CASTING WORKSHOPS
Why have workshops instead of call backs?
Casting workshops allows the creative team to preview and gauge the casts' capabilities in a low-pressure setting. Workshops will cover music, choreography and scene work over a weekend. Workshops allow us to refine the show while providing a theatrical educational experience to the invited participants.
Imagine no stress to learn the combination in minutes, let's mix and match scene partners, and enjoy the casting process..
After the workshop - we will finalize casting and begin rehearsing two weeks prior to tech week based on conflicts. We understand parents want to solidify their summer plans so we aim to cast in spring, distribute materials to the cast so they are familiar with the songs/scenes by the first rehearsal.

BUT FIRST TO BE CONSIDERED - send us a video DEADLINE is March 1, 2025!
