Performance Registration

We are so excited that Seussical Jr. will be directed by Siena junior Theia Darefsky as her capstone project! Elementary and middle school students know Theia as founder and leader of Siena's Dance Club, assistant director of Fifty-Four Things Wrong with Gwendolyn Rogers, and choreographer of last year's Matilda Jr.! As an actor, Theia has been in every Siena middle and high school production in her tenure, as well as countless musical theatre productions with the prestigious Young Artists of America, including The Prince of Egypt, Hadestown, Big Fish, and many others! 

Faculty support and supervision will be provided by Ms. Saade and Mr. Lewis.

Audition Policies

• Every student who registers online prior to Tuesday, September 8, is guaranteed a role.
• Auditions will be held at our first "rehearsal" on Tuesday, September 8th, to determine specific roles. Students agree to accept whatever role they are assigned. This is a fun ensemble show with plenty for everyone to do!
• Participating in the show is open to everyone, both singers and non-singers. A willingness to sing in a group is all that matters — this is a great supportive environment to learn new skills!
• Auditions will consist of sides (small parts from the play to memorize or read, which will be available the first day of school), and 16 bars of a song from the show.
• We will also dance and have fun at the audition! More information will be sent out in August. 

Most importantly, we will also dance and have fun at the audition!

Rehearsal Days

• Tuesdays and Thursdays 8th Period - 5:00pm* beginning Tuesday, September 8.
• Tuesday November 10 and Thursday November 12: rehearsals will go until 5:30pm

Rehearsal Conflicts

• Families will have the opportunity to give any pre-existing conflicts outside tech week on the audition sheet. (e.g., being out of town on a specific date). However, students cannot have any weekly standing conflict (e.g., volleyball every Thursday). Actors must be available on both Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. 

*Please note that in the early weeks of rehearsals, not every student will be called to each rehearsal. The "call-sheet" for each week will go out to families the Friday before.

Information on joining stage crew for sound, lighting, and set design will come later in the fall. Priority goes to students in Tech Theater club and to 8th graders.
