FMT Casting Announcement for "The Music Man"

Family Music Theatre is proud to announce casting for our Summer 2008 production of The Music Man! We had a wonderful turnout for auditions, and were very impressed by the level of talent and growth that we have seen in so many of you.  There were roles that were agonized over in the casting decision because we couldn’t have multiple people playing one part!

For those that were cast:

Our first cast meeting is Monday night, May 5th at 7:00 pm in the Performance Hall. Please plan to arrive early to allow time for parking and the long walk.  We will be filling out forms and doing chorus rehearsing that night, so please bring a pencil and pen with you for those.  As you saw on the tentative rehearsal calendar at auditions, rehearsals are beginning in earnest right away.  Please plan accordingly.  We will need ALL available time due to the short preparation period!

Registration for the summer classes is currently going on, and registration information is attached with this e-mail.  While registration does run through June 8th, we need to get as many signed up for the class as soon as possible. Remember the course IS the production.  There are no other meetings other than rehearsals, workdays, and performances. Much of our budget for our shows comes from the class registrations we have from our shows, so we really need your follow-through with this.

Thank you again for auditioning for us. We hope to see you back in the future!

 

Sincerely,

David Johns for

Casting Announcement - Little Women

Family Music Theatre is proud to announce casting for our Spring 2008 production of Little Women! We had a wonderful turnout for auditions, and were very impressed by the level of talent and growth that we have seen in so many of you.  There were roles that were agonized over in the casting decision because we couldn’t have multiple people playing one part!

Our first cast meeting is Monday night, January 14th at 7:00 pm in the Performance Hall. Please plan to arrive early to allow time for parking and the long walk.  That is also the first day of classes, so expect a full parking lot.

Registration is currently going on, and with a small cast, we need as many of you sign up for the class as possible.   Registration information is attached with this e-mail.  Late registration runs through Wednesday, January 17th, so please get signed up for the class as soon as possible.

For those who were not cast this time: if you indicated on your audition form that you would like to help in the show with sets, costumes, or lighting, we will be contacting you at a later date for those things. If you didn’t indicate that you would like to help, but are interested, just let us know and we will add you to that list.

Thank you again for auditioning for us. We hope to see you back in the future!
