Wingtips apart” · “Stop chatting side of stage! (x5000)” · “If you can see the audience, the audience can see you.” · “You said that with great action and character. But don’t smile; you’re supposed to be evil!” · “SLOW DOWN!“ · “That was hysterical! But don’t forget that after a joke, you pause and think “BOOM BOOM”!” · “Smile!!” · “Is that the underwear or money suitcase?” STUDENT SCHOOL COUNCIL HAMPERS October is Hamper Month at KPS.
