Discover SJCHS Theatre High School

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23RD, 3:30-6:30PM

SJCHS BLACK BOX THEATER, 1790 LAKE STREET, OGDEN, UT, 84401

STUDENTS WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MUSICAL ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND THE ENTIRE AUDITION. PLEASE BRING COMFY CLOTHING TO DANCE IN. SIERRA WILL TEACH THE STUDENTS A SIMPLE PHRASE OF DANCE TO PERFORM. THEN ANDREW WILL TEACH A SHORT PHRASE OF MUSIC FROM THE SHOW FOR STUDENTS TO SING. FINALLY, MRS. HUGHES WILL HAVE SOME LINES FOR STUDENTS TO READ FROM THE SHOW. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. ALL ROLES ARE OPEN. 

STUDENTS SHOULD BRING DANCE OR SPORTS CLOTHING TO CHANGE INTO FOR THE CHOREOGRAPHY. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE PENALIZED, HOWEVER, IF THEY DO NOT. ALL STUDENTS SHOULD COME PREPARED TO LEARN, HAVE FUN, AND RISK BEING AMAZING. IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR STUDENTS TO LISTEN TO THE MATILDA MUSICAL SOUNDTRACK AND WATCH THE NETFLIX MOVIE TO GET TO KNOW THE SONGS, CHARACTERS AND STORY REALLY WELL. 

ANY ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY (3RD-5TH), MIDDLE, OR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT MAY PARTICIPATE. PARENTS OF 3RD THROUGH 5TH GRADE STUDENTS WILL BE ASKED TO HELP SUPERVISE DURING REHEARSALS (YOU CAN WORK TOGETHER TO DIVIDE UP THE TIME, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY YOUNGER STUDENTS  END UP IN THE CAST). THE PRODUCTION TEAM WILL BE THERE TO HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED.  THAT TEAM INCLUDES, MRS. HUGHES-DIRECTOR; ANDREW HAMMER- MUSIC DIRECTOR; SIERRA VASHRO-CHOREOGRAPHER; MRS. STEED-COSTUMER; MR. THOMPSON-SET DESIGN; DAN PACK- LIGHTING & SOUND DESIGN.

STUDENTS WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE, BUT CANNOT ATTEND THE AUDITIONS SHOULD EMAIL MRS. HUGHES BEFORE THE AUDITIONS. ANY STUDENT WHO WANTS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A LEADING ROLE MUST ATTEND THE AUDITIONS. 

JANUARY 17, 18, 23, 24, AND 25TH @ 7PM AND JANUARY 25TH AT 2PM.  6 PERFORMANCES TOTAL. 

MONDAYS THROUGH THURSDAYS, 3:30-6:30PM AND FRIDAYS, 12:45-3:45PM. IN GENERAL, STUDENTS WHO WISH TO PLAY LEADING ROLES ARE HEAVILY INVOLVED, SMALLER ROLES AND ENSEMBLE TYPICALLY REHEARSE 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK. AS WE NEAR PRODUCTION WEEK, REHEARSALS PICK UP FOR EVERYONE. HELL WEEK IS JANUARY 13-18TH. (HELL WEEK IS THE  INDUSTRY STANDARD NAME FOR THE WEEK THAT YOU OPEN, ALSO KNOW AS PRODUCTION OR TECH WEEK). 

STUDENTS AND PARENTS WILL BE ASKED TO COMPLETE A CONFLICT SHEET SO THAT WE CAN FIT THE STUDENT INTO THE REHEARSAL SCHEDULE AND ACCOMMODATE CONFLICTS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY. WE DO OUR LEVEL BEST TO WORK WITH STUDENTS AND PARENTS. 

NO MATTER! ALL YOU NEED TO BRING IS WILLINGNESS TO TRY, A STRONG WORK ETHIC, AND COMMITMENT. THIS  IS EDUCATIONAL THEATRE-WE WILL TEACH YOU! 

WOULD YOU GUESS THAT MOST OF THE PRODUCTION TEAM USED TO FEEL THAT WAY, TOO? INCLUDING MRS. HUGHES! WE WILL ASK YOU TO TRY AND HELP YOU FEEL SAFE TO DO YOUR BEST! ALL STUDENTS WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER AND CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EACH STUDENT FEELS SAFE TO TRY NEW THINGS.
