A November 6 update regarding the production of Finding Nemo outlines several upcoming dates for students and parents. The update includes details for a musical theater workshop, group auditions, and scheduled performances.
A Finding Nemo: Intro to Musical Theater workshop is scheduled for Friday, November 20, after school from 1:30 to 3:00. This workshop, suggested by Disney, aims to provide students an idea of participating in the show by introducing the plot and characters, practicing singing, acting, and dancing, developing an ensemble sense, and assessing student interests and strengths. All three directors will be present to work on these goals.
A parent meeting is scheduled for Friday, November 20, from 3:00 to 3:30, immediately following the workshop. The meeting will cover practice and performance schedules. Parents will be asked to sign up to assist with the production, as each participating student's parent is asked to help with two or more tasks.
Group auditions are scheduled to take place after school from 3:30 to 4:30 on the following dates:
Tuesday, December 8, for all fourth graders
Wednesday, December 9, for all fifth graders
