 A
note
about mandatory auditions:
Students
may audition after school or in class. They
may audition simply for class credit or to be seriously considered for
a role. Every
advanced drama student must audition for all school shows. This is
great practice for future job interviews! No
student is obligated to accept a role in the After school productions.
However, ALL
Drama II and III/IV students MUST participate in the one act plays
in some manner—no exceptions. This will be an evening
performance
and dates will be announced on the first day of class.
