Main Street Academy Spring 2023
Spring 2023 Main Street Academy Semester
For the Spring 2023 semester, the academy students will be producing and performing, The Rainbow Fish Musical!
Dates
Ten sessions on Saturdays from 1:30pm to 5:30pm starting on March 11, 2023 and ending on May 13, 2023.
Week 1
First day of class will be auditions! Please come prepared with a 16-bar cut or one minute of a musical theater or Disney song. Not everyone has to audition! You can pass on singing if you would like an ensemble role or stage crew.
After auditions the children will take a snack break while the directors decide if they want to call anyone back for roles. While auditions and callbacks are going on, students will learn about the stage crew side of things and plan what they might like to do. After the first class, the show will be cast and the schedule will be sent out. EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP GETS A ROLE IF THEY WANT ONE.
Weeks 2 - 10
The rehearsal schedule will vary, but everyone will be working together to make our show a reality! Week 2 will start with a table read where all the students will read through the show and start brainstorming ideas for the design. After our design meeting, it’s time to get to work! When not rehearsing with directors, students will work downstairs in classrooms to build set pieces, props, costumes, lighting design, sound cues and more! Students will decide what each character’s costume will look like, what the set should be, what props they will need, and what the lights should look like. Students will work with Main Street Theatre Company crew members to learn how to design and execute a show on the technical end. Weeks 8 and 9 will consist of tech and dress rehearsals until our shows go up at 3pm and 6pm on week 10!
