If you’ve experienced
the magic of theatre, [y]ou’ve seen a variety of people with different
backgrounds, different strengths and different interests all work together on a
theatrical production and end up feeling more like a single, united community
than a cluster of individuals. By definition, a community is a group of people
with a common interest, but we know it’s so much more than that. It’s a sense
of trust, care and support that makes a community thrive. (Pioneer Drama August 2011 Newsletter)
If your child aged 6*-18 wants to be part of the WRHS
Theater community and participate in next spring’s production of Kilroy Was Here, plan on attending
auditions at Bethany Evangelical Free Church in Clintonville on October 6 from 1-3 pm.
Last names beginning with N-Z will be from 1-2 pm.
Last names beginning with A-M will be from 2-3 pm.
Any student who wants
a line in the show needs to be prepared with a monologue that is less
than one minute long. (This might be
a poem, Bible verse, story, etc.)
Students will also need to be prepared with one verse of
a song. You may bring a CD or sheet
music (a keyboard will be available, but we are not planning on having
auditions in the room with the piano).
If you do not have a song chosen, be prepared to sing a verse of My Country Tis of Thee or America the Beautiful.
Some people prefer to sing in a duet or group for
auditions. That is allowed. However, if you do not audition with a solo
part, you will NOT get a solo part in the show.
We will be looking at memorization ability, articulation,
volume, clarity, expression and preparedness when assigning roles.
If you have a child who doesn’t want to audition, but just
wants to be part of the chorus, they will need to sign up by this time and you will
need to fill out the parent commitment form.
*Sometimes younger children need more guidance than the
directors have time to give. If your
child needs extra attention, plan on being at more of the rehearsals.
