Welcome dear friends. (00:02):

SPEAKER2: Today we are at the Oregon High School Performing Arts Center to get a behind the scenes look at the upcoming production of Disney's The Little Mermaid. (00:03):
undefined
Today, we're talking with the director, Marsha Heuer, and some of the cast members.
SPEAKER3: Welcome to this episode of Inside the OSD podcast, where it's all about the kids. (00:20):
undefined
Here is your host, lifelong educator, and our superintendent, doctor Leslie Bergstrom.
SPEAKER4: We're here at the Performing Arts Center, and the cast is buzzing and music is in the air. (00:34):
undefined
So let's start with our director. Could you start by introducing yourself and telling us a little bit about your role at OHS and with this production?
SPEAKER5: Sure. My name is Marsha Heuer. Um, this is my third year at OHS as a social studies teacher. (00:47):
undefined
Um, so I teach AP World history and I teach the history of race and ethnicity, and I also teach AVID this year.
I'm the AVID freshman teacher. Um, but I've been helping with the musical and the play for the past three years.
I have a background in doing that at my previous schools as well, and so it's been great working with,
(01:11):
with Mike Ducett and, and Jennifer Yancey.
But this year I'm the director and choreographer of Disney's The Little Mermaid.
SPEAKER4: So how was The Little Mermaid selected as this year's musical production? (01:17):
undefined
SPEAKER5: So, because I was going to be the director this year, I was able to bring the three shows that I thought were going to be the best (01:22):
undefined
fit. Um, and one of my criteria this year was to do something that we had never done.
And because Disney had not been touched here yet and actually, I've never directed a Disney show,
I thought, this--
SPEAKER4: It's first for (01:39):
undefined
SPEAKER5: you too! So it's exciting because there's so many opportunities. (01:39):
undefined
I knew there was going to be a lot of technical challenges, yes, but there's also so many female roles and roles that could be gender
--regardless, it doesn't matter who is playing--gender neutral.
It's just--it's perfect. And you know, we have so many talented students here.
And I just wanted to make sure that we had a show that could really highlight them all.
SPEAKER4: Oh, I love that. So this is truly a student production. (02:00):
undefined
So talk about how many students are involved.
What types of roles, especially those that are in addition to being on stage?
SPEAKER5: Absolutely. We have well over 100 students involved in this show from high school, (02:11):
undefined
which is incredible. That is. Yeah. So we have over 60 in the cast.
I don't know if it's 20 to 30 in tech because some, you know, are helping for the entire production,
some are just helping for leading up to it.
And then over 20 in the pit orchestra as well.
So it's it's really a very, very student heavy show.
SPEAKER4: Oh, that is so great because these it's a memory maker for our students. (02:32):
undefined
Right.
SPEAKER5: Absolutely. (02:36):
undefined
SPEAKER4: So many are familiar with The Little Mermaid because it's a Disney favorite. (02:37):
undefined
What is special about this rendition of the story that our students are preparing?
SPEAKER5: Yeah. So Disney made this into a musical. (02:45):
undefined
So it is still Disney's The Little Mermaid.
And yet there's so many new songs that are not in the original movie that were added because the because the original movie really just focuses on Ariel's
journey. Right? Um, and this brings in other characters as well.
So her sisters have a much bigger role. The sisters have an entire song.
(03:05):
Um, and of course, all the other characters.
And so there's just a lot of fun, new kind of surprises that I think the audience is going to find.
If they're familiar with the movie, they're going to know how it ends, they're going to know the whole storyline. But there's something so special
about seeing it live on stage, of course, especially because we've had to become really creative in how we use our
students and how to make the magic happen.
(03:28):
So something I'm really excited about is I created this, this water ensemble with eight dancers that are just gorgeous,
and they truly make the magic happen during a lot of the scenes.
And I know that with the lighting and everything else going together, it's just going to be it's going to be just gorgeous.
SPEAKER4: I can't wait to see this. All right, so let's talk about logistics. (03:47):
undefined
When are the performances and how can families and community members get tickets?
SPEAKER5: Sure. So this year we actually have added a fourth performance. (03:55):
undefined
We are opening on Thursday, February 20th.
So we have a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, the 20th, 21st and 22nd, and then a Sunday matinee.
Now the Saturday nights, we've actually changed the times as well because this is a family friendly all ages show.
So we are starting at 7 p.m. so that the show will end just after 9:00.
(04:19):
And it's a little bit later after bedtime, but
SPEAKER4: some kids can still get home to bed. Yeah, that's a great idea. (04:21):
undefined
SPEAKER5: Absolutely. So it's--we have four shows. (04:24):
undefined
They can go to the performing arts center, um, site online and to reserve tickets,
or they can come to the show. But I have a feeling this is going to probably sell out.
So I would recommend people trying to get tickets early or getting here early.
That's why we've added a fourth show, because we know there's just going to be so many people that want to see it. And they should.
SPEAKER4: They should. This is so exciting. Thank you. (04:44):
undefined
And now we're going to turn to our students.
We'll start with introductions. Please share your name, year in school and your role in the musical.
SPEAKER6: Hi, my name is Kaj'mir Booker. I'm a freshman and I am Sebastian in the musical. (04:54):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Thank you. (05:00):
undefined
SPEAKER7: I'm Erica Briski. I'm a senior and I play Ariel. (05:01):
undefined
SPEAKER8: I'm Beau Jacobs. I am a junior, and I play Prince Eric. (05:04):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Thank you, you guys. So tell us about rehearsals and how they've been going so far. (05:08):
undefined
SPEAKER6: Rehearsals have been going good. We're now into the dress rehearsal stage, so that means makeup and costumes and actually getting mics. (05:12):
undefined
And we already have the pit orchestra as well, so it's going really well, including props.
So everyone's really excited too.
SPEAKER4: I bet. I hear the costumes are pretty magnificent. (05:28):
undefined
SPEAKER6: They really are. (05:30):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Erica? (05:31):
undefined
SPEAKER7: Yeah, I feel like everything's finally coming together, like you said. Like today we're doing dress rehearsals, so we'll be in our (05:32):
undefined
costumes, and you have to worry about, um, like, planning out your costume changes and,
like, how much time you have, which is always fun, in my opinion. But it's kind of chaotic, but it's fun at the same time.
SPEAKER4: How fast can you change a costume? (05:47):
undefined
SPEAKER7: It depends, it depends. I feel like for me, I know one of them is like, maybe like 30 seconds. (05:49):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Oh my goodness, that is really fast! (05:56):
undefined
SPEAKER7: Unless they change that. But we'll see. (05:58):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Okay. (05:59):
undefined
SPEAKER7: That's what's tonight's for. (05:59):
undefined
SPEAKER4: How about you, Beau? What can you add? (06:01):
undefined
SPEAKER8: Uh, I think us having mics now will really, like, finalize, like us with music, (06:03):
undefined
because it's like we haven't had mics and with, like, the loud pit orchestra, we can't really
SPEAKER4: That'll feel so different--and like. (06:16):
undefined
SPEAKER8: But I think now I think it'll all click and be good. (06:19):
undefined
Yeah.
SPEAKER4: All right, I like it. So then the next is what's been a highlight of your experience? (06:23):
undefined
And I'll start with you. What do you think?
SPEAKER8: Okay. Um, I think honestly, like being prepared. (06:31):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Like knowing how important it is to be prepared. (06:38):
undefined
SPEAKER8: Yeah. Like, I think compared to last year, I know, I'm like, I was fully memorized, (06:41):
undefined
like, a week and a and a half ago. Wow. And I know during Big Fish I was not, like,
memorized like, that well, until tech week.
Okay. Which is the week that we're in right now.
(07:02):
Got it. Yeah.
SPEAKER4: How about you, Erica? (07:04):
undefined
SPEAKER7: Um, I guess just like having it. Um, like, it's my senior year, so getting to perform with all of my friends is fun. (07:05):
undefined
And it's kind of like we're the group that the underclassmen look up to.
And, I don't know, it's like a kid friendly musical.
And it kind of like, circles around back to my childhood.
So it's fun.
SPEAKER4: Sure does. What are you thinking of? (07:23):
undefined
SPEAKER6: Hanging out with all my friends. Since most of my friends are in the musical today, (07:25):
undefined
and we've all just been talking about different parts of it, so it's really nice to hang out with people and also meet other people that you
really see around school.
SPEAKER4: Oh yeah. Now let's--let's go with that. So you're a freshman. (07:37):
undefined
This is your first year at an OHS musical.
So what made you decide to join the musical your very first year?
And what would you say to other people who are thinking maybe they have an interest too?
SPEAKER6: I joined it because I was tech for Macbeth, and I've always just had like an interest in musicals. (07:52):
undefined
So that's why I joined. And also a couple of my other friends were joining.
And for advice I say, just do it. It's not.
It's easier said than done, but like if you have an interest in it, I would suggest doing it.
Even if it's just like a "well, I'm new to this thing." Or if you don't like, want to be on stage,
(08:14):
but you want to be involved in theater, tech is a really good place to do since they have multiple jobs for people to
join.
SPEAKER4: And now look at you. So it's your first OHS musical and you've got a pretty significant role. (08:21):
undefined
Yes. Right. Sebastian is pretty significant.
So this was a big jump. That's exciting.
SPEAKER6: Yeah, it definitely is really exciting. (08:31):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Yeah, I bet you're going to have people in the audience cheering for you. (08:32):
undefined
It'll be good. All right Erica. So now as you mentioned, you've done this several times.
It's senior year. How does it feel to have this be your last show?
SPEAKER7: I mean, I don't know. It's definitely sad. (08:49):
undefined
This is like one of the main things I look forward to, like at school and with my friends.
So it's kind of like bittersweet because yeah, you get to do it and it's fun, but like,
it all comes to an end.
SPEAKER4: But what about next year? Do you plan to keep continuing with performance? (09:00):
undefined
SPEAKER7: Um, I'm planning on going to UW Madison and majoring in biochemistry and following like a pre-med track, (09:06):
undefined
but I think I'm going to for sure not, like, give this away and give it up.
I'm going to try to like, join different clubs or like community theaters and stuff like that.
So.
SPEAKER4: Oh that's fantastic. So finally, what's special about this show and why should our listeners and community members get tickets? (09:19):
undefined
There's anybody--jump right in.
SPEAKER7: I mean, it's a--it's a family friendly show. (09:32):
undefined
So everybody of all ages will definitely enjoy it.
And there's also so many different people from different backgrounds and perspectives involved that It really encapsulates so many different just ways of
putting a musical together. Yeah.
SPEAKER8: And the set. The set is really I mean--when (09:49):
undefined
SPEAKER4: I saw it, it was (09:53):
undefined
SPEAKER7: beautiful. (09:53):
undefined
SPEAKER4: Yeah. (09:55):
undefined
SPEAKER8: And the vocals, like, you'll enjoy hearing it. (09:56):
undefined
Like.
SPEAKER4: I'm sure I will, because you did kind of a sneak preview for staff at the Back to School event, (10:01):
undefined
right? So we get them excited about Little Mermaid in August, actually.
So I bet a lot of them will be, um, purchasing tickets.
What would you like to add?
SPEAKER6: Is truly like a fun for all ages from like kids to especially people who are like specialized in like lights or just in theater performance. (10:19):
undefined
You'll see all the little details actors will put in, or even all the details from props and light designs to is like,
truly amazing.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
