F.A.Q. about the Middle School Play

 * What grades can participate in the play?
 * All students in grades 6, 7 and 8.
 * When are auditions?
 * Auditions are held during 9th period and afterschool during the mid-to late January weeks.
 * What is the time commitment for the play?
 * The 5-6 weeks of work toward the play can be a very busy time. We will work with you to work around your commitments such a religion, lessons and extra-curricular activities. We do require that EVERYONE attend all rehearsals for the last 2 weeks prior to the show including at least one Saturday rehearsal. (This year is March 24th). At that point we really need to have everyone on stage and ready so we can add in costume pieces, props and work on lighting and stage crew jobs. (If you play basketball on our school team you can still do the play, we ease out of the basketball game schedule and into the rehearsal schedule).
 * When is the play over?
 * The play falls toward the end of March, before softball and baseball season begins.
 * How do I get on stage crew?
 * You may sign up on the stage crew interest list. It is important to have your schedule ready for the last 2 weeks before the show. You will need to be at all rehearsals and meetings otherwise you will be replaced. Stage crew members are a vital aspect of any production and it is a commitment. Normally 7th & 8th graders who have participated in the show are placed into stage crew jobs because they are familiar with the way productions flow. Due to the constraints of our stage size we cannot guarantee that all of the students interested will be selected for stage crew. The BEST way to earn a stage crew position is to participate in the play and "shadow" a stage crew member to learn their job so you have the skills to perform their job another year.
