​

AUDITIONS & REHEARSALS
Rehearsals take place within our Weekly Theatre Academy classes, for an hour and a half a week. Across the first 2 weeks of term, our creative team will work with the casts to explore the story, music and choreography in 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, 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 6th June and a dress rehearsal on either Wednesday 10th or Friday 12th June, depending on cast.
