We will try our best to involve everyone interested but we cannot guarantee specific parts to everyone. In past performances, we have been successful in creating roles everyone can enjoy…including chorus members, soloists, dancers, actors, ensemble troupes and special walk-on parts. A musical is made up of all individuals coming together to create a performance that is enjoyable not only to the audience but also for the entire cast. It is a true teamwork effort and we depend on everyone doing their part to create each scene even when they are not directly involved in a particular scene. If you cannot cooperate in this type of setting, we will need to ask you to rethink your participation and possibly release you from your involvement. We also need a commitment that everyone will be at practices regularly and ready to work. Our time is limited and we want a show everyone can be proud of.
We will be ordering performance “It’s a Kid’s Life” tee shirts for everyone in addition to making other costumes and props for the show. The cost will be $15 – if this is a concern for you please contact the office.
Further questions and concerns contact Directors: Mrs. Pfister & Mrs. Lammers
