At every audition, my belief in the tremendous talent of students at Bexley City Schools is reaffirmed, and the auditions for this musical were no exception. Absolutely no one did poorly, and the acting, singing, and dancing talents displayed were 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.
99 fourth and fifth grade students auditioned for roles in Finding Nemo, which is nearly double the amount that auditioned for the musical last year. Unfortunately with such a large number, it is necessary to limit the cast to the amount of students we can safely have in rehearsals and on stage. This means we had to make heavy cuts, including those who are extremely talented, hard-working and amazing. I hope you will continue your theatre journey at Bexley by auditioning for the grade 4-5 play in the spring.
We are working on the rehearsal calendar and will email it as soon as possible.
The first rehearsal is Thursday, August 24th from 3:45-5:00PM.
Pictures for the program are scheduled be taken on Friday, August 25th starting at 3:45PM, and students can leave as soon as their pictures are taken.
Students should meet in the Schottenstein Theater for both days.
Email rebecca.rhinehart@bexley.us and william.bowman@bexley.us if you have any questions or need to miss the first rehearsal or picture day. Thank you again to everyone who auditioned. Bexley is truly a talented place!
