We know that we say all of this every year, but HONESTLY, this was an extremely difficult process because we had so many talented youth auditioning. Everyone did such a great job (making our jobs that much harder)! We were excited to see everyone strive to do his/her best!!! We hope that anyone who did not get a role this year will definitely keep trying and that we will see you back at auditions next year!!!
For those of you who are in the cast, congratulations! This week, your first rehearsal is Tuesday, April 25th from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm at the Elementary School – 1800 Lindenthal Highland, Il 62249. Students can ONLY BRING WATER. Be sure to check this posting for changes and updates. Over the next few days our Producer, Michele, will be adding parents to the facebook page and updates will be posted on there.
If you are not willing to accept your role, please send a private message on Facebook Messenger to the director, GENTRY FIFER NESSEL, no later than this evening, Monday, April 24th.
During the read-through on Tuesday, April 25th, there will also be a MANDATORY PARENTS’ MEETING. Bring your $45 fee with you that evening.
