ANOTHER SHOW FAMILY IS BORN - SEUSSICAL!



Casting Notice


Congratulations on completing a wonderful set of auditions!  We have so many options of how to stage the play and create the world of Seuss, with an ensemble of really srtong singers, dancers  and actors.  I’m excited about the process!  Read on for all the info you need to get the ball rolling!


  • There is a signature line next to the names – go to the STAGE callboard in the music hallway and sign there by your name to accept your role.
  • All accepted cast members are currently academically eligible – but you must maintain that by keeping a 2.0 for the 2nd quarter, no more than 1 E.  I will talk with you individually if I think you’re at risk of losing your spot due to grades.
  • All assignments are tentative pending payment of ECA fees.  Check with your parents, and if you have NOT paid your ECA fee see me to get the form you have to send in to MCPS.
  • Any part of your audition file  that is not complete needs to be turned in  by the first day back, January 4
    • Application form from google docs (http://goo.gl/forms/JJJ2Anmwxr)
    • Resume updated with your latest credits
    • Signed contract (see me for a copy)
    • Update VSM with all contact info for parents, including phone numbers, addresses and email addresses)
  • CONFLICTS should be entered into the system by December 31.  Enter any confirmed conflict for any event between 2:30 and 10pm on school days and 9am – 3pm Saturday.  Do not enter conflicts for any date after   March 1 without clearing it with me in advance
  • We’ll have our first read-through on Monday, January 11 at 6:00 pm in the auditorium – mandatory for all cast and crew chiefs, optional for crew members.   This is always a fun experience for all!
  • Script books will be issued to all principal characters – they are RENTED so you may NOT  highlight in them  - mark in pencil only .  Principals may pick up a script to take home for the break (Cat, Jojo, Horton, Gertrude, Mayzie, Kangaroo, Mayor, Mrs Mayor, General, Wickershams, Bird Girls.  Yertle and Grinch  may also pick up a script.
  • CREW CHIEF personnel are expected at the readthrough.  Be prepared to take notes about ideas that I’ll present and things that come to you.
  • There are a couple of open chief positions – see me if you are interested.  Positions helmed by seniors will need to have an assistant assigned, to learn the ropes for next year!
  • UNDERSTUDIES will be assigned for each principal role – that will be determined by the end of the break.
  • The ENSEMBLE TRACKS explained:
    • The JUNGLE CITIZENS live in the Jungle of Nool and are the primary companions of Horton the Elephant.  You’ll be given animal assignments later.
    • The WHOVILLE CITIZENS live on the dust speck and are the primary companions of Jojo.  You’ll be sorted into families.
    • The SPECIALTY ENSEMBLE are primarily dance-centric performers who will fulfill a variety of roles – they won’t have to sing quite as much, but will be used to fill in a variety of roles – Thing 1 and Thing 2, Hunters, Circus performers, extra soldiers, fish, Hunches, etc.
