Auditions for The Diary of Anne Frank

September 2&3, 3pm-5pm

Well, it is that time again! I am excited to announce that we will be performing "The Diary of Anne Frank" this fall (Nov. 12-14)! If you are not familiar with the book, play or movie, here are a few links to check out: Play info, History of Anne Frank, The Anne Frank Museam. There are two versions of the play. We will be performing the one update by Wendy Ann Kesselmen.

For the audition, we will be doing readings from the script. I will try to get some sample copies loaded up to the blog. You only need to attend ONE of the audition days.

There are ten roles - 5 male, 5 female (I will also need a few guys to be Nazi soldiers in one scene). If you have any questions, feel free to come ask! I look forward to seeing you all at the auditions!

BRIGADOON AUDITIONS

The time has come for the auditions for our spring music! We are putting on "Brigadoon" on April 16th-18th! This show has a wonderful story and I hope to see many at the auditions. If you are unfamiliar with the show, you can read the synopsis. You may also listen to music samples on Rhapsody. (Please note that this album is from 1947, so the don't be too distracted with the style.)

If you intend on auditioning, you must attend at least one of the music workshops with Mrs. Selby. The workshops will be on January 12th through 14th during lunch and on January 13th after school for about 20 minutes. You will be learning the music with which you will be auditioning. Rather than each person selecting his/her own piece of music, each student will audition with the song "Almost Like Being in Love." You are welcome to come to all of the workshops.
The actual auditions will be held on January 14th-15th from 3pm-5:30pm in Mr. Madden's room. During the audition you will individually sing "Almost Like Being in Love". Please sign up for a musical audition time slot on the sheet posted by Mrs. Selby's room.
You will also be performing readings from the script. You need only to attend one of the audition dates. Attending both does not increase your odds of recieving a part.
If you have any other questions, ask Mr. Madden.
