Grease is the Word in Sharm
They are doing it again!!! Sharmers will soon be dazzled once more by another outstanding performance put on by the children of Sharm. The infamous musical ‘Grease’ is now brought to you, however, this time not played by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John but by our own children here in Sharm.
After their huge success of ‘Hairspray’, nothing seems to be holding them back! Over 20 children are expected to take part in the Sharm version of Grease, where the leading characters will be auditioned.
Participant must be at least six years of age or older. The auditions should take from two to three hours, with each child auditioning for a lead taking up to about 15 minutes. The auditions should go on for the duration of two days, but that will depend on the amount of interest shown.
It was the children themselves that chose ‘Grease’ as they were given the option between that or High School Musical 3, but after discussing it with their parents, the old-time favourite won. Not only that but, other favourites were already suggested for next time!
The five judges of the auditions will be local members of our active community and include Ranya Barakat-Sinai Weekly, Janey-Singer, Moira Tune- Mix Magazine, Representative-Soho Square, Representative-FitnFun and several others. After the excitement of the auditions has died down, the rehearsals are due to take place between October 2009 and April 2010, therefore will last for about 20-25 weeks.
“Sharmers- we have an extraordinary amount of talented young children here in this small community! These children strive for the top and don't settle until their goal is met! We have the ability and resources to allow their talent and goals to be met!,” – declared Erin, organizer of ‘Grease’ and ‘Hairspray’.
“We appreciate the support we have and the children reward the supporters with their huge smiles and laughter when it hits performance day! We had one motto when completing Hairspray and that was- 'NEVER SAY NO- I CANT DO THAT!' We welcome everyone who is interested and appreciate all the support we get! There is nothing better than seeing young children on stage enjoying the experience of learning something new or already loved- a smile is the most rewarding gift! Sharmers please support our youngest of community members!” – She continued...
Well, if you see yourself as the new Sandy or Danny of Sharm, then you should certainly be auditioning for the show. The exact dates for the auditions are as following:
29th September - will be an information day (3:30-5:30)
30th September - lead character auditions (3:30-5:30)
The auditions will take place at the Sharm el Sheikh college- Theatre. Well, good luck kids; you will all be great! See you on the big day

Homeopathy In Sharm
When you visit the doctor, he will ask you what is wrong. "My foot hurts," you might say, and the doctor will lift the foot and look at it from all angles.
He has seen this before. Within 15 minutes, he will learn all of the details he needs to make a diagnosis. He will write on a pad, hand you a slip of paper, and you will hobble out the door. This is how medicine is done, right?
Why is it then, that for the same complaint, a homeopath will require that you sit in her office for at least an hour? Why will she ask you about your childhood, your dreams, your preferences for food, and so on?
What are these tiny white pills she has recommended you, and why do they have a name that sounds so strange?

Do You Believe In The Evil Eye?
Hello Muriel, Do you believe in the evil eye? Thanks, Mona
Dear Mona,
I don’t think it is about belief; it is more about respect and acceptance for other people’s beliefs. It is not about my opinion either as opinions become diluted with age.
The ‘Evil Eye’ is believed by many cultures to be able to cause bad luck or injury on the person to whom it is directed.
The concept and significance of it varies widely between cultures, but for me the psychodynamics are of ‘envy.’
It has been mentioned several times in the Bible and is also mentioned in the Koran.
