Little Mermaid General Information

We are so excited to announce our next Monte Vista theater production of The Little Mermaid. Like last year, this will be an after-school enrichment program! Due to the great success of and participation in our past two plays, I anticipate an even larger number of students interested in participating.  I’ve decided that I need to hold auditions.  I wish I could take everyone, but I fear that I will have somewhere around a hundred students auditioning.  

Being part of a theatrical production is an important commitment.  Just like sports or other group activities, your castmates are like teammates.  Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, beginning Tuesday, September 10th and they run through the end of March.  Your child may not be needed at every rehearsal.  I have linked a draft schedule here for you to look at:  Mermaid Rehearsal Schedule Draft If cast, I will provide a more detailed schedule.   If you are not at rehearsal it affects all of the other actors who are in the scene with you.  By accepting a role in the show, you are committing to being at every rehearsal, unless you are previously informed.  Actors cannot miss more than three rehearsals throughout the whole production.  If there are more than three absences, students may be removed from the production.  If there are serious extenuating circumstances, I will consider them on a case by case basis. 

Parents must also ensure that they will pick up their child on time from every rehearsal.  I also have a child that I need to pick up, so if you are late, it affects me personally.

Lastly, cast members are expected to be well-behaved at all times. I like to cast as many kids as I possibly can, but I can’t produce a great production if I am constantly being interrupted to monitor student behavior.  Parents will be notified if a problem arises.  Depending on the severity of the event, I hope that I will be able to give them a second chance.  Consistent behavior issues will result in the child being removed from the production.  I hope that you will go over all of the expectations with your child and let them know that by accepting a role, they are committing to attendance and behavior guidelines.

If your child is cast, I will have a mandatory parent meeting to answer any questions and go over expectations.  One of the things that made our last production such a great experience was the commitment and involvement of parents.  I am so grateful for the many people who stepped up to help.  Monte Vista has parents with amazing and diverse talents that contributed to the experience.

Before auditioning, please look over the linked rehearsal schedule draft so that I can be notified about any important conflicts. 

Please contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns about the program. 

Thank you!
