PICK UP: Parents are expected to pick up their students no later than 10 minutes after the end of rehearsal.  If a student is consistently picked up late, the parents will be contacted.

BEHAVIOR: Students are expected to be on their best behavior at all times and will be removed from the cast if poor behavior interferes with rehearsals.

HAVE FUN: Students are expected to enjoy themselves. This is a fun show and we want everyone to have a memorable experience. We expect everyone to work hard and be happy.

 

ATTENDANCE: Ensemble members should expect to commit at least to 2 rehearsals each week. Speaking roles should expect more rehearsals a week, varying from 3-5. All rehearsals will be held at Box Elder High School. Attendance at rehearsals is very important, if a student is unexcused for more than 3 rehearsals, they will be dropped from the show. (Unexcused is defined as the directorial staff was uninformed of a students’ absence.) Exceptions will be made for family matters, illness and other needs at the discretion of the directors.  If you know you will miss for vacation or something similar put it out on the back of the audition form.

 

Spring Break is Wednesday April 2nd through Friday the 4th. No rehearsals will be held those days as well as Tuesday the 1st. We are planning on having rehearsal Monday, March 31st. If you will be gone the 31st please note that on the audition form.

 

The last several rehearsals (March 24-28, 31 & April 7-11) are MANDATORY for every cast member. If you are unable to attend any of these days, please put it on the audition form before auditions. These are the days where we will be putting the whole show together, costumes, tech, microphones, etc. Students may be dropped from certain numbers or even the show if they have any unexcused absences on these days.

 

PARTICIPATION FEE:

There will be a cast fee of $20, which will cover the cost of the show and give each person a cast T-shirt.

The $20 needs to be paid to BEHS Theatre by February 21st.

(If you are cut or drop out of the play, your money will be refunded until February 28th) If you cannot pay the fee, write it down and we will find a sponsor.

Don't let the cost of the show keep anyone from auditioning.

 
COSTUMES:

Each student is responsible for gathering minimal costume items. (For the most part these items can be easily found at your home, ex. Belt, shoes, etc.) If a student’s costume needs to be altered or constructed, patterns and fabric will be provided.

 PARENT HELP:

A theatre production is a huge endeavor.   We need help with supervising, advertising, ticket sales, etc.  Please sign up for what area you can help us with.

What to expect at Auditions

Next Monday & Tuesday are auditions. Here is what you should expect-

 1. Students will meet in the commons and form a line (or cluster or blob, whoever gets there first decides) and they will receive a number that the student director will give them.
2. They will be put into groups of 8-10. Boys will audition in a group of boys and girls will audition in groups of all girls.
3. They will warm-up as a group before going in.
4. They will be taught a song at the audition (don't bring anything prepared). They will learn and sing it as a group a couple times and then be asked to sing individually, once.
5. They then will be done with the audition.

A few audition tips are-
  • Smile
  • Don't talk while others are singing
  • Breathe
  • Do your best
We want everyone to do well. We want this show to be great.

We will be posting a callback list on Tuesday night for Wednesday Callbacks and another list on Wednesday night for Thursday Callbacks.  If you get a called back for one or both days good for you. If you don't get called back that doesn't mean you weren't good or we didn't like you.

We can't wait to get working on this show and we are very excited there is a lot of interest. See you all next week!
