Gala fundraiser is the other large event, held in coastal Orange County towards the end of March. Gala is a themed fundraising event in which OCHSA students from various conservatories showcase their talents. It takes place at a hotel ballroom converted into a fully-functioning theater by the Production and Design students. Gala's theme for 2009 is "Jubilee de Paris".
Student life
Art Attack Live set redecorated to fit the campus's western-themed spirit week.
Because OCHSA is a commuter campus of students from 92 cities[citation needed], many students ride Metrolink and Amtrak train services, utilize OCTA bus service, or carpool with other students.
OCHSA has at least 3 high school dances every year: Homecoming (despite a lack of sports teams), Winter Formal, and Prom (11th and 12th grades only). All dances are themed, held at off-campus locations, and funded by ticket sales. For the 2006-2007 school year, the school added a "MORP" or "Backwards Prom".
The extended hours of OCHSA present a challenge to some students. Most students have to practice their specific art after school and still find time to finish their homework. Many students find little personal free time during the week between schoolwork, practicing their arts studies, homework, and traveling long distances to reach home. Before and after school and performances, many students visit local restaurants in the nearby Artists Village, such as the Gypsy Den or Starbucks.
Campus
OCHSA's campus consists of a seven-story office tower (formerly a bank) and three surrounding buildings. The main tower's bank vault is still in use as a teacher work area, and occasionally an octagonal theater.
Symphony Hall's main stage set up for Awards Night 2005
OCHSA has two on-campus venues. Symphony Hall, a theater which holds most of OCHSA's medium to larger performances, was formerly a historic Church of Christian Science before being converted to a theater. The hall contains a theater, a side rehearsal room, separate practice rooms for instrumental musicians, a basement and library for the creative writers, a front of house audio booth, and a balcony overlooking the auditorium for Production and Design students. This balcony houses an ETC lighting booth, multiple Source Four followspots, and a Lycian M2 Followspot nicknamed " The Spartan laser ". There is a plan to expand Symphony Hall into an adjacent parking lot. The other on-campus venue is the Black Box theater, which holds most of OCHSA's smaller performances.
The single-story "technology building" houses the bulk of the Film and Television department, the computer graphics portion of the Visual Arts department, and a few administrative offices. There are two fully-equipped studios[citation needed], one primarily for live television production and the other for film work. There is also a computer lab and a number of individual video editing rooms. The campus's daily student-run news television program, the Art Attack Live, is broadcast from the television studio and adjacent control room.
Situated between the main campus and the technology building is the "totem pole", a five-story ceramic tower covered in tiles. It serves as a gathering place for students during break times as well as a loading and unloading zone.
OCHSA's "Annex" is a combination of two white, windowless buildings connected by a set of ramps referred to as the "cheese maze" or "Star Tours" (as coined by Vice Principal Mike Ciecek). The Annex is home to many dance and vocal rooms and contains the Production and Design workshop, where OCHSA's production sets are constructed and painted. The Annex also houses the "Harry Potter" room, a Creative Writing classroom at the base of the stairs connecting the building's two halves. The room contains a collection of screenplays and books, as well as padded pillows and beanbag chairs.
