The Drama Department's One Acts closed to big audience reviews and attendance. This reviewer felt it was one of the finest ever delivered on stage at G-Star. Over 80 students took part in the four one-act productions. Next up are the Individual Events. Kudos to Ms. Biegler, Mr. Edgecomb, Ms. Gangeloff, Mr. Olsen and Mr. Sherman. You are the Best!
X-Scream Halloween also ended its run with record crowds and profits (it is a big fundraiser for the school). It was the best run X-Scream ever. Congratulations to George Colavecchio and his incredible mass (not group, but an entire mass) of students who put X-Scream on. You did a fabulous job! George and the gang have already mapped out next year's X-Scream theme and he says it will be bigger and better than ever.
The Film, Animation and Acting for Film Departments turn out hundreds of films each year. There are so many, G-Star has its own Film Festival titled "G-Shorts". In addition, each year together they produce one major feature film for this school that is written, directed, produced by and starring G-Star students with Mr. DeCarmine and Mr. Fornari as Executive Producers on this production. Each crew member has to audition for their position just as the actors do. They must present a portfolio of work and prove they are the best in the school to take on their crew position. The competition is intense to say the least. Production on this year's feature film has begun. It will have its world premiere before the end of the school year. This is G-Star's Oscar night each year.
500 STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS VISIT G-STAR!
Student Awareness Day comes to G-Star on November 15th. Five hundred students from area Palm Beach County high schools will meet in the G-Star Studios Sound Stage 1 to be the audience for the Palm Beach County Holocaust Documentation and Education Center’s presentation on the Holocaust.
The Holocaust Documentation and Education Center seeks to combat prejudice in our multicultural, ethnically diversified community by educating students and alerting them to the dangers of prejudice.
Student Awareness Days are prejudice reduction symposia whereby 250 to 750 high school students at each program learn the dangers of racism, hatred, and bigotry through videos, lectures, and round-table discussions with Survivors of the Holocaust.
This unique program educates future generations about the
dangers of hatred, terror, and the threats against our democratic values and
freedoms. By relating to the tragic, personal stories of Holocaust Survivors,
students begin to understand that no one is immune to the evil and
discrimination bestowed upon them by others.
Through Student Awareness Days, the Center encourages these students to learn to take a stand and become more vigilant and aware in their daily lives. They are taught the importance of standing up, speaking out, and making a difference. Above all, our goal is for all students to realize that targeting one group targets all.
