School year 2006-2007

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

  • Rehearsal dates: Oct 30th, Nov 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, and 15th, 3 hours each day after school in the Commons

  • Two performances on Thursday, November 16th at 2 PM and 7 PM

  • Cost - $20

 

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

  • Rehearsal dates: February 5th – March 21st (except for the entire week of February 19th), MTWTh, 3 hours each day after school in the Commons/music portable, possibly some additional rehearsal/technical details during the last week most likely to coincide with the two half days on the school calendar

  • Two performances – one on Thursday, March 22nd at 2 PM and the second on Friday, March 23rd at 7 PM

  • Cost - $60

 

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.
