Hello, All.
I have finally made a decision about next season's productions.
We are going to do Grease-School Version first, Big River in June, and possibly another full production in lieu of the Summer program in August.
I have applied for the rights to Grease and there are no holds on the show, so there shouldn't be any problems. June dates at the Hope Box Theater should be secured in the next month, but the Jeanne Wagner dates are ours.
Grease performance dates will be February 26, 27, 29, March 3,4,5 2016. With the possibility of only doing 6 shows and leaving out the Mon. and Thurs. shows.
We will officially kick off the season on September 1,2015 but I want to begin dance rehearsals in August. Auditions will start Sept. 14 and I will cast the show by September 21. This production has a lot of parts-everyone will be in most of the production numbers and I have added a scene to highlight the younger girls. Younger boys will have fun with this show as well. The school version is already cleaned up.
Big River will be a smaller production, and we can't get any June dates at the Jeanne Wagner in 2016 so we will be performing at the Hope Box Theater in Kaysville at the beginning of June.
Since we can get two weekends at the Jeanne Wagner in August, I am thinking of doing a full production of something fun that will include all ages. I am still looking into the options. But, of course, it will require summer rehearsals.
Thanks. I think that all of the concerns over Grease will be handled by doing the school version- the ending doesn't change, but a least Danny ends up with a letter sweater-like the movie. In the original musical script he quits the track team.
