If you can't make the Tribute for Gensler and you'd like to have been there, consider sending a message to be included in a video that will be played during the performance.

Don't overthink it, just do it! We've made it easier to send a greeting to Mrs. Gensler...just grab your smartphone, make a quick video, and email it directly to alum Mark Augustine at mark@postmark.tv. 10 seconds is fine, even 2 seconds makes an impact, 1 minute is max. Deadline extended to July 3. Let's show her some love!

Call for Your Creative Individual Photos and Videos for Tribute!

Deadline June 30!

SHS Theater Alumni and all messages for Barbara Gensler – Show Us Your Stuff! Grab your video camera, camera phone, camera and/or scanner! We need your videos and images to air during the Barbara Gensler Tribute Show. DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS JUNE 30. Make sure you read the instructions below first…

Videos
• Max 1 minute long (Want an exception? Email Susan Knudten at susan@susanknudten.com and make your case.)
• Content ideas: record a short tribute, show what you're up to now, just say thanks! Been in a post-HS show, film, TV show or commercial? Send in a short clip!
• Short is good. We’ll combine quick ones like this: “Hi Mrs. G! I’m ___ from Class of __. Thanks for everything!” So grab a smartphone and record it now.
• If you are making a smartphone video, please be sure to hold the phone horizontally, like a TV.
• These video file formats are all OK: mov .mp4 .m4v .avi .wmv.
• More sophisticated? Output your movie in h.264, you fancypants.
• Questions? Email Mark Augustine at mark@postmark.tv.

Images
• These will be projected on a large screen so higher-resolution is good.
• Ideas: old program covers, photos from shows, photos of you performing post-HS, anything fun/funny/interesting related to your SHS Drama days or that Mrs. Gensler might like to see. Maybe it’s you and your family holding a sign that says, “Thanks!” Or a shot of you teaching, public-speaking, or leading a conga line. Go ahead and get creative!
