The Music Man

Here we go! This year's play season has officially begun! We are very excited to have the opportunity to perform Meredith Wilson's The Music Man for the second time. We last performed it in 2006, so it has been a while!

Please check this site often for information and opportunities to join in the production of a fabulous show!

This year's vital audition info is on the side bar. One of our favorite things about this play is the enormous cast size and the number of songs the entire cast sings. In other words, we need all Eastwood upper-school students interested to participate. We will also be including our lower-school students a lot like we did last year. The audition is open down to Kindergarten and we are planning to let all interested participate, but their roles will largely be very minor. It will be a great time for those students to get their feet wet and catch the love for theater.

The upper-school audition workshop is very important. We don't call it a mandatory activity, but it certainly helps us prepare your children to do their best. We can answer questions, give them tips, and help them develop their theater skills. It's a really fun afternoon that can only help them in their pursuit of a role.
We ask that you prayerfully consider encouraging your child to participate. We have the mentality of the more the merrier, so send them our way! There will be a spot for them-we need dancers, singers, actors, painters, organizers, builders, movers, advertisers, everything!

Please contact us with any questions at wdavidgivens@yahoo.com. We can't wait to see what this year's production will be like!

Please take a moment and look at the post below to get a taste of what our shows are like!
