First we pick the show, then the production staff comes together, we start filling in the who’s who of the staff, and Scott starts working on the set design. The winter drags on and we do what we can but the fun doesn’t begin until a Saturday in May when people arrive at the Middle School sing 16 bars of their favorite show tune, do some dialogue, and talk to the directors and crew. The auditions continue on Monday and all those who showed up wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Until finally the cast list is announced and the show finally feels real–not just for the actors but for the production team as well.
The first read through is next week and then the show will hurdle towards June, first in the Middle School auditorium then to the High School Performing Arts Center after the school year is over. A whirlwind of sewing, building, painting, prop building, lighting, and make up, with singing, dancing, sweat, tears, but most of all fun.
