CAST LIST


MUSIC

To produce the best show possible, it's super important that kids listen to their songs CONSTANTLY. Students will be given CD's in class, but you can also access all of the music digitally at the links below. Rehearsal Tracks have guide vocals on them... Performance tracks are just the accompaniment!


T-SHIRTS

Students get a commemorative t-shirt for participating in this show. Please add your child's t-shirt size to the Google Spreadsheet below. (You will need to download the Google Sheets app or use a desktop computer.)


You can order additional t-shirts for yourselves at $20 a piece, too. Just add your name and t-shirt size to the bottom of the list!



COSTUMES

Students (and their parents!) are responsible for their costumes. Have your child keep track of what characters they are playing and what kind of costumes they need. You can Google the show for costume inspirations or talk to our Directors!


Here are some general notes about costumes for individual characters:

PROPS

Students (and their parents!) are responsible for the props their character uses in the show. These props can be items that you purchase, have lying around your house or create if you're crafty!


SET DESIGN

Parents jump in to help create the set and scenery needed for our shows. If you're skilled with a hammer or some paint, then we'd love your help on our scenic design crew! Please be sure to join our Junior Musical Facebook Group and volunteer when you see posts about putting together the set. Parents who help with this important task receive an Early Admission pass for one of the performances!
