SPS MUSICAL AUDITIONS

St. Paul’s Players are excited to announce that the SPS musical is making a comeback!  Dear Edwina, Jr. is a heartwarming musical about the joys of growing up, from the creators of Junie B. Jones, The Musical. Although likely unfamiliar to most, Dear Edwina will be a delight for both cast and audience!

 

Auditions for the show will be held for students in grades 5^th-8th on

Monday Dec. 12^th 3:00-4:15, and Tuesday, Dec. 13^th 3:00-4:15 in the Music Room.  Students will only need to come to ONE of the audition dates, and they do not need to prepare anything for the audition.

 

ALL students who audition will be cast in the show. Audition information and permission slips will be passed out to the students on Monday, Dec. 5th.

Performances of the show will be held March 9th and 10th. We will have three total performances: a day and an evening performance on Thursday, March 9th, and a performance for the school on Friday the 10th. Please note that the 10th is the Friday before Spring Break.  If your child will not be able to perform at all three performances, they should not audition. 

 

Auditioners should come with their permission slip and the one-time non-refundable fee of $35.

 

If you have questions, or your child is unable to attend either of the auditions but would like to be involved, please contact Tara Greufe at [email protected].

We are looking forward to another great turn out of SPS performers!
