Calling all high school students with ANY interest in musical theatre, auditions for the fall musical are happening next week! Curtains School Edition is a classic Whodunnit musical within a musical full of twists that will keep any audience and cast on their toes! Singing, dancing, drama, snark, puns, this show has it all!
This musical is also very flexible, allowing for as large of a cast as we desire, so all high schoolers that want to be in this show, will be! Rehearsals take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights in the fall semester and the directors are very happy to work with your athletic schedules! (Don't let Tues. night volleyball games stop you from joining, we will work with you!) The musical is also free to participate in!
Auditions are a group event, meaning all music and lines will be taught to you during the audition process. You will not need to prepare anything on your own before those evenings. You are encouraged to be at both evenings of auditions if possible! These auditions are taking place on August 29th and 31st from 7 to 9pm in the high school auditiorium!
Feel free to contact the directors if you have any questions or concerns!
