This is a great opportunity to get involved. All 4 shows that Creative Stage, the theatre company within the Fine Arts Center, is doing next year have teen roles and this may serve as a springboard to getting involved with them.

The four shows are:

A Little Murder Never Hurt Anyone (October)

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (December)

The Beverly Hillbillies (February) Co-directed by Ashley Pyle, the summer camp instructor

The Wizard of Oz Jr. (May)

I hope that many of you have an opportunity to get involved.

A few announcements

Hey everyone!

I hope that everyone had a great time at the cast party. Peter Pan was great and the cast loved performing for you.

The High School is offering a summer camp. Here is the link http://behstheatre.weebly.com/on-stage-summer-camp.html

They announced the fall musical, Footloose. I hope you come see it this November. It's sure to be a hit.

The Brigham City Fine Arts Center is offering theatre and art camps throughout the summer. They will be taught Ashley Pyle, who directed Charlotte's Web and choreographed Annie Jr. Both were at the Fine Arts Center.

I know that many people are auditioning for various things. I want to tell you about my last two auditions and how I didn't get a callback in either, but learned from both.

I auditioned for Disneyland. In my group of 75 I was the best male dancer. Not to brag, but that is coming from complete strangers in my group. When they announced the 20 they were calling back, I was not one of them. Despite absolutely nailing it, I wasn't even called back. It was because I was too tall. I wouldn't fit any of the characters they were looking for.

I recently auditioned for Hairspray in Ogden. I forgot my words and stumbled through the whole song. I wasn't called back. Not because I wasn't talented, but I didn't have a good audition.

Sometimes you have a good audition and you get cast, some times you have a bad audition and you don't and sometimes you have a good audition and you don't get cast. But never stop trying. There are always opportunities to be in shows. The more you audition the better you get at it, but sometimes you just bomb an audition. And that's okay. That doesn't mean you aren't talented, that doesn't mean you are bad person. You just didn't have a good audition. That's what it means and nothing else.

Best of luck with all your future auditions.

By the way there will be a musical next year. It will be announced at a future date. Jena Barber will be taking over the ACYI Musicals program.

Peter Pan

Thanks to everyone for coming to the cast party. We hope you enjoyed it and come back. The show opens Friday at 6:30 and runs Saturday at 11 and 3 and Monday at 6:30. Tickets are $8 for all of the performances except for the 11 show on Saturday, tickets are $4 for that show. We hope you come back and spread the word of this magical production.

Missing costumes

Attention all Who's, attention all Who's. We got no time to lose. The wonderful Mrs.Boyce checked out several costumes under her name from various organizations and wants to give them all back. She is missing a lab coat among many things. So if you could bring the things that Mrs Boyce gave to the cast party on Thursday that would be great. I've also had only a couple parents volunteer to bring treats so if there could be a few more that would be great. See you all Thirsday at 6:15!

Cast Party

Sorry it took so long to post. The cast party will be Thursday May 14th. We will be watching the final dress rehearsal of Peter Pan by the high school productions company. All of the student directors are in the show. You will need to be at the High School at 6:15. The show will start at 6:30. At intermission we will be having treats in the lunch room. If there are any parents who want to volunteer to make treats that would be awesome. Just send me an email letting me know what you're bringing.

Also there are several cast members who are in Annie at the Fine arts center. Tickets are on sale now. http://www.bcfineartscenter.org

Cast party will be soon

I know you are all so excited to have a cast party and we will have it. I have been swamped with my college classes and job interviewing at schools all across the state, I will be in St. George next tuesday interviewing down there for an opening. So I would say tentatively plan for the week after that.

I would like to have the opportunity to show a recording of the show to the cast. We did that in Schoolhouse Rock and it was fun. If any parent has a version that we can borrow for that day, please email me. milton.erwin@gmail.com

I can't believe that we closed just over a month ago. I just want to thank all of you for your work and time for this fabulous show. It was a great experience.
