About This Activity
Kids Musical Theatre at CHIME (Thursday) Experience: All experience levels are encouraged to enroll! Rehearsals: 2nd-8th Graders: Performers will rehearse every Thursday from 3-5 pm. (5-5:30p will be utilized for specialty roles each week). Auditions & Casting: Each performer who enrolls will perform in TWO casts. One cast will be their main show (featured role with lines, a solo, duet, or special feature) and an ensemble show (general dancing and singing in all group numbers). Some performers will be cast in age-appropriate featured roles that they will perform twice. We will hold in-person auditions on Monday, February 5th from 3-5 pm at CHIME (a specific time slot will be assigned to each performer) and video auditions will be accepted for any performer who is unable to attend the in-person audition. All auditions will be due by February 5th at 6pm. Program Duration: Spring Semester (February - May) Shows will perform during the first weekend of May. Session Capacity We are able to enroll 40 kids into the program. A waitlist will open after the first 40 kids are enrolled. If no spaces open up, waitlisted kids may be allowed to participate as ensemble-only participants. What Happens In Rehearsals? Kids will work in an interactive and creative environment where they will be taught singing, dancing, acting, and choreography specific to the musical being rehearsed. Who Teaches The Kids? Our program is directed by Alyssa Dvorak (BFA from NYU) and led by our Artistic Director, Jessica Alexander, (MFA Acting, New School University), and supported by a number of directors and choreographers who are skilled in various aspects of theatre and performance.
