Welcome to the 2020 - 2021
|
We are excited to announce that we will have a Spring 2021 musical! The musical will be streamed rather than performed for a live audience due to Covid-19 restrictions. We will be performing Annie Jr. The streaming date has not been determined yet, but once we finalize the details we will post them here.
Since there were no club sign ups this year, we are opening up the auditions to any student at Penn Middle School. Auditions will NOT be held after school like they have been in the past. Students can audition in person, or submit a video audition. All students wanting to audition must pre-register by emailing the drama club at pennmiddledrama@gmail.com with AUDITION in the subject line. In the email please let us know the student's name, grade, parents name, parent's phone number, and if you want to audition in person or submit a video audition. Once you have registered online, we will send complete audition information by email. In person auditions will be held March 10, March 11, and March 12 (if needed) in the Penn Middle School cafeteria from 6:30 - 8:30 in the evening. We will be staggering groups to help with social distancing. For both the video and in person auditions, students will be expected to sing a musical theatre style song by themselves, without any backing vocals. Students can bring or use a music backing track without additional vocals. All email registrations MUST be received by Tuesday, March 9.
Unlike our past shows, we cannot guarantee that everyone who auditions will get a part in the show. It has always been our philosophy that Drama Club exists so that anyone with an interest can experience being part of the cast or crew. Unfortunately Covid-19 restrictions make this impossible for this show. We will only have one cast, and it will be limited to the number of roles in the show. We will pick a small group of students for stage crew for the show. If a student is interested in being part of the stage crew, please email the drama club at the above email with 'STAGE CREW' in the subject line.
Rehearsals will be done virtually, when possible, but there will be in person rehearsals. Everyone attending rehearsals will be expected to follow the same protocol in place during the school day. Social distancing and mask wearing is a must. Rehearsals will be held in the evening from 6:00 - 8:00pm. We will also have some Saturday morning rehearsals also.
Once we are ready to perform the show, the drama club will provide masks for the filming. We plan on using clear masks, fabric masks, and/or face shields that will still enable us to put a mic on the students so that they can be heard during the "performance."
Our plan is to record the show and stream it to our virtual audience. The date has not been determined yet. As soon as we do, we will post information here. The show will be recorded in May, during the school year most likely if the cast is ready.
Please be patient with us as we navigate these new waters. This will be the first show that we have been able to stream and we expect a few hiccups along the way, but nothing that we can't overcome.
We are excited to get started on this adventure!
