Have you already been bitten by the "acting bug" and are looking for your next theatrical fix? Or maybe, you aren't interested in acting but are more of a "behind the scenes" person.

In addition to the on-stage show, there is supplemental curriculum designed to introduce you to a wide range of theatrical skills such as: Directing, Design, Music, Playwriting, Choreography, and more   Participants:  This class is open to current 6th-8th graders (all students who sign up and audition will be involved in the production)   Class Dates: June 5 (Auditions - be prepared to sing approximately 30 seconds to a minute of a song of your choosing.
