So You Think You Can Dance

Rocket talks a lot about this past weekend, for example ATC presenting the first annual So You Think You Can Dance competition at the high school. Helping with lights for the show, Rocket saw a rehearsal and a final performance so there was a lot of dancing to talk about. As for performances, this weekend Rocket had a rehearsal for a nationwide staged reading of It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis which will be performed for free on Oct 24 at the Yolo Library. These readings are organized by the Berkeley Repertory theatre to make a deep historical parallel between 2016 and 1936. The story follows one family's expereiences as the US descends into fascism. On a contrary not, the DHS Young Democrats club is now active, if interested they meet Fridays at lunch in N-4. Rocket talks a little bit abut the PSAT expereience and this show has some reading. This show kicks off with a jam off an upcoming album, "Scars" off Lifelines by I Prevail which reminds Rocket of the scars on cotton-picking slaves' hands and this leads him to mentioning Huck Finn. The second song is "Mediocre Shakespeare" by Being As An Ocean to signify Acme Theatre's recend play reading of Twelfth Night. The last song on this show is "A Little Uncanny" by Conor Oberst off his new album Ruminations
