This past season, we also produced shows in the Town of Chapel Hill's Teen Center and <br /> the Community Ch,..ieh of Chapel Hill Unitarian Universalist. Unfortunately, one of One Song's <br /> most commonly used perfa mance spaces, the Common Ground Theater in Durham, closed this <br /> past winter. We will therefore transition to other spaces, most often the Cairboro ArisCenter, <br /> which has housed many productions in the past. <br /> Activities <br /> Each year, One on produces at least three fall-length productions directed by high <br /> school students. One Song further provides technical students with opportunities to be creative. <br /> and branch out without the confines of a school tech department. All design and construction is <br /> headed by students, giving them the chance to apply technical knowledge they may have learned <br /> elsewhere and take on full leadership positions usually regulated by school staff members, <br /> thereby offering a glimpse at what it may be like to work professionally in the field of technical, <br /> theatre., <br /> The three main season shows are proposed and chosen in early August, so currently those <br /> titles arc undecided. For these shows, board member(s) serve as the directors and local student <br /> artists participate as actors or technicians. <br /> In addition to opportunities provided by shows, One Song also provides these students <br /> who Join the Board of Directors with business and production experience. Board members see <br /> and experience the elements of running a theatrical production company, They set budgets, <br /> handle finances,write grant proposals, find and book rehearsal and performance spaces, and <br /> maintain legal documents. <br /> Participants <br /> For each of One Songs productions, all area high school students can audition for an <br /> acting role or volunteer to work a technical role,. Students audition for our plays throughout the <br /> year.This year especially, spearheaded by one of our new board me,mbers, we are striving to <br /> expand the diversity of One Song participants to include a more varied array of race,gender, <br /> orientation, and socioeconomic background. <br /> Because, all One Song participants are high se:hooters, those who choose to partake are <br /> not compensated monetarily One Song operates thanks,. to the dedication of volunteers, be they <br /> Board members, actors, or technicians. <br /> FithlictOr <br /> For every One Song production and event there is a bard member that conducts <br /> publicity, mainly through social media and the 0..he Song website, Not only are functions like <br /> auditions, open mics, and performances advertised through social media like Facebook and <br /> Instagram„ but they are also promoted through Wayne Leonard's radio show Lights Up!and local <br />
