The Empty Pot

For everyone with children ages 6-13 in the tree streets/Oak Hills Stake area, we are doing another Musical for kids this summer. This summer, we will be doing "The Empty Pot," a musical based on the Chinese folktale of the Empty Pot.

Auditions will be held on June 18th:

• Ensemble auditions will be at 9:00am. These auditions are for kids who would like to participate but do not want a main speaking, singing or dancing role.
• Main Parts auditions will be at 1:00pm. These auditions are for kids who want a main role in speaking, singing, and/or dancing. Kids may choose to audition for a speaking, singing, or dancing role; or two of the three; or all three.

Rehearsals will begin on Monday, June 20th and will run until Friday, July 8th, except for a day off on July 4th. Rehearsals will be Monday through Friday every week, and will run 10:00am to 12:00pm everyday. The performances will be on Saturday, July 9th, at 11:00am and 7:00pm. Kids wishing to participate should be able to attend both performances.

The prices this year will be $25 per child, or if there are 2 or more children in a family who wish to participate the price will be $20 per child.

More information concerning the actual roles in the play and so forth will follow, so stay updated and check this blog regularly.

SCHEDULE ALTERATION

THIS POST IS VERY IMPORTANT. I HOPE EVERYONE IS READING IT. Due to unforeseen circumstances and all that rot, BOTH of our performances (the 22nd and the 25th) will be knocked back ONE HALF HOUR. That means cast call is at 6:30 on Wednesday and Friday, as well as for our dress rehearsal on Tuesday, and our show actually begins at 7:30. Please pass this on and do not forget. Thanks!

Two rehearsals more!

Thanks for your effort today, guys. Below are several posts with instructions for the upcoming dress rehearsals and lyrics to our last song, You'll Never Walk Alone. Please remember, especially if you haven't been to rehearsal every time, that it is your responsibility to learn your music or ask us to help you if you don't know it. We have a CD of the music accompaniment for everyone, so if you didn't get one at rehearsal today, let Cami, Kristen or me know and we can get one to you.

I'm excited, guys. This is going to be good. Thanks for being such a great cast and crew.

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
