look...


The Visual and Performing Arts Department will be holding auditions for our annual Summer Theater Institute; this years’ production will be “Pippin”.

We are looking for singers, dancers, actors, actresses, stage techs and set construction crews. Students from every site may attend the auditions. To make the auditions more easily accessible for our students we are offering two more dates and locations.

We need your help to make sure that your students are aware of the auditions dates/times/locations. Please provide the information in the attached Audition Notice to your students and post a few at your site or in your classroom.

Our next audition is just around the corner; next Thursday, May 22nd at Eastlake High School.

Your time, assistance and support is very much appreciated!
