The first rehearsal was Wednesday, September 7 basically introducing what you’re going to be doing and after was a mandatory parent meeting telling important dates and things of that nature. “The dance is so fun”, “I’m so excited for the play!” are things that can be heard while there. Rehearsals are basically where you practice dances, vocals, dialogue, and just getting familiar with everything. It is a great way to see “behind the scenes” of what happens before a play is performed and you can learn alot too. Some people that were cast say that they learned about the stage, backstage, how it all works when you are playing a role, about the curtains, etc. The actors and actresses are working really hard on this. For example rehearsal’s can be as late as 6:00 – 7:30 after school. The performance is on 11/4 and 11/5 from 4:45 – 8:30
Congratulations to all those amzing actors and actresses!
