Check out a couple of the awesome underscored pantomimes the 7th graders have been working on!  Enjoy!!!

Crew applications for the fall musical are now available on the theatre board outside of room 121.  All applications are due to Mrs. Wheeler by September 14.  The crew list will be posted on the theatre board September 15!

To all who auditioned for the musical . . .

    First off, we are so proud of each and every one of you who auditioned for the musical this year.  It takes a tremendous amount of courage to do something like that!  No matter what the outcome, you should be extremely proud that you had the guts to do something many people are way to nervous to even attempt!

    This year's musical casting was very difficult!  Into the Woods Jr. has a small cast - we were able to cast 30 actors and over 100 auditioned for the show.  If you did not make the cast, please do not give up hope!  Many FANTASTIC performers did not make the show this year - it does not have to do with your talent or ability.  We only have room for a few and have to consider who is best for the particular roles in this show.  There will be other acting opportunities available this year and we would love for you to continue auditioning!  We would also love for you to be a part of the crew!  Crew applications are available on the theatre board!  Again, we encourage you to never give up trying!

   If you were cast, congratulations!  Please remember to be humble and conscious of the fact that many of your peers did not make it.  We will have our first rehearsal on Tuesday, September 8 from 3:00-5:00 pm in the vocal music room.  Packets with scripts and rehearsal schedules will be distributed at this time!  See you then!  We look forward to working with you!

The makeup design and scenic painting team member names are posted on the theatre call board outside of room 121.  If you applied for one of these positions, check the theatre call board TODAY to see if you made the team!  We will have a short meeting TODAY for all team members in room 121.  The meeting will be from 2:55-3:15.  See you there!

Changes to Musical Auditions!!!

  If you have already signed up for an audition time for Into the Woods, your exact audition time has most likely changed.  In order to accommodate more student auditions we have shortened audition time slots from 5 minutes to 4 minutes.  Please check the list ASAP to see what your new time is!!

  Also, the audition workshop will now be held from 2:55-4:30 on Wednesday, August 26.  The date is still the same but the time has changed.  Please note this time change and make sure your parents are aware of when to pick you up!!

  If you have questions see Mrs. Wheeler!
