Description
Hello Summer Youth Musical Actors and Families,
We are thrilled to begin the exciting process of planning this year’s Summer Youth Musical at Chandler - Oliver! The play will run from July 11-13th. We’re so excited you want to be a part of our production!
Our cast will consist of two groups, the Elementary Chorus, the Teen Chorus/Cast Leads.
The Elementary Chorus - for rising 1st graders through rising 6th graders. Elementary Chorus members will participate in three weeks of camp, from June 23-July 11, from 9:30-3:30, as well as all live performances (July 11-13). In Elementary Camp, young actors will learn theater skills through games and exercises, as well as songs and choreography for this year’s play. With a full day of camp, we’ll also get a chance to get outside in the community, with visits to the park and library, and arts and crafts activities with visiting artists. NOTE: Elementary students are NOT required to submit audition materials but are welcome to join the audition if they want to try out for a named character role (e.g. Oliver or the Artful Dodger).
The Teen Chorus and Cast Leads - for rising 7th graders through graduated seniors. All members of the Chorus and Leads will participate in three weeks of camp from June 22-July 11, as well as all performances (July 11-13). Teen campers will experience working with a professional director, music director and choreographer. All teen members of the cast must audition in order to take part in the Summer Youth Musical. In-person auditions will take place Saturday, March 8th from 10AM - 3PM at Chandler. Those auditioning are required to perform a song for the character of their choice, a dance number set by choreographer Jennifer Page Stickney, as well as scene reads set by director Grace Collins. For anyone unable to make this day, video submissions will be accepted between March 8-23rd.
Because of all the interconnected logistics of producing a play of this magnitude, it is essential that our actors in all groups can commit to regular attendance for all three weeks of camp. All actors MUST be present for the full week of tech rehearsals (July 7-10). For the first two weeks of camp, a maximum of two absences is permitted. Further absences may result in an inability to perform in the show. Theater is truly a group effort, and everyone is important to the production!
Camp costs are:
$375 for Early Bird Registration (before March 31st)
$450 for Regular Registration (April 1-April 7)
REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS APRIL 7th. Participants who register after this date (space pending) will automatically be assigned to the chorus.
For any questions about registration or camp details, please contact Grace Collins at youthmusical@chandler-arts.org
Note: Registration form and audition material may be submitted at separate times, as long as they both meet the April 7th deadline.
