Hello Showcase cast! Thank you so much for your hard work at dance auditions yesterday and today! Callbacks will be TOMORROW, Friday 4/26 after school until 4:30pm.
We will start callbacks by doing the three dances from auditions (or whichever of them you learned) so please practice those. Then we will move into lyrical. IF YOU DID NOT GET A CALLBACK PLEASE DON’T WORRY! Everyone is in the show, this is just to cast some of those more technical dances. Please let me know if you have any questions. Again, don’t worry if you don’t see your name here - there is soooo much dance in this show and everyone will have plenty to do! The full cast list will be posted on Monday evening after singing tryouts!

Remember:
BE KIND. This is our professional opinion after looking at all of the acting, singing, and dancing auditions. We are the directors, and have been doing this for many years. We put people into roles based on those things, and based on how much we think you can grow - do NOT make anyone feel bad for ANY reason. We want you to have the best show possible, and be as successful as you can. Click here for the Cast List List. Have a nice vacation, and we will see you in January when we get back. Thanks for everyone's hard work over the last few weeks. We know it's a long process, but there's over 100 of you, and lots to see and hear!
There will be no final callbacks after school today. The cast list will be posted at 3pm tomorrow, Friday December 22. Thank you all for your efforts and bravery. We expect nothing but kindness and support for each other going forward. Thanks, Ms P, Mr V. and Grace Hello Seussical cast! Thank you so much for your hard work at dance auditions this week and last week! Callbacks will be TOMORROW, Wednesday 12/20 after school until 5pm at the latest - it is possible we will be done slightly before this so please plan your rides accordingly!
We will start callbacks by doing the three dances from auditions so please practice those (if you didn't learn the third combo, it’s OK!). Then we will move into tap and lyrical. IF YOU DID NOT GET A CALLBACK BUT STILL WANT TO TRY TAP, PLEASE COME TOMORROW! You need to have your own tap shoes! Also, if you got a callback and don't want to tap, that's fine too! If you cannot come to callbacks because of the schedule change but you would like to be considered for a featured dance role, you need to send in a video of yourself doing a jazz or lyrical dance by end of day Wednesday 12/20. Please let us know if you have any questions. Don’t worry if you don’t see your name here - there is soooo much dance in this show and everyone will have plenty to do! Thank you!

You may have heard that the school is closing early on Thursday and will be closed the full day on Friday for memorial services for Officer Tracey. In light of this information, the dance auditions scheduled for this Thursday and callbacks that were supposed to be on Friday will need to be rescheduled. Here is the full updated plan: These days will be the same: Wednesday December 13 - Dance Audition Day 1 until 5, as planned. Monday December 18 - Singing Callbacks until 4:30, as planned (callback list will be posted here tomorrow evening at the latest) These Days have Changed: *Tuesday December 19 - Dance Audition Day 2 until 5, *RESCHEDULED* - (everyone who was planning to go Thursday should go this day.) *Wednesday December 20 - Dance Callbacks (callback list will be posted here Thursday evening) And just a final note that no one will be able to take the late bus for any of these final days of auditions. Please plan a ride for the posted ending times. Thank you, Ms Portsmore Hi all! Please read the schedule and dates very carefully before signing up. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FIRST: The Performances are on April 5 at 7pm and 6th at 1pm and 6pm (that's TWO shows in one day, you will stay all day) . YOU MUST BE FREE THE FULL WEEK PRIOR TO THE PERFORMANCE. You must attend all performances. You may only miss ONE rehearsal for dance or other pre existing classes the week of March 25-28 You MUST attend the Saturday rehearsal for tech on March 30 10-4pm. Rehearsals will begin immediately after break when we come back. There will be several SATURDAY rehearsals tucked in there as well, where we cover a LOT of ground. Everyone who WANTS TO BE IN THE MUSICAL must come to ONE dance audition & ONE singing audition. SINGING AUDITIONS (ONLY ONE) Friday December 8 until 4:30, or when you're done Monday December 11 until 4:30, or when you're done DANCE AUDITIONS: (ONLY ONE) Wednesday December 13 until 5:00 at the latest (you can leave when your group is done, but not before) Thursday December 14th until 5:00 at the latest (you can leave when your group is done, but not before) ACTING AUDITIONS (**optional**, only for those interested in a lead - PICK ONE) Monday December 4 until 4:30 or when you're done Thursday December 7 until 4:30 or when you're done You may get a "Callback" for either dance, singing, or a final callback just to be sure: SINGING - Monday December 18 until 4:30pm DANCING - Friday December 15 until 5pm ACTING/Final Callbacks - Thursday December 21 til 5pm A "Callback" is when a few people are asked to come back because a director wants to see more of what you can do. If you do not get a callback, it does not mean that you are not in the show or being considered for a part! If this seems extreme - there are a LOT Of people we want to see, and it takes a lot of time to get through all of the talent at our school!
