Registration forms will be coming home in your child's backpack this week for the 2016 Frenchtown School Play! The students will be putting on "Character Matters," in which the Fairy Tale Advice Counsel meets with some of our kids' favorite storybook characters to help them deal with their issues. It's a super fun musical which will run less than an hour and the kids are going to love it!
The play will once again be directed by the fabulous Valerie Remillard Myette of Experiments in Theater and will be performed at the Greenwich Odeum on Main Street in East Greenwich on Friday, April 8th at 6:00 pm and Saturday, April 9th at noon.
Every student who signs up for the play will be in it. Kindergarteners sing a song at the beginning and the end of the production, and first and second graders can either opt to be part of the Ensemble or audition for a Speaking or Singing Solo Role. Kindergarteners and Ensemble cast DO NOT NEED TO AUDITION.
Here are the important dates to know:
- December 23rd: Registration forms are due - NO EXCEPTIONS
- January 6th: Auditions for Speaking/Singing Solo Roles ONLY from 2:45-4:00 pm at Frenchtown (more info on auditions will be sent after registration forms are received)
- January 11th: Rehearsals begin for 1st and 2nd graders and run every Monday and Wednesday from 2:45-4:00 pm
- February 24th: Rehearsals begin for Kindergarteners and run every Wednesday from 2:45-3:45 pm
- April 4th-7th: Tech Week and all rehearsals are MANDATORY!
The success of the school play depends on help from volunteers. A SignUp Genius will be going out next week but if you'd like to help with rehearsals, costumes and props, set, programs and publicity or on show days, please indicate that on your child's registration form so we can get you on board as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please email Donnah Plante (donnahmathews@live.com), Sarah Meleski (sarahmeleski@gmail.com) or Danielle Medina (daniellemedina@gmail.com).
