How to Prepare for a Junior Musical Audition
And when you're ready, sign up for our Audition slot using the form below.
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 yourself 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 notes from our Directors about costumes:
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! Use the spreadsheet below to sign up as a props provider!
TICKETS
Order your tickets online at clarioncenterforthearts.com/tickets to reserve your seats ahead of time! Tickets are $9 plus processing fees when purchased online. Tickets will be $10 when purchased at the door.
STAGE & TECH CREW
We rely on the help of siblings and friends to serve as our stage and tech crew for our Musicals. If you have another child or know of a friend who would like to be a part of the show in this way, please sign them up using the spreadsheet below. If you're signing up a friend, please include your name on the sheet for contact purposes. *Please make sure you are on the Musical tab before adding your name.
(Download the Google Sheets app or use a desktop computer.)
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!
TECH REHEARSALS
Students MUST attend every day of tech rehearsals JAN 20th-22nd. These will take place at Zion Church, 114 Zion Road, Clarion, where the show will be performed. Rehearsals will start promptly at 4:30pm, so please make arrangements to have your kiddo there on time!
Students should bring a light, mess-free dinner to eat during a short break each evening.
Costumes can be brought to the church on June 24th and left there for the whole week.
NOTE: Parents, please jump in to help make sure that the auditorium and dressing rooms are cleaned up and completely free of any food or trash before you leave each night of tech week! Please come in for the last 15 mins and help/guide the children. Many hands makes light work and helps keep things on time for departure.
PERFORMANCES & CAST PARTY
Students need to arrive for the performances at 6:00pm on Jan. 23rd & 24th and at 1:00pm on Jan. 25th.
Cast Party will follow the last show on Saturday!
Parents, please plan to stay after the last show to clean up the auditorium, dressing rooms and Cast Party room. We will need help vacuuming, taking out trash and making sure that ALL props and set pieces are removed from the church.
