What is the name of the new show? What is it about?
We are donig Annie, Jr. It is a shortened version of the original, Tony Award winning musical.Back to Top
Can I be in sports and the play?
That depends on you. I try very hard to work around everyone's schedule; however, there will be times when it is crucial that everyone be at play rehearsal for the good of the show. If you are able to balance your schedule and put the play first when necessary, there shouldn't be a problem. If you are the star player for your sport; however, you probably should not consider auditioning for the play.Back to Top
Can we stay after school on rehearsal or performance days?
Yes, you can. However, you must go to Alpha at dismissal until I can get up to the school to spring you out. Unless, of course, you have a parent who is willing to babysit y'all until I get to the school.Back to Top
Do the boys have to wear make-up, too?
YES and sometimes tights!Back to Top
When will the cast list be posted?
After we have heard from all the teachers and Sister Elizabeth. Once you are selected for the cast, you will receive a script.Back to Top
There are a variety of reasons why a person may not be cast in a show. Many times, schedule conflicts can be the problem. Or, I could be looking for a specific look for a certain character. It is not always something you can control. However, if you want to improve your chances: be expressive, speak loudly, and try to get on the crews of shows you aren't in!Back to Top
The crew makes the show happen. They set up props, sell tickets, run lights, etc. Being on the crew is also a good way to get me to know who you are. It is an opportunity to show me how well you can keep commitments, be responsible, and work with others.Back to Top
The fees for the shows go to pay for royalties (permission from the publisher to perform the show) costumes, make-up, props, set pieces, and whatever else we need to put a play together.Back to Top
Is the fee refundable if I decide to quit the show?
No. I base the budget of the show on the number of people cast. I have already spent your fee money on things that are needed to make the production happen.Back to Top
What if I am absent from school the day of a rehearsal?
Email me or have your parents email me in the morning so that I know you will not be there before I get to the school, in case I need to change the rehearsal schedule.Back to Top
