Tri-School Theatre honored at the JRAY Awards Ceremony
Tri-School Theatre's production of Thoroughly Modern Millie picked up 3 awards at JRAY Awards Ceremony. Honorees included Brandon Berg (SCMA class of 2006) who was the Silver Medal Winner for Male Soloist.
This program gives out very few awards, so these are a great honor. This is the first year for this program, and 22 schools from 3 counties participated.
The awards are named after John Raitt, a performer from Fullerton who went on to achieve great success in musical theatre on Broadway starring in such shows as Oklahoma, Carousel, and The Pajama Game. The JRAYs are sponsored by Fullerton Civic Light Opera and held at Plummer Auditorium. Congratulations, Brandon!
SCMA alumnus, Chris Prelitz (class of 1970) has had his first book published! Green Made Easy: The Everyday Guide to Transitioning to a Green Lifestyle
In Green Made Easy, author and green pioneer Chris Prelitz shares how to be both environmental and economical at the same time. Going green is not only good for our planet, it’s good for your pocketbook. For over 20 years, Chris has been helping businesses, home owners, and corporations lower their monthly expenses by going green. Chris and his wife, Becky, share a green solar-powered home in Laguna Beach, California, which Chris designed and built. Most months they produce more power than they use and receive a credit from their power company instead of a bill!
In this book, Chris shares personal experiences, lessons learned, and reflections that humorously touch the heart and inspire the spirit. The chapter “Busting Green Myths” will sway even the most cynical person toward better eco-choices that will also save money. Chris says, “We’re rediscovering that it’s so much healthier, more lucrative, and better for every living thing to transition away from wasteful, polluting technologies and make choices that work in harmony with nature.”
Green Made Easy is written in a friend-to-friend, conversational style and examines our daily lives from personal care and cosmetics to solar-energy systems. This book will delight and inspire any and all who dream of making a difference and wish to create a thriving, healthy future for generations to come.
"When I read Green Made Easy, it changed the way I look at the planet and I hope it does the same for you. As we work our way through today’s economic challenges, Chris can also show you how going green is both good for our planet and good for your pocketbook. His book is packed with information that makes going green simple, inexpensive and meaningful. Chris sprinkles “Green Bites” throughout that are both inspiring and enjoyable.
Remember, this comes from a man who receives a credit from his utility company every month instead of a bill!" – Christiane Northrup, M.D.
