NOTICES
We hope that you all enjoyed your Spring Break Vacation. We know we did. :)
Just a couple of reminders to look for in the next few Newsletters.
1.) The Mother's Day Recital is coming up on May 6th, sign up soon before it fills up!
2.) MONDAY MAY 9th, FALL SEMESTER 2011 PRE-REGISTRATION STARTS!
This is a first come first serve process to reserve your times, days and teachers for Fall Semester. There is a $50 non-refundable deposit (which will be applied toward your tuition in the Fall), to reserve these times. They are not guaranteed, but we will work with your requests as much as we can. Forte will open at Noon that day to begin Fall Pre-Registration.
3.) HONORS RECITAL AUDITIONS - SATURDAY MAY 21st - 2:00pm
Each year at the end of Spring Semester we have our annual Forte Music School Faculty and Student Honors Recital. Unlike our standard recitals, this one is auditioned and we select the top 15 students in 3 age categories. If you have a fun and exciting piece that you want to show off, there's no harm in giving the audition a try! However, NOW is the best time to discuss this with your teacher. That way you have plenty of time to perfect your piece. The Honors Recital is on Saturday June 4th at 7:00pm. It will be held at Oak Hills Church (you can find a map on our website). Talk to your teacher now to help you get prepared for the audition.

HOW I BECAME A PIRATE
When you’re a pirate, you don’t have to eat vegetables or go to bed at all. You can talk rough, and sword fight, and say “Arrrgh!” any time you want. It’s a perfect life…except that there is no one to tuck you in at night, or give you kisses, or read stories to you. What’s a pirate to do? Find out as you set sail on a musical adventure! Avast me hearties, only a bilge rat or scurvy dog would miss this peg-tapping show. Best for all ages!
Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm and 5pm
Winningstad Theatre
600 SW 10th, Suite 313

BUST
Written by and starring Lauren Weedman
Directed by Allison Narver
April 26 through June 19
Comedian, writer, and former Daily Show faux correspondent Lauren Weedman has transformed her experience straddling the line between jail and Hollyweird into a hilariously poignant one-woman show. BUST was a smash hit in Seattle several years ago at The Empty Space; this fresh version of the show will mark Weedman’s professional premier in Portland.
