COMING SOON . . .
Rodger's and Hammerstein's
Cinderella
Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella
is a musical in two acts with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, II and a new book by Douglas Carter Beane based partly on Hammerstein's 1957 book. The story is based upon the fairy tale, Cinderella, particularly the French version Cendrillon, ou la Petite Pantoufle de Verre, by Charles Perrault. The story concerns a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella is transformed into an elegant young lady and is able to attend the ball to meet her Prince, but, in this version, she must open the Prince's eyes to the injustice in his kingdom.
Rodgers and Hammerstein originally wrote the songs for a 1957 television broadcast starring Julie Andrews, and it was remade twice for television and adapted for the stage in various versions prior to the Broadway production. The 2013 adaptation was the first version of Cinderella with the Rodgers and Hammerstein score mounted on Broadway. The new book by Beane introduces several new characters and a sympathetic stepsister, and the score features several new Rodgers and Hammerstein songs. The production originally starred Laura Osnes in the title role and Santino Fontana as the Prince and ran for 770 performances. It was nominated for nine Tony Awards, winning one, for best costumes.

The 2nd Annual Bra Project of the Lowcountry
Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness
In conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, several Savannah Arts Academy fashion students are participating in the Second Annual Bra Project of the Lowcountry. Sponsored by Pinnacle Plastic Surgery to benefit local breast cancer survivors, the goal of the project is to raise awareness about breast cancer and women's options for reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy. Pinnacle Plastic Surgery is raising money for courageous breast cancer survivors throughout Savannah, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island and Beaufort.
The Bra Project features a traveling exhibit of the one-of-a-kind bras created by students from Bluffton High School, Hilton Head High School and Savannah Arts Academy. You can view the bras, vote for your favorite or donate to the project at Pinnacle Plastic Surgery's unveiling event on September 24th or at one of the businesses listed below during the month of October.
Michaela Plotner was last year's inaugural winner.

Choral Booster Club
The SAA music teachers have met and identified an innovative way to offer parents in all specialties the opportunity to serve their hours at any performance. By volunteering, you give music parents the opportunity to enjoy their child's concert, offer your service and precious time to the school and prompt enjoyment of your child's art.
We are very excited to share with you a new tool to aid parents in setting up their volunteer hours to coincide with the needs of the music department.
