Hello, all! Thank you, kids, for all your hard work, patience and enthusiasm. Thank you, parents, for your support. We have some requests to make. Our budget is currently such that purchasing the remainder of the props we need would be ludicrous. The following are the things we'd like to borrow from parents or family of kids in the show.

Low, lightweight wooden table (nightstand, coffee table, etc) with four wooden posts
Two small wooden chairs
Fake plants--potted ferns, ficus trees, small bushes, etc

If you are able to donate something for the dress rehearsals and performance, please contact one of the directors asap. Thanks again!

Cast List

Well, I think its safe to say that the auditions went very, very well on Saturday, and I just want to thank all the kids who auditioned and their parents for their support. We tried to call everyone last night, but not everyone answered so just as a reminder; the first rehearsal is THIS MONDAY, the 12th. It would be great if all the kids could bring their own water bottles and don't forget that we will be giving out hard copies of the schedule at the first rehearsal as well. Now, without further ado, here is the cast list:

Auditions!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to remind you that auditions are swiftly approaching and I also have some changes to make to the time and place. The auditions are actually going to be held at Kristen's house (1204 Locust Lane). The ensemble auditions will be held at 9:00 am and the lead auditions will be at 1:00 pm. Please try to be on time. If being on time for the auditions will be a problem for you, please contact Miriam, Kristen or me so we are aware of any potential latecomers.

The kids do not have to prepare anything for the auditions. For the ensemble auditions, the kids will be auditioning in small groups. For the lead auditions, kids will audition alone in front of Kristen, Miriam, and me.

I have already posted the list of characters in the play and starred the ones that are main parts, but I failed to mention the approximate ages we are looking at for each character. The Muses/ Teachers will most likely be older girls (11-13) who can sing, dance, and act. All the family members must be able to sing, dance, and act as well. Alec can be anywhere from 8 to 13 as long as he looks a little younger than his parents. Alec must be able, at least, to sing and act. All the kids in the family can be anywhere from 6 to 13 as long as they look younger than their parents and are able to take direction from Kristen, Miriam, and me. Aesop, Altair, Abraxus (the father), and Aspasia (the mother) will be older kids (11-13).

Chances are that we probably won't give main parts to very young kids because younger kids are usually a little on the hyper side and we would rather have older, calmer kids in the main roles. Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors. :)
