The Curious Savage

AUDITIONS

Here we go again!  The play for this fall is the comedy, "The Curious Savage", by John Patrick.  We did this show nine years ago and it was a lot of fun.  It was only our second fall play when we did it and I think it is time to resurrect this classic show.  The plot and character breakdown can be read here. 

Auditions will be Thursday, September 4 from 3:10-5:00 in Mr. Madden’s room (218). At the audition, students will be performing cold reads of short selected scenes from the play.  Auditions are open to all 9-12 grade students. The cast will consist of 5 males and 6 females.  Rehearsals will begin the following Monday, September 8.  We will rehearse on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 3:30-5pm.  The show will run from November 6-8.  I hope to see you at the auditions!

Thanks to all 22 wonderfully talented girls who auditioned!  It was a difficult decision to make.  We are excited about the amount of talent among our young ladies!  For those of you who didn't get a part, don't give up!

Scripts and schedules can be picked up at school tomorrow.  There is a rehearsal tomorrow (Thursday) that includes all of the Von Trapp children from 3:30-5:30.  I know it is short notice, so if you can't make it I understand.

The Sound of Music Auditions

The time has come for the auditions for our spring musical! We are performing "The Sound of Music" on April 10-12th! I’m sure most all of you are familiar with the story, but just in case you aren’t, you can read about it here.  There are 8-12 male roles and 13-20 female roles.  Here is a quick look at the characters in the show. We will likely be holding auditions with the elementary students for some of the younger children’s roles.  We will not have elementary auditions until we have cast the show with secondary students.   If you intend on auditioning, you MUST attend at least one of the music workshops with Mrs. Selby. The workshops will be afterschool from 3:10-3:30 on January 13th and 14th and during lunch on January 15th. You are welcome to come to all of the workshops. 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 assigned song, “Climb Every Mountain.”

The auditions are open to all secondary students. They will be held on January 15th-16th from 3:10pm-5:30pm in Mr. Madden's room. During the audition you will individually sing the assigned song. Please sign up for a musical audition time slot on the sheet posted outside 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 days does not increase your odds of receiving a part.

Please know that if you are cast in this show, you will be required to attend rehearsals on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 3:30-5:30.  If you know that it will be difficult to commit to those times, it would be best to not audition at this time.  While we do our best to work with student athletes, it might be too great a commitment for some to be heavily involved in both extra-curricular events.

If you think that acting and singing is not your thing, we would still love to have you involved.  All technical aspects of the show will be handled by the school’s Tech Team.  We also need a stage manager who is committed to being at every rehearsal to take notes and is able to keep order back stage during the show.   One other area to help is with gathering props (aka, prop manager).  If hunting down hard to find items and organization is your thing, this is a fun way to help out!

If you have any other questions, ask Mr. Madden or Mrs. Selby. I hope to see you at the audition!
