AUDITIONS & REHEARSALS
Rehearsals take place within our Weekly Theatre Academy classes, for an hour and a half a week. We will begin by workshopping the show from May half term until the Summer break, as we explore the story, music and choreography, also teaching them some of the ensemble material for the show. When we return in September, we will have our workshop auditions, where everyone will be given the chance to showcase what they can do. Students will given the opportunity to perform a solo from a part of a song taught to them if they wish, sing as an ensemble, perform a piece of choreography, and showcase their acting skills in a scene. Following this, casting will be announced, with casting designed to give everyone their moment, no matter their role, allowing them to learn and grow.

​

We then get to work with rehearsals in full-swing from September, starting with the big full company number so everyone is involved, and then working through the full show material.

​

Alongside the regular weekly rehearsals, at the theatre there will be one Saturday Technical rehearsal on Saturday 5th December and a dress rehearsal on either Wednesday 9th or Thursday 10th December, depending on cast.
