1st TRaC Meet this Thursday!

Hi everyone,

Your director here. I'm happy to welcome you to the High 5's Teen Reviewers and Critics program! We're very excited to have such a dynamic group from all corners of New York and New Jersey. (We've even got Staten Island!) So, be proud.

Before we even get into your particular class schedules (for theatre trac, dance trac, etc.), first we must all come together and....well...eat pizza. How better to all meet for the first time??

The kick-off of the Fall TRaC programs is the TRaC Meet. Makes sense, eh? The TRaC Meet is this Thursday, October 11th, from 5:15 until about 7:15 at High 5 Headquarters. For those of you who made it to a TRaC Open House, it is in the same theater at the back of the lobby. For those of you who have never been to High 5 HQ, I've included a google map for your viewing pleasure:

High 5 HQ is located at 1 East 53rd Street, between 5th Ave and Madison Ave. I've provided a few resources in the "Getting Around NYC" column on the right to help those of you not used to traveling in the city. Hopstop.com is a great tool to figure out what subways you should take! Just click the link here or in the right column, enter the address you are starting from (in the city) and put in the High 5 HQ address, and it will give you detailed directions for walking and for the subway transfers you will take. This is THE TOOL to use when you are figuring out how to get to the outings!

by train:
High 5 HQ is closest to the 5th Avenue stop on the F and E trains; and closest to the 51st Street stop on the 6 train, if you're coming from the eastside.

If you need any other help, feel free to email me (eost@high5tix.org) or give me a call (212-750-0555 ext.208). Put that number in your cell phones! Just in case. Someone always need it. :)

So!
The TRaC Meet will be your chance to meet EVERYONE involved in TRaC this fall. We'll also talk about bit more about the programs and watch three short films (5 min shorts) by Jan Švankmajer and talk about them. You'll also meet your instructors, the new High 5 Executive Director and a very special guest!

For those of you starting Theatre TRaC (link to Theatre TRaC blog, still under construction!) and Dance TRaC this Friday, I will follow up tomorrow with directions to your first class. Note: Theatre TRaC, there is a show immediately following your first class, just so you know!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday.
And once again, welcome to TRaC!
I hope you have a great fall.

best, eric
