Good Morning!!
For our upcoming show, Playmakers Youth Theatre in Beachwood is doing something
new!! We are opening up our traditional
2nd-9th grade show to kids in kindergarten and 1st
grade!! We will not hold auditions for
this age group, as we know that can be a little intimidating for a first
show!! Instead, we are offering the
opportunity to join one of the casts (A or B, based on scheduling) as a Penguin
in Madagascar the Musical and get the experience of being on stage with their friends
(and make some new ones). Being a part
of a show like this helps kids boost their self-confidence, meet new kids, and
work as a team to create one awesome piece of theatre!
For this age group, we will have a modified rehearsal
schedule. Additionally, for those of you
with kids already involved with Playmakers, please be aware that for Madagascar
we will only have THREE performances per weekend (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday
2pm). We will not have the Sunday 7pm
show. This show has a runtime of
approximately 60 minutes with no intermission.
We will have a dedicated Assistant Director for the K and 1st
grade group, so that they will feel comfortable and guided through the process
beyond what we normally provide through other Assistant Directors, Musical
Director, Choreographer, and me.
Please see below for details and let me know if you have any
questions. If your child would have to
miss some rehearsals, that is ok! We
will get them caught up so that everyone feels confident to go on stage when
the show comes! To register, please
email me with your child’s name and which cast he/she will be joining. We will hold a parent meeting with all
information on Sunday January 6, 2019. Rehearsals
for this group will be held together.
They will split into casts for tech week and shows.
