Auditions are scheduled for either Thursday, September 10 or Friday, September 11. You will choose your preferred audition date upon registration. Auditions end at 4:00 PM. Prompt pick up is expected from the main entrance in front of the school.

While auditions help the directors assign parts, they are meant to be a fun and engaging experience. No pressure!! Every registered participant will have a role in the play and every role is important!

Thursday rehearsals begin on September 17 for all registered 3-5 Grade Cast members. Thursday rehearsals end at 4:00 PM

Our first Friday rehearsal (for small groups only) will be held on September 18. You will receive individual weekly communication if your student is asked to attend a Friday rehearsal. Friday rehearsals will end at 3:30 PM.
