Thank you for visiting our pages. We would love it if you would Add to this guestbook we are keeping!

Wow! It's been a while since I've returned to CAPA. Glad to see the talent is still flowing from an outstanding program. It's too bad the Instrumental/Visual strands have been discontinued. I truly enjoyed my time in the original four years {86-90) of the program as a visual artist able to think and create freely while experiencing other areas of the arts. I'm now teaching art at Lakeland HS in White Lake, MI. Dare to dream and continue to create!

I was just trying to learn how to finally use a computer and found this site. I am so glad to see the program is going strong. I hope it is as inspiring to the members as it was to me. Still love you Mack Attack ;thank you for getting me out of my shell, now I'm fearless. Check on everyone soon. All my love and thanks, Ande.

Major Kudos!! to Kris Wellman and his entire crew. The Observer coverage is phenomenal and enticing - I highly encourage everyone to take their "cue" from the newspaper article and go see "Slander Is Grander." The play is cutting edge material; the cast is well-honed; the playwright/composer is to be taken seriously!! and CAPA is to be commended for encouraging and supporting this venue.

Big sigh. A fond farewell to you Senior CAPA kids. You have a mountain of memories and friends right behind you, cheering you on!!

We applaud your perseverance, creativity, and zest for life. Journey safely and well.

My Senior Directors: You are the best I have ever had. The Marathon was professional, and all of you had effort and direction in your pieces. I loved how so many of you took chances with younger talent, and I was so pleased with how you could get them to deliver. Roses to you all!!!!

Hello CAPA and CAPA alum. This is a graduate of CAPA acting/vocal from 1997. It's so great that CAPA is still around. I have such great memories of this program and the friends I made. Especially the great friends I still have! Ms. Mack I'm so glad you are still running the program and it's strong! Good luck to all CAPA grads! I check the website for news on alumni -- and it's wonderful that several of them have careers in the arts. Whatever you do in CAPA you'll take with you, even if it's just some crazy memories. :)

Cast of JUVIE awesome job and also to Dan and Taylor from last 5 years you guys were so awesome. I just wanted to tell everyone that they did an awesome job can't wait to see what comes up next year.

Way to go to everyone involved in JUVIE. I saw the movie tonight and could not believe this was done by students. Just a wonderful message for all to see. Thank you for all your hard work. Ms. Mack, nice job with the whole package.

Having a part in the making of "JUVIE" has been a great experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. To the cast and crew "BRAVO" you were all wonderful and should be proud of what you have accomplished. Someday, many years from now, you will look back on this time in your life and smile.

TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON JUVIE: Mr. Wright and I finished finally editing the film. It was an exciting and melancholy moment all in one. We were jubilated that it was indeed a "wrap", but sad to see a most wonderful journey conclude. I hope all of you enjoyed this experience as much as we did. Now we look forward to seeing it on the big screen on April 29th. Tell all of your families and friends to come. THANKS TO CAST AND CREWS!!!!!!!

WOW! It's crazy to check up on this website and see how much work has been done! I'm so impressed! It makes me so happy to see the arts flourishing at Churchill and in my home town. I am so happy for everyone involved, and proud to say I was a part of it way back when...

I AM SO EXCITED FOR JUVIE!!! Woo! I hope everyone is having a great time doing it! I had so much fun doing the scenes in acting, and I'm sure it's even more fun doing the whole show and making a movie! I miss you all! Love, Kari

Cast and Crew of Miracle Worker: Keep up the good work, by the end of the show I had tears in my eyes!!!! I love all of you. Ms. Mack

I'm a major CAPA fan! A lot of my friends are CAPA Alumni or in the group now; Ryan Porte, Kyle Fulton, Jon Sprow(my boyfriend!), Theresa Russo...I've seen some of the shows and I'm forever browsing the web site for pictures of the newest productions! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!

Good luck cast and crew of Miracle Worker, you guys will do great. I hope I can come and see the show!

How exciting to see my neice in the "movies"....always knew you were a start!! Best wishes to all the "stars" of Capa!! Can't wait to see the "Miracle Worker"!

This is a fantastic program which I will definitely consider applying to.

Ohmagosh, I never thought a show could ever be this fun. Footloose was without a doubt fantastic! Yes, we had some drama issues and the whole mirror ball accident, but that's life, things aren't always perfect. "Life is like flowers and meat". Whatever that means. I met alot of super-de-duper geat people that I didn't even know existed, okay maybe I did. This has been an awesome experience and I'm really going to miss the seniors leaving this year(and we just became friends). Everyone was absitively posolutely amazing!!(To my squad, thanx for making everything memorable: E-Diggity, Smooth Butter, T-Time, Leen, Jeezy, Baby-B, B. Blast, White Chocolate Thunder, Tizzisue)Thank you Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Cimm for the wonderful experience!
Brittney: Imperfect_Perfection07@yahoo.com

To all who were part of Footloose - you were phenomenal! The acting was great, the soloists superb, the dancing was wonderful! I and all I talked to were very impressed by all the hard work that truly paid off! Thank you for 3 extremely enjoyable evenings!

Footloose was awesome and all of you should be proud of yourselves!!!

Congrats to all who were cast in MIRACLE WORKER. You were all so amazing!!!! No matter which part you received, any experience in this show is a real tribute. It is a great piece of drama. If you weren't cast, then join me with the backstage crews, and we will work to make this show a stellar production. I am so proud of all of you, and keep up the good work!!!!!!
Ms. Mack

Hi all,
Looks like you are doing some fantastic work!!! Great job Ms. Mack :) I was a student in CAPA from 1989-1991 before my family moved to Ann Arbor. I really loved it and wish I was still in the Arts. Alas, I am finishing my PhD in Biology in Boston. Who'd have ever known the two would mix so well? Just goes to show that CAPA students are quite capable of anything!! Keep up the great work!

Footloose Kids,
It was a privilege to spend a few days developing 'character' with you. I hope you took something valuable home to work on. Thanks for your dedication, the sharing of your gifts and talents, and for your willingness to play along. Hang on to those motivations; they'll serve you well in life. Can't wait to see those loosened feet. Blessings.

I'm a resident of the Redford Township and I grew up in the suburban and urban areas of Detroit. I'm so pleased just to see that Livonia Public Schools have a wonderful theater program. I'm a student of the Detroit School of Arts and just seeing your plays and workshops is just so thrilling and intriguing

To the cast and crew of Beauty and the Beast: You were fantastic, and I am ever so grateful that each and every one of you did the task assigned to you. It is only through teamwork, that we can mount these huge musicals that we do. This show was a spectacle, and now we can look forward to Footloose, and ending our hiatus with Juvie. More musical rehearsals, more shoots with the film crew. We are always busy... but within the arts, it is merely focus and geez-oh-petes, where does time fly? Always quickly, when we are having fun, and creating, and doing what comes instinctively. To our next venture: "GO YOU CAPA KIDS...."
See you on the next shoot for Juvie, or at rehearsals for Footloose.
Always,
The Mackster

I am interested in being part of such a outstanding program cant wait till auditions

B&B rocked my world! One of the best CAPA shows I've seen in a long time guys! You really blew me away, I had to come back a second night to see you since one and a half wasn't enough. Have a wonderful rest of the year, and feel free to e-mail me. I want to hear all of your wonderful stories from the rest of the year. Again everyone involved with B&B was great, cast, crew, orchestra, ushers, everyone! Thank you for all your help with Friday's matinee and just have fun with the rest of the year!
Love,
Delaney: dcoyne@twmi.rr.com

This was my first experience of a CAPA musical, and while I tend to be overly critical of such things the performance exceeded my expectations by far in all respects. The cast and crew of CAPA are truly an astonishingly talented group of people.

My most heartfelt thanks to Sarah and friends for providing me such invaluable assistance. I also wish to thank Sandy, Vicky, Wendy, and Lori for their gracious courtesies.

Al Meagher: mainecoon50@yahoo.com

Awesome job to all---I watched today's matinee and truly enjoyed seeing how much fun every performer seemed to be having, despite the long rehearsal hours leading up to this! Yeah Jenny K.-----your expression shined brightly, from the stage to the back of the auditorium, and the dancing was beautiful as always! Love you so much!!
Robyn K.: dancepommom@aol.com

I just saw CAPA's production of Beauty and the Beast and I totally loved it!! I would call it one of your best productions I've seen. Many compliments to the pit orchestra as well- I almost forgot there was live music you guys sounded so professional! I was also very happy to see an oboe in the pit, since I play the oboe and I believe it is a very important instrument. All your characters were very authentic with very cool costumes as well. I am almost 12 and would LOVE to be in CAPA in 2 years. I am looking forward to the audition experience. Break a leg on your next one!!!

Livonia - November 18, 2005

The feedback from all of the schools who have attended the matinees is fabulous! The little ones are returning to the schools with stars in their eyes while the older students are thinking that they, too, might like to have as much fun as you do performing. One more time, with all of your amazing hard work backstage, in the orchestra pit, in the sound and lighting booths, and very long rehearsals - CAPA students are seen shining on stage!! Thank you for being Livonia's premiere theatre venue!

I watched the matinee of "Beauty and The Beast" today. The cast and crew were superlative as usual. All of you should be proud of your presentation of this Disney classic. It never ceases to amaze me how talented you kids are! Every year kids leave and you think oh man what will they do without this person or that and every year there you are, the new, the multitalented " The Awesome CAPA Kids" . Congratulations to those lucky enough to have tickets.

you guys are going to do AWESOME this week! B&B will be spectacular, I have immense faith in you guys!

I miss you all SOOO much & I'm really sad that I won't be a part of/get to see B&B.

Well, I guess you guys are close to getting your next play up. Break a leg!

Was just talking with someone about CAPA the other day and decided to make the best of my time and look what I found! I graduated 1993, was in the dance program. So happy to see how well everyone has done. Was so surprised to see about Judy Evans, I remember dancing with her is Anything Goes!
Take care everyone and keep in touch. That is my e-mail above.
Stacie Bartman: medic811@rescueteam.com

I'm pretty much excited for b & b. its not lookin so great right now, but I'm sure it will be awesome for the shows

Hi everybody! I'm so glad to see a message board up. I could go on and on about how CAPA changed my life and still not fully grasp the entirety. I love the program and everyone I met in it.

Just an update for anyone who's interested, I recently (May 2005) married my high school sweetheart and Churchill graduate Chris Frank. Mrs. Murphy was actually at the wedding, and Mr. Murphy's band played at it. Thanks to both of them for being a part of my big day!

Right now I work at Allstate Insurance Co. in Northville, but I'm applying for a Customer Service job at BCBSM. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Finance. I changed my major a few times; Secondary Education -> Interior Design -> Entrepreneurship -> Finance. When I graduate I'll have a major in Finance w/minors in General Business and Human Environments from Eastern Michigan. I taught a few dance classes for a few years, but I don't have any extra time right now to even take a class, not to mention teach one. It was fun while it lasted though.

I've been having a lot of fun lately hanging out with some other CAPA alums, including Jen Lerman, Chris Ogden, Danyelle Pinkerton, and one time that I got to see Spock. Oh yeah, and I'm always hanging out w/my sis Nikki, who's still a Dallaire for now, but not after July '06.

I want to let all the kids currently in CAPA know, this will affect you for the rest of your life in a bigger way than you can possibly imagine. And you don't have to go into the performing arts after high school to see the impact. Being in CAPA, it changes the way you live your life, the way you interact with people. You learn what it's like to be a part of a family that has nothing to do with blood. You make the kinds of friends that it's ok if you are out of touch with each other, because you can just pick up where you left off. You know that for the rest of your life, you have a group of people who are going to care about what happens in your life, even if they never let you know. Being in CAPA Dance taught me a lot about communication. Circle Talk isn't just a day to slack off and not dance, it's a day to learn how to share your feelings and vent in a way that things actually get resolved.

I didn't realize it until the day of graduation when I couldn't stop crying, but I truly loved high school, and it was because of CAPA. Thank you so much! I love you all.

Danielle (Dallaire) Frank aka "Dani" or "Alayne": DanielleASFrank@hotmail.com

I used to be in Capa and i just wanted to say that it was an amazing experience for me and I hope everyone is doing great!!!!!! Good luck and break a leg to everyone in beauty and the beast!!!

Yeah I'm not posting much or my brother will hurt me. Sergio Negrete but these plays have been turning out really cool. As well as the musicals like Grease. Kinda sad I won't be able to be part of the productions like my bro but then again isn't life one large act?
Carlos Negrete: FInal_dragon_9@hotmail.com

awww you guys, i miss CAPA :( we've got a theatre thing here, but it's nowhere near as amazing as CAPA

good luck this year you guys, i know you'll all be amazing!

It's about that time again...I seem to post on here once every few months. Just wanted to let the curious know that CAPA will never lose it's impact on my life! I'm currently in a show with a theatre company out here in Denver, and it's a blast...but it's no CAPA. I miss the character development and research we took with every show! I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers my name...

love,
allison joy

Wow, I am thoroughly impressed! It is amazing to see CAPA thrive and it pulls at my heart at the same time. I have such precious memories of CAPA performances, my experiences here hold a special place in my heart. I miss the stage and the people! This program shaped me as a person and I'm forever grateful. Mrs. Mack is an amazing teacher. As for an update on me - I've been MIA since I moved to OK in 99! I went to school on scholarship for theater, but majored in Biology. I was able to teach a few acting camps and work as an extra in 61* the summer it filmed in Detroit, but that's about it. I'm currently working on my PhD in Microbiology here. I'd love to hear what everyone else is up to. Miss you all! Oh, another piece of news is that Brian and his wife had a baby girl in May and Beth is due with a boy in February. It's crazy how fast things change...Hope to see you all sometime!

I hope everyone's doing well. I am really excited to see Beauty and the Beast! It sounds like wonderful group dynamics, I only hear good things! Keep up the great work with both B&B and Juvie. I love you all, take care and break a leg cast and crews!
Hugs and Kisses,

From what I see, CAPA theatre is on par with or better than Northern Michigan University's theatre program. You guys are AMAZING. Keep up the great work.

Congratulations to cast and crew of B&B and Juvie, I'm wicked excited to see you guys do your thing so you'd better impress me (I don't doubt you will). Write me if you want to say hi or talk about life as we know it. I hope ya'll are having fun, I love you and God bless you!

CAPA is an amazing place. I can say without a doubt that my best memories were forged while I was in this program, with the people in this program. Good luck to all of you, I hope your dreams come true.

Chelsey: chelsey_c27@yahoo.com

Hey there, Ms. Mack! Its the Carlomustos checking in. We stumbled upon this website and got a little nostalgic. We are all doing well (Christa, Andrea, Danielle). Good to know that the program is still going strong. Love ya!

Congratulations to all who are cast in "Beauty & the Beast!" We have totally SOLD OUT 3 - count 'em! - 3 matinees for Livonia Public Schools - a whole lot of elementary & middle school students have taken you up on your enchanting offer to "BE OUR GUEST!" Have fun rehearsing and putting together a most fabulous show!!

Looking forward to some quality CAPA magic!
Sandy Coyne

CAPA was such an awesome experience and the memories will last a lifetime. It's an amazing program and I am proud to say I was a part of it. Best luck to all!!

Congrats to everyone who was cast in B&B! I know that the show is going to be stellar.

Eden: CAPAFundraiser@yahoo.com

Hey Everyone, I am so glad that I am in the CAPA program. I am having a blast, I love all my new friends, and all the new people I am meeting!!!!

The travesty of New Orleans has had me running the experience of Streetcar through my head. I feel like I should have done more research... but looking at pictures won't let me visit the city.

If you're in Manhattan in October, give me a holla. I'm in ETC's Octoberfest.

Love you all,

Jon

Thanks to all of you who tried out for JUVIE. This film is going to be amazing. All of you are so talented. If you weren't cast, just remember that we have more auditions coming soon for future shows...and.... I will post sign up sheets at least a week prior to certain shoots where I may need extras in the background. Remember that casting is based on a multitude of things: not only talent, but the interesting combinations of looks, voices and personas. I appreciate each and every one of you. Next week: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST..... Break a leg!!!!!

Hey everybody -- I know I'm going to miss CAPA and the people in it so much.
The only reason why I don't already is because I still feel like a Sophomore -- not a graduated senior off to college.
To all of you incoming Freshman -- this is one of the best things you could ever do for your high school education. Not just for the arts, but CAPA allows for so much growth as a student and as person. Live your CAPA years to the fullest -- you'll miss them when they're gone.
To all of the teachers -- you all rock. If it wasn't for you there would be no program (obviously...), and that would make me sad. Thanks for everything.
Julie Sieron: Sieron:Musicalbutterfly05@twmi.rr.com

Congrads to the new thespian board! It's about time there was some girl power there, put your hearts into it and it'll be the best year yet! Way to go girls.

I will miss all of the seniors, terribly. Good Luck in all that you aspire to, and don't forget to drop me an email.
Love to all of you,

I just wanted to comment to say that I think your program is outstanding. I came to see Grease and I thought siera was spectacular as Marty. welllllllll good job all you capa students. moonshine..out.
Talia Moonshine: moonbabi@yahoo.com

I send my congratulations to all of CAPA students who were so involved this year in INTO THE WOODS, GREASE, BAD SEED, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, TARTUFFE, and MACBETH; and the JAZZ BLOWOUT, SONGBOOK, and SPRING CONCERT OF DANCE. This should capture all of CAPA students; and if it hasn't I encourage you to be more invested. The staff is struggling to ensure that you are all involved next year. I want to thank parents and students alike for their hard work this past year....we have had an amazing season.
Thank you all,
Ms. Mack - May 24, 2005

Congrats my diamonds. You got to where Tartuffe wanted to be. You gave it the spark, the immediacy, the life that it deserves. You also let whole audiences know how funny the French can be.
For Macbeth, Break a leg again, have a great closer, the season has been one heck of a ride, hasn't it?
Y'all do us and CAPA proud.
I'm proud of our whole company, you handled the demands of Rep. with the effort, dedication cooperation, and grace that I had hoped. It has been an ambitious challenge, and I think you all rose to the occasion beautifully. Y'all do us and CAPA proud. Einne Gutte Show for all, from Acting to Tech.
Love you all, Mr. B.

To the cast of Macbeth: What an amazing opening night. You all had so much energy and gave the audience a magnificent show. Keep up the good work, and break a leg on the rest of your performances.

To the cast of Tartuffe: WOW!!! See, this show is not Shakespeare, so I actually understand it. You did an amazing job delivering a hilarious show to the audience tonight. I laughed many times and enjoyed every aspect of the performance. Keep it up, guys!!!

To the crews of MacTuffe: You guys are, of course, BRILLIANT. GO TECHIES!!!

I just wanted to say thank-you for creating such an amazing website that really captures the heart of this exceptional program.

Hi! Just a former student from WAY BACK, from the very beginning years of CAPA. I graduated in '89, and I don't even know which teachers are still there--except Ms. Mack! I am so proud of what's been accomplished with the program in the 20 years it's been around! Well done! Oh, and in case you didn't know---it's much warmer in the west! GO WEST!!!!!!! Cheers!

First off to the cast, crew, designers, directors and anyone involved with Bad Seed you guy were awesome i had a great time watching it!! secondly i wish a good show to all in Streetcar, i'm sure it will be sweet!! and i just wanted to stop in a and say hi to all, even though you guys don't see me enough right? ha ha ha!! take care, break a leg and enjoy these years!!!!

*~huggles and kisses~*
Rahme: capa_techie22@yahoo.com

I think that we are doing amazing theatre, vocals, and dance. Just remember the discipline that we try to teach in CAPA: there is a purpose, a reason: to better the student, and to hone the skills that each individual displays.

Please come to see Streetcar Named Desire... the achievement level of these students is what CAPA excels to. Added to that is the Jazz Blowout....Music and dance beyond the high school level.

We have more to come, but get tickets for these two events...you will not regret it.

Bad Seed was FANTASTIC - let's make Streetcar even better!
Thanks to everyone who helped me construct the set - we all accomplished a lot together, and I love you all. Your help was indespensible.

STAGECRAFT IS COOL - YOU SHOULD TAKE STAGECRAFT

CAPA - March 2, 2005

I am teaching a small team of 8th graders who are all part of the arts...they have a class called FAME. It reminds me of CAPA, and what a fun group of people I knew back in the day... Ms. Mack, you are an angel for dealing with such creative and crazy kids all the time. Brava!
Amanda Fleming: amandaLynn3@hotmail.com

Congratulations to Mr. Bergsman's cast & crew of Bad Seed. You all did an amazing job of weaving a story that gripped the audience . We were waiting to see what would happen next...you could have heard a pin drop in the house. Yet, we had our moments of laughter (thanks Leroy!)and kept our eyes glued to the stage.

I can't believe this is Laurie's last CAPA production. These four years flew by! I know you kids did all the hard work of putting the shows together, and I want you to know how much I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of every show..and I'd like to Thank You all from the bottom of my heart!

Love to you all,

"Bad Seed" was a disturbing, chilling production - Very Well Done, Cast & Crew! This was an excellent example of what a CAPA production should be and you're selling out the house every night proved it! Thank you.

Cast and Crew of Bad Seed

you guys rock!!

Go techies!

I was at BAD SEED tonight, WOW you guys are sooooo good! All of you... To Laurie, I will miss seeing you in CAPA's plays. I know this is your last CAPA show. You are such a talent, now I will have to pay $$$ to see you on Broadway.

I just wanted to drop a line invite anyone who might be traveling to Chicago this summer, to catch a CAPA alum (me!) in Chicago Shakepeare's Romeo & Juliet on Navy Pier! This is one of the best Shakespeare theatre's in the USA so it would definitely be worth your while to check it out!

To All students and Parents and Staff of CAPA:
First, GREAT JOB IN GREASE....the audiences seem to love it, and I know that the cast and crews worked very diligently. Hats off to you!!!!
Second, Don't let rumors about the Black Box get out of hand. We are waiting to see what the District says, at the most positive: maybe we will get the facility we need; at the most negative: well, I am not ready to deal with that yet. Stay focused, and hope for the best!!!!!

Hey guys! Just wanted to say GREAT JOB on Grease I love it! To all the cast OMG perfect and to my crew I love you guys we did it! *lol* Well every one come see Streetcar because its going to be the best! it will so come see it or you will miss out on the best show ever!!!!!!!
Love Annie( the AD of Streetcar HEHEHEHE!!)

Ps. come see Bad Seed to its going to be good as well

Okay I'm going to try my best not to use any foul language in this post but it really makes me mad that LPS is trying to shut the Black Box down after 20 years of existence! For those of you who haven't heard yet I've talked to the custodians and apparently what happened is an LPS maintenance man who's son goes to Churchill walked into the Black Box and freaked out because of the fact that it was no longer a classroom. He in turn reported it to the head of maintenance for LPS (David Watson) and they both agreed that it was unacceptable. From what I've heard there will be a vote as to whether or not the Black Box should be renovated and brought up to code or simply shut down entirely. For anybody interested in contacting Mr. Watson regarding this issue his email is jyee@livonia.k12.mi.us CAPA will not go quietly!

Sincerely, Jack (From The Stage Crew)

Great job with Grease! It was fantastic. If I could see it again I definitely would! Good job guys and girls!

Words cannot begin to explain my feelings for the C.A.P.A. program at Churchill High School. What a great group of talented students that this school has been blessed with. I have had the honor of getting to know many of you personally, and have not been disappointed. What wonderful experiences my daughter had while being in this program. Never could I have imagined that with Nicole coming into this program as a dancer, that she would branch into acting, and singing also. We even learned how to take care of a special little pig named Salami, for the show Little Abner. What great memories. Remember to always believe in yourselves, for you are truly wonderful individuals. To Gail Mack, and Mary Murphy, thank-you for having such an impact on my daughters life. I love you both.
Teresa Cicala : PDC Dancemom@aol.com

I LOVE CAPA.. IT'S A GREAT FAMILY AND I LOVE THE MURPH!!...yay for all CAPA kids!!

Just wanted to thank all the CAPA staff that helped make our fist set of fundraising for PROCAPA a success. Our thanks also go out to Fire Station #2 in Westland and to Mr. Wright for the use of the fire hose! Thanks to all the students that gave up part of their Saturday to help out. Not to mention the parents that helped, along with those who needed cleaner cars. I think everyone had a great time. And thanks to all the entertainers at the CHS Craft Show. Hopefully we can get more for next year, it was very well received.

CONGRATULATIONS! To everyone who got into Into THE Woods. Sorry I'm not gonna be able to come and see it but I'm sure it's gonna be a great show. Don't forget to have fun and get lots of sleep lol love you all so much. miss you. HAVE A GREAT YEAR! Lots of love, Frances the one and only

South Carolina/Michigan - September 28, 2004

I love your website and am very jealous. I go to a wonderful high school that has a program similar to yours but we don't have the same funding. I'd love to go to Winston Churchill High but I am comfortable with Modesto High and our family here, plus I am a junior. I think that if I have children (later in life) I would defiantly send them to a Theater based school like Winston Churchill High.

Hey guys!!! Just wanna say Congrats to everyone that is in Into The Woods. CAPA really does help you prepare for college theatre programs. I got here and I was way ahead of all the theatre students in my class. It's kind of nice! And for those of you who don't get cast in many shows during CAPA don't worry! I just got cast in a Mainstage show here called "Days of Absence" where we'll be using Tadashi Suzuki (sp). Claire Walsh is also in it. I'm sorry to say that its the same week as Into the Woods though, so i won't be able to make it to see you all!!! Have a great show if I don't see you before!!!!!

I hope everyone's enjoying being back at school. And I hear Ms. Mack's surgery went well, thats great! I just want to let you guys know, that I'm missing all of you, and I can't wait to see you all on stage this year! Break a leg everyone! And enjoy!
Love, Delaney
P.S.~ Ms. Mack really is training you guys for out here, so pay attention! (ha,ha) No really, my one required book for Performance Acting (well besides Miller's "All My Sons") was Uta Hagen's "Respect for Acting." So life in CAPA, makes life outside of CAPA just a bit easier.
Delaney Coyne: dcoyne@oakland.edu

Hey guys! I hope your first day of school went well. I had my first day also, and I think I'm going to like it here at Roosevelt. The theater conservatory seems pretty intense, but I'm ready!

I ran across your website while browsing the other day. And I must say I was highly impressed with what I discovered. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that a program of this magnitude existed anywhere. Especially for high school age kids. If more programs like this existed throughout the country. Our young people would be so much better served. Thank you so much for caring about our children. Keep up the good work.

On Tuesday, July 20, we need a lot of help on the costumes and the black box/ voice box/ green room renovations. Parents and students alike. 12:00 noon, meet at the Black Box. Thanks.

ps. Many students state that this is their summer vacation, well it is also true for the faculty. We wish that we could just let it all go; but we want it ready for the fall. Last year so many were pleased with the changes in the Black Box, that only happened by hard work in the summer. Be a part of making it happen. Stay posted for future dates.

And thanks to everyone who has helped so far!!!!!

Ms Mack- July 16, 2004

I hope I get shoes next week. Boys shoes are fine too. I'll take anything. My Operation Shoe Drop is my part of Operation Shoe Fly, that is run by the troops. Help me out here!!!!!
I plan to box them all up next weekend. Thanks.

I really want girls shoes, from sizes 0 to 8 or 9 adult (for kids ages 0 to 14). Don't bring high heels or flashy shoes; sandals, boots, loafers, tennies....something that one could live with. The girls in Afghanistan have very little. They acquiesce to the boys and live barefoot much of the time. If you leave shoes for these girls at my house next week I will be certain to get them to Operation Shoe Drop. Have a kind heart, find shoes whether at resale shops, your own closet, or regular shoe stores......Call me if you have some. We can help.
Ps. I love you all!!!!!

The rest of you: look forward to a new year, we have a season that should satisfy everyone...get involved and enjoy all that is at your doorstep.
Like Dr. LeVine said: you can do it all: your faculty does; get excited; that is what makes life worth living....
I think of all of you all of the time. Have a safe summer, and bless you all.

I just wanted to congratulate Wendy and Eden for doing such a great job with the fundraiser!! It went off without a hitch!

I want to say THANK YOU to the students and the parents who do the "dirty work"; you are the ones truly committed to making CAPA the best it can be. You few who build the sets, sew the costumes, purchase and deliver the food and water, film, strike the sets and clean the aud when the show is over, and all the other jobs that too many think they are too good for. You are my stars! Without you the show does not go on! So here's to you, take a bow, a STANDING OVATION ... BRAVO!!!

You know, Wendy is correct...the Drake fundraiser will be much fun...and if you don't come, Eden will cry. Now, do you really want to be the person responsible for making Eden cry? Poor Eden who has worked her butt off to make this thing a reality? I didn't think so! So of course you will be there!
P.S. You would be wicked awesome if you signed up to HELP at the fundraiser! Sign up sheets are posted on the call board!

Directors and Actors in the Directors' Marathon~ Be proud! It went well today, basically without any hitches, we made a profit, and all in all it was a memorable day. Although I am sorry for my mean stage manager moments though. This is the first Marathon, and it will be remembered, for it went much more smoothly than most people anticipated. So this was something to be proud of! And now you are basically done, no more stress! Congradulations to everyone!

Hey any class of 98 folks! (and 97 and 99 too!) I hope you are all doing
well. It's so great to see pics and remember the "old days". I miss CAPA! It
was such a huge, awesome part of my life. I can't beleive we've been out for
6 years already (and getting married and having babies and all that "grown
up" stuff.) It seems like it was all just yesterday. I hope to hear from any
of you guys who see this - I would love to chat with any of the "old gang."
I miss you!!!

Hey all! I just wanted to say that I had a horrible spring break while all of you were away from me!!! HAHA! Oh, and audition for my director's one-act! It's fun! CIAO!

Hi back to all the 1999 grads. I just finished my student teaching, so I will be a H.S. or Middle school teacher very soon! Hope you are all doing well! CAPA, keep up the good work. I learned all my improv. skills I need for teaching from CAPA shows!

Hey Everyone! Little Shop is coming along great! It's gonna be great...but we do need A LOT of your help!!! We would greatly appreciate it if you could help with set construction. We will be @ CHS in the Aud. on Mon from 7 am-3 pm, Tues from 7 am-2:30 pm, Fri from 7 am-3 pm and the rest of the week is TBA. If you can come, that would be GREAT!!! If you have any questions, drop me an e-mail (capazmud@earthlink.net).

Also, on Friday, Audrey II will be delivered (courtesy Mr. Rayes). She is VERY VERY VERY heavy, we are told, therefore we will need LOTS of help getting her off of the truck. She will arrive between 8 & 8:30 AM. Just show up if you can!

P.S. You will get service points for any help you give!

Thanks,

I found this page while by typing my name into Google. So, Mallory, to answer your question I'm majoring in Computer Science at EMU and still living in Livonia. What are you up to sport?

WOW! First off *waves* Hi Ms. Mack and hi to all the class of '99 guys who are running around here. :) I am so glad that I have the net at work and decided to see if CAPA had a website... call it a curiosity of sorts to visit the past. I can't believe that we've been out of h.s for almost 5 years now... how time has flown by. I'm glad to see that CAPA is still running strong. I hear all you present CAPA members are getting wonderful reviews in the paper... which is great! I loved looking at all the pictures from the old days(can't believe I can call it that now... gezze)and remembering all the fun times we had rehearsing for plays and one-acts, and who can forget building the sets. This site is definitely going on my favoites list.. to the present CAPA crew.. keep up the good work, and to the oldschool friends I hope everybody is well... I miss you all! :)

I just got done reading the section about Ron. His poem was amazing and the story of his time at the play was so interesting. I hate myself. I knew I should have seen "A Piece of My Heart"
