A complete rehearsal schedule will be available at auditions.

When will the younger kids rehearse?

K-4 will not be required every rehearsal. They will be dismissed at 7:30 on the nights they rehearse (until Tech and Performance Weeks).

Will the show be double-cast?

K-4 will be double-cast (two performances of the four). The named roles may not be double-cast, depending on how many students audition.

What if I’m playing Sports/other extracurriculars?

Conflicts with sports and other extracurricular activities should be reviewed before auditions and prior to accepting a role. Generally, lead roles will not be compatible with starting athletes. However, some accommodations will be made to include as many students in the musical as want to participate.

What is the absence policy this year?

Attendance policy will be a three (3) absence limit.  As rehearsals progress, accommodations may be possible on a case by case basis.  Attendance is mandatory for tech week and performances.

NOTE:  The attendance policy for the roles of Princess Fiona, Shrek & Donkey will be strictly enforced.  Due to the nature of these roles, rehearsal accommodations for conflicting activities cannot be made. Please consider this when auditioning.
