Day Off #2

 Day Off #2

Blogger: Eitan Skolnick


Today we had another day off from performing and we started the day with a guided tour of the Edinburgh Castle. We saw sights such as the one o' clock cannon, the oldest standing building in Scotland, St. Margaret's chapel, and the Scottish Crown Jewels, which are the oldest in-tact set of crown jewels. 

From there we went to a performance of Finding Nemo Jr. done by another youth theatre company.  Next,  we went to a production of Almost, Maine which was performed by Boonsboro High School which is not too far from our school!  The format of the show had multiple different story lines that are interconnected which made for an entertaining show. 

We then went to see Showstopper the Improvised Musical again! We loved the show so much the first time we went back and had a great time. This time they improvised an entire musical about what happens when legos get lost. We ended the day with grabbing some dinner and promoting our show in the streets so we can get ready for our 4th performance tomorrow!

Bullis School Theatre Brings “Pandora: A Tragicomic Greek Romp” to Edinburgh Fringe – August 2025

Boy Meets Girl. Girl Has a Box That Could Destroy the World. POTOMAC, MD, USA — Myth, comedy, and catastrophe collide in Pandora: A Tragicomic Greek Romp , a fresh, fast-paced retelling of the Pandora myth that asks: What happens when curiosity meets chaos?   Originally a 2011 Capital Fringe Festival hit, Pandora returns in 2025 with a brand-new cast from Potomac, Maryland’s Bullis School for a six-show run at the iconic Edinburgh Festival Fringe —the largest performing arts festival in the world. The production will be staged at Paradise Green (Vault Venue) from August 2–9, 2025 . Written by acclaimed sibling duo Shawn and Ann Fraistat , Pandora unleashes a whirlwind of gods, monsters, love, betrayal, and one dangerously irresistible box. This madcap reimagining is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, offering a modern take on ancient tragedy that’s as uncomfortably human as it is sharply comedic. “It’s a comedy with teeth,” says director Chelsie King. “We want the audien...

3rd Show Day & Day Off!

 Our 3rd Show Day & Day Off Blogger: Sebby Schroth & Abe Gold From Sebby : Our 3rd show day! We woke up knowing it would be a windy and cold day, so we made sure to bundle up before we headed to our venue. However, just before the show, we continued our promotional shenanigans! Eitan dressed in his Demogorgon costume chased us down the street as we yelled for help and for people to come see our show to help save us! Although we got many strange looks, we absolutely believed it helped us get a few more people to our show that day. Following running down the streets, we had another great show, accompanied by an audience member who definitely enjoyed our comedy. We heard laughter coming from him the entire show!  Later in the day, we attended another high school's performance of Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, which was 30 plays in 60 minutes. The audience was encouraged to yell out numbers that corresponded to a play from a "menu" we were given before the sh...
