SENIOR PARENTS, Don’t Forget to RSVP for These Events Each spring, Home & School coordinates a number of special events for our senior families. These SBA traditions are a cherished part of our seniors’ final semester in high school—and it’s Home & School’s honor to make them happen. So far this year, we’ve hosted a great dinner for senior boys and their mothers, along with a fun dance for senior girls and their dads. Coming up April 22, Home & School will host the last two senior events for this school year: the Mother & Daughter Tea and the Father & Bowling Bash. E-vites for both events were sent to families recently, with the RSVP deadlines for both coming up in the next two weeks. The Mother & Daughter Tea will take place on Sunday, April 22 from 2-4 p.m. at Memphis Botanic Garden in Hardin Hall. Attendees will enjoy delicious tea treats, prizes for the best hat and “mother-daughter look-alike” contest, as well as a brief talk from a special guest. Holland Studios will also be on hand to capture the memories. Tickets are $35 per person. Please visit the Mother & Daughter Tea event page to RSVP by Monday, April 16: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sba-2018-mother-daughter-tea-tickets-44623155058 The Father & Son Bowling Bash happens Sunday, April 22 from 1-3 p.m. at Andy B’s in Bartlett.

Edward Bloom has lived a full and fantastical life, populated by witches, giants, and mermaids, marked by true love that stops time in its tracks, and framed by heroics that push the limits of believability. His adult son, Will, is no longer amused by his father’s fantastical tales, insisting on a rational rather than a fantastical account of one’s life. When Edward’s health declines, and Will learns that he and his wife, Josephine, will have a son of their own, Will decides to find out his father’s “true” life story, once and for all. Big Fish is a heartfelt, powerful, and truly magical musical about fathers, sons, and the stories that we use to define our identities. With exciting and beautiful music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, and a funny, heartwarming book by John August, Big Fish is a magnificent “big fish” of a tale, itself -- spectacular, fantastical, and overflowing with love. (StageAgent.com) Big Fish showcases the wonderful talents of Aris Federman (Ed), Marc Anthony Marconi/Joseph Zazarra (Will), Somer Smith/Sarah Hovanec (Sandra), Alyssa Williams/Zoe Nunn (Jenny Hill), Teryco Bolden/Josh Hamann (Karl), Zach Crawford/Andrew Barczak (Amos), Karen Benedict/Erin Bargiachi (Jospehine), and the fantastic Ensemble: Colin Zazarra, Zandar Card, Sydnei Sutton, Hayes Golightly, Jacob Kersting, Heather Mize, Brianna Jones, Meredith Brown, Breeana Shelton, Lauren Haygood, LaResha Gregory, Christina Rochette, Rachel Hosp, Emma Van Eps, Penny Rosenberg, Alex Miller, Sarah Mercer, Adam Brigance, Maya Keith, Drew Jones, Lance Jamais, Patrick Flynn, Carlo Casama, Jessica Foster, Emma Twele, Lucy Garry, Emylee Enright, Tori Capadona, Mary Huddleston, Abby Simpson, Lily Hogan, Zoie Couch, Molly McDonald, Cheyenne Sanders, Sarah Montgomery, and Alexa Pangonas.
