Theater

It’s time for the 2006-2007
3rd-6th Grades
Theater Class!
We
will be offering two productions this school year, in
conjunction with Youth Theatre Northwest. Both
productions will be open to 3rd-6th
graders. Placement in program will be determined by a
lottery conducted in September. Parents/students have
the option of either play, allowing for more
scheduling flexibility and different interest levels.
Depending on the actual number of those interested, there
may be a chance for students to do both plays.
Fall Play – “Jack and the
Beanstalk”
-
Jack and the Beanstalk
is not a musical - A boy named Jack, some magic
beans, and a giant - what more could you ask for in a
fairytale! Journey with Jack as he climbs a magical
beanstalk straight to his destiny.

30 kids in 3rd-6th grades

Winter Play – “Honk!”
-
Honk!
– is a musical - Witty and hilarious, but also
deeply moving, Honk! is the story of Ugly, whose
odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his
family and neighbors. Ugly's quest to fit in leads him
through a series of exciting adventures with an
impressive menagerie of spirited farmyard and pond
characters.

50 kids in 3rd-6th grades

likely to coincide with the two half days on the school
calendar

at 7 PM

Conflict policy:
actual rehearsal times for each actor will depend on
casting, which will occur at the first rehearsal. You will
not know your child’s exact rehearsal schedule until then.
The director will NOT need all actors every day, especially
early in the production. NO CONFLICTS will be allowed during
the run of Jack and the Beanstalk, due to the short
length of the production. For Honk!, minimal
conflicts will be allowed for the first half of the
production, and NO CONFLICTS will be allowed after March
5th. NO CONFLICTS means if your child is scheduled to be at
rehearsal, they MUST be there. During this time, theater
must take priority to all other activities, sports, and
appointments.
Those interested should complete the registration form (click
here for form), sign both the Student Agreement and
Parent Agreement, and submit the completed form to the
office by September 5, 2006. No late applications will be
accepted.
