At every audition, my belief in the tremendous talent in the students of Bexley City Schools is reaffirmed, and the auditions for this musical was no exception. Absolutely no one did poorly. The acting, singing, and dancing was simply FABULOUS! All students who auditioned should be commended for having the guts to go up on that stage in front of so many people and do such a great job. Casting this musical was extremely difficult, and we thought long and hard about every role.
In order to keep everyone safe, the cast has been limited to the amount of students we can safely have in rehearsals and on stage. This means that we have had to make heavy cuts. I have been dreading casting this musical because I am cutting not only talented actors, singers and dancers, but also students who are hard-working, dedicated, creative, collaborative people that I would love to work with.
If you were cut, please know you can still be on crew. The crew interview form is due on March 7 and crew interviews are March 9. And it seems like it's a long time away, but there will be amazing musicals and plays next year with hopefully our usual sized casts.
For those of you who made the cast, congratulations. The rehearsal calendar will be completed shortly and uploaded to a Canvas page (coming soon--all cast will be invited to join) along with the script, deadlines, links to purchase apparel, and more. Cast members will receive paper scripts and rehearsal calendars at the first rehearsal which will be after spring break. Electronic scripts and rehearsal calendars will be emailed to you soon. Please note: all students will have temperatures taken every day, wear masks, and stay 6' apart at all times. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the cast.
Please email me at rebecca.rhinehart@bexley.us if you have any questions. Thank you again to everyone who auditioned. Bexley is truly a talented place!
