New 33rds

Tim Joliff and Tim Betts are off this weekend to Cleveland to be coordinated as 33rds.  It is quite and honor for the Valley and of course for them. They are both very deserving of this prestigious degree.  I hope that you all will congratulate them when you see them.  Or put a card in the mail for them.  If you need an address, contact me and I will give it to you.

New 6th Degree DVD

Brothers from the Valley of Canton have been given a project by Supreme Council to produce a movie of the 6th Degree – Master of the Brazen Serpent.  Leading the Production as Executive Producer is Bro. Steve Warren who is Executive Producer of Sport Time Ohio and has numerous national awards for his work.  He has put a team of professional award winning videographers, Digital graphic Artists, and Cast Director to ensure we produce a professional presentation of the degree.

 

In order to cast for this degree, we have chosen to try and give opportunities to Valley membership within the State to take part in the degree.

 

The schedule of events includes auditions Sept 8th in Mansfield and Sept 15th at the Valley of Canton.  A cast is to be determined by the end of September.

Rehearsals are to be determined once a cast is chosen to work with the casts commitments.

Filming will be in a Cleveland studio November 16-18 for Scene 2 and in the Valley of Canton for Scene 1 Dec 15-16.

 

Please communicate to your brethren that these are open auditions. 

Please ensure you send this particularly to the cast of the 6th from your Valley and those that you feel have the talent to make this production one Ohio and the NMJ can be proud of.  An Audition Form is attached and can be found on the Valley of Canton Website at www.cantonscottishrite.com .  Have the brothers complete the form and email it to auditions@cantonscottishrite.com or contact me at the phone below so I can gather the information.

 

We are also asking for your help for some props for the 6th Degree.  We are looking to find the Serpent Staff, a Large Rock (or how you present the people hiding), and the Tent.  We are also looking to utilize existing costuming/robes that your Valley could loan us for the production.
