This year’s Student run production is still happening!

Despite the rest of this school year being virtual, this year’s summer show program is still happening. Everything will start off virtually to ensure the safety of the students involved. Interested in auditioning? Here’s all the information:

This year’s student run show is…..Freaky Friday the Musical! Freaky Friday tells the story of  a mother and daughter who do not understand how the other lives. Tensions arise between them as the Mother’s wedding is approaching in just one day. With the help of a magic hourglass, the mother and daughter end up switching bodies! The two must learn to live as the other for a day and frantically search for a way to switch back before the wedding.

The audition process for this show will be happening virtually. Students will send in a video of themselves singing a snippet of a song from musical theatre.

The singing requirements are as follows:

-You must state your name, the grade you are entering in the fall of 2020, and the song you are singing.

-You must be seen on camera at all times. That being said, you must be the only one seen in the video.

-Please try to find a blank background and a quiet room to record your video. When you are recording, please record the video horizontally.

-All audition videos are to be sent to this email: [email protected]

There is also a dance audition, also to be sent through video form. While the dance portion of the audition is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended to be considered for a featured dancer or lead role.

Dance Requirements:

-Please learn the choreography shown in the video above. Feel free to pause, rewind, or rewatch the video as many times as you need!

-Record yourself performing the dance to the best of your abilities. If there are any other skills you would like to show us, feel free to do so.
