Auditions for the School Play

 

Dear Parents of Grade 2 & 3 Students,

We are very excited to begin our rehearsals and practices for our Spring Production which will be held, Covid dependent, on April 21, 2022 in the evening. If Covid regulations do not allow for an in-person performance, it will be recorded and sent to parents to enjoy as a family.

We are giving grade 2 and 3 students the opportunity to audition for a speaking part in this production. If your child is interested in auditioning and you are NOT going to be away for any extended absences/holidays between Jan 10 - April 21, please have your child memorize the line on the following page from our upcoming play, Willy Wonka.

They will have the opportunity to share their line, with expression and in a projected voice, on the following dates:

Rm 4, 16, 17 on Monday January 17

Rm 5, 6, 18 on Tuesday January 18

Rm 7, 8, 19 on Thursday, January 20

Rm 3, 14, 15 on Monday January 24

Once auditions are completed, students will be notified if they have received a speaking part and receive their script to practice at home no later than January 26. Practices will happen at school during various lunch hours until the production in April.

See the next page, for audition instructions and lines to memorize.

Thank you for your help and support as we prepare for this production. We look forward to seeing all of you as parents on April 21 as all students at LRD will be performing throughout the evening.

Audition Script

Practice the lines below. Be prepared to act it out for your audition. You are not auditioning for a specific role. These lines will give us an idea of your strengths in acting, to be considered for any role in the play. Please be very enthusiastic so we can see your full potential!

Violet:

I’m a gum chewer, normally, but when I heard about Wonka’s contest, I laid off the gum and switched to candy bars. Now of course I’m right back on gum. In fact, I’ve been working on this piece for over three months solid. I’ve beaten the record set by my best friend, Miss Cornelia Prinzmetal. Hi Cornelia, listen to this…

(Violet chews loudly into the microphone)

Violet:

That’s the sound of you losing! Listen some more…

(Violet chews even more loudly, adding smacks and pops.)

___________________________________________________________________

Thank you for auditioning for the play! Remember, even if you don’t get an acting role, you will still be part of the production singing songs with your class.

Reminder:

Auditions will be held at lunch, during your “outside time.” Students in grade 3 will come to the Gym office as soon as lunch starts, then go back to class to eat. Students in grade 2 will eat their lunch, then come to the Gym office for their audition.

The audition schedule is as follows:

Rm 4, 16, 17 on Monday January 17

Rm 5, 6, 18 on Tuesday January 18

Rm 7, 8, 19 on Thursday, January 20
