“One of the greatest pleasures I find in the arts is to be astonished at human ability...Such a spectacle of gratuitous talent incites me, not only to praise the artist, but to praise God for giving such ability to human beings.” Gene Veith, State of the Arts

The time has come for the auditions for our spring musical! We are performing "The Wizard of Oz" on March 30-April 1! This version of the musical follows the basic songs/structure of the 1939 MGM film.  There are 5 lead male roles and 3 lead female roles as well as 30-40 ensemble roles.  If you intend on auditioning, you MUST attend at least one of the music workshops with Mrs. Selby. The workshops will be after school from 3:10-3:30 on December 12 and during lunch on December 12 and 13. You are welcome to come to all of the workshops. You will be learning the music with which you will be auditioning.

The auditions are open to all secondary students. They will be held on December 13 from 2:30pm-5:30pm and on December 14 from 3:05pm-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 by Mrs. Selby's room. You will also be performing cold 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.  There will also be a cast fee of $100 for each person cast in the show.

If you think that acting and singing is not your thing, we would still love to have you involved.  We will need a lot of helping hands with make-up and hair.  If that is something you might be interested in, stay tuned for details of how you can help.  All technical aspects of the show will be handled by the school’s Tech Team.  You will need to talk with Mr. Kelley if you would like to be a part of that team.  

If you have any other questions, ask Mr. Madden or Mrs. Selby. We hope to see you at auditions!
