Pre-Production Workshop
We realize that your child may have little or no theatrical stage experience. This opportunity is designed to provide them with an exciting opportunity to shine on stage, but without the stress of auditions. There will be no formal auditions for our Munchkin cast. Instead we will have a pre-production workshop where your child will learn some songs and choreography for the show!
Rehearsals
- Rehearsals for our cast of Munchkins begin in early November. Tuesdays 5:30-8:30PM, Thursdays 5:30-8:30PM, Sundays 3:30-5:30PM. This is a very short time commitment as rehearsals for our Munchkins and the performances will all take place in the month of November, before the week of Thanksgiving.
- Plan for additional rehearsal time during Tech Week
