Drama Club Parent Meeting
East Elementary Drama Club is proud to present Frozen Jr. for the 2019-2020 school year. For those that will be in grades 4-6 and are interested in auditioning, there will be a mandatory parent meeting on Thursday, April 4th at 7:00p.m. in the cafeteria. We are having auditions for next fall because we will be rehearsing a little over the summer. Some brief things to know before the meeting.
Auditions will be held the evenings of April 16th and 17th.
Most rehearsals are before school at 7:30 a.m. Monday-Thursday. There will be occasional Friday rehearsals. Some summer rehearsals.
Show dates are November 20th and 21st. Plus the all school show on the morning of the 22nd.
If you are a 6th grade band student, you may participate in both.
We will be hosting an audition workshop on April 13th.
