WHEN WILL IT TAKE PLACE

• The last week in the Autumn term (ie the week before Christmas holidays).

• We will rehearse the full weekend prior to ‘show week’ but it means you will have Christmas to recover and February half term off (year 11s will be able to revise for your mock exams!)

WHERE WILL IT TAKE PLACE

• We hope to hold the performance at the new Beyton campus.

• We plan to modify the layout of the main hall to reflect a ‘cabaret’ style eg. some table seating for the audience, the band will be on the stage in a frame and the performance space will be decking below the level of the stage, there will be the opportunity for cast to mix with audience whilst ‘in role’ and drinks and food will be served.

AUDITIONINGStage 1: Come and Learn about the show

• Thursday 26th June from 4-6pm in drama area• A workshop session will introduce the story and

characters to you. There will be some improvisation/script tasks, you will learn some choreography and we will go over the audition songs briefly.• This will be an informal session and the aim is for

people to come along and see if they might like to audition.• We hope to use the blog give you access to

helpful audition prep material.

AUDITIONINGStage 2: Come and impress us

• Thursday 3rd July from 4-6pm.• Auditions. You will dance some choreography

(taught the previous session) and sing your prepared songs. These will be ‘Wilkommen’ for boys and ‘Cabaret’ for girls. • (You will not need to prepare the whole of these

songs for the preliminary auditions, just the first sections)• At the end of this session will let you know who

we wish to call back.

AUDITIONING

Stage 3: Call-backs

• Friday 4th July from 4 - 5.30pm • We would like to hear ‘Wilkommen’ for

boys but this time with the dialogue.• For girls we would like to hear ‘Maybe this

time’.• There may also be some script work and

additional songs taught on the day.

CAST ANNOUNCED

• We will announce the main cast (and hopefully minor roles) BEFORE THE END OF TERM.• Main cast will have access to scripts over

the holidays to learn lines.• We will make use of the blog to post useful

links for you all to use.

BAND

• Please see Mrs Hollocks if you are interested in finding out more.• We may be able to make practice parts (not

final versions) available to you over the holidays to look at.• If your instrument is not involved in this

show it is likely that in ‘Honk’ (years 7-9 musical production) or the Shakespeare play (in Spring term) we will be able to use you.
