A Midsummer Night's Rock Details:
We create a role for every child participating! Auditions are held June 11-13 or by video.
Click here to sign up for an audition time!
Kids who have never been in an RPL musical or class are preferred to audition in person, if possible. Auditions are casual, fun and are designed to be empowering experiences! Ms Marney asks the kids to sing a song of their choice, to get a sense of their voice to help cast the show. As always, everyone who auditions gets a part!
Rehearsal Times:
We do our very best to accommodate busy summer schedules! Each family submits a list of schedule conflicts, which plays a role in casting into different groups. If your kids want to do both summer shows, we will work with you to create rehearsal schedules that are manageable for both kids AND parents! :-) Full schedule will be available on the first rehearsal so you can plan ahead.
Regular rehearsals are June 18-July 3, Tues, Wed, Thursday 12:00-2:00. We build the rehearsal schedule around the families participating, but most roles will rehearse 2x a week for the 3 weeks before production week. No rehearsal on July 4. Rehearsals are held at our summer location, the Dallas Elks Lodge in Lake Highlands (near Richardson.)
Production week (evening rehearsals only, starting at 5:30): July 9, 10, 11, held at Dallas Children's Theater
Performances:
Friday July 12 & Saturday July 13 @ 6:30pm
