Student, parent, and teacher volunteers have given their time,
energy, and creativity to put on a school musical play for the
past several years. Fourth and fifth graders who have an
interest in performing may audition and perform. Auditions are
held in January. In February rehearsals begin for the
performance in March. Tech crew members assist in preparing sets
and backdrops, operating sound and lights, and various technical
tasks on and about the stage. For the past 5 productions there
have been about 80 students taking part in the cast and crew,
with many parent volunteers, and volunteer music direction by
the school vocal music staff. Due to the popularity of the shows
it has become necessary to perform on two evenings.
Plays for the last few years have included:
2008 –The Magical Land of Oz, based on the book by Frank
Baum
2006 – Peter Pan, the Broadway version
2005 – The Wind in the Willows, based on the book by
Kenneth Grahame
2004 – How to Eat Like a Child, based on the book by Della
Ephron, consisting of 22 lessons on how to behave like a child.
2003 – Free to Be...You and Me, based on the book by
Marlow Thomas.
