ABOUT THE SHOW-

Disney's Winnie the Pooh KIDS is a delightful show based on the beloved characters of A.A. Milne and the 2011 Disney animated feature film. Featuring favorite songs from the film, as well as new hits by the Academy Award-winning Robert and Kristen Lopez (Frozen), this honey-filled delight is as sweet as it is fun.

Welcome to the Hundred Acre Wood, where Winnie the Pooh is once again in search of honey. Along the way, he meets his pals, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit and Owl, but soon discovers that Christopher Robin has been captured by the mysterious Backson! As they prepare for a rescue operation, the animals learn about teamwork, friendship and, of course... sharing snacks.

Auditions

On the first day of class, students will be taught a song and a short dance combination. No need to prepare anything in advance!

There will be no parent meeting for this cast, however, your directors will be in touch by email with any important information pertaining to the show weekly.

ABOUT THE SHOW-

Bye Bye Birdie is a timeless musical that captures the essence of teenage dreams, celebrity culture, and small-town charm. Set in the 1950s, the story follows rock 'n' roll heartthrob Conrad Birdie as he gets drafted into the army, leaving his adoring fans distraught. The show revolves around the uproar caused by Conrad's farewell performance and the chaos that ensues, including romantic entanglements and comedic misunderstandings. With catchy tunes, energetic dance numbers, and fun characters, Bye Bye Birdie offers a fantastic opportunity to dive into a nostalgic era of music and laughter, while also exploring themes of love, fame, and growing up.
