REHEARSAL
Participants are expected & agree to attend all scheduled rehearsals or tech work sessions at which their presence is required, and
understand that two unexcused absences from scheduled rehearsals may result in my dismissal from the show.
Also, that a failing grade in any one subject may result in a participant being removed from the cast.
Additionally, absence from the school day means any cast or crew member may not attend a scheduled crew work session, rehearsal or
performance.
Known conflicts (in addition to those submitted at auditions) must be submitted in writing to Ms. Hinkel and Ms. Jennings by Nov 21st. NO
additional conflicts will be accepted after this date. Participants will notify the stage manager if some emergency or illness necessitates
missing or being late for a scheduled rehearsal at which attendance is required.
ALL Cast & Crew should note that missing a performance day is unacceptable & that student will be removed from the production at any point
if they cannot attend a performance.
Cast members are required to be team players. The cast & crew work together as one unit. No one is exclusive or elite.

Little Women Audition Materials:
The story:
Based on Louisa May Alcott's own family experiences (and novel),Little Women, follows the adventures
of Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March as they grow up in Civil War America. The beloved story of the March sisters is timeless
and deals with issues as relevant today as when they were written. Now, this wonderful narrative has been brought to life
as an exhilarating new musical filled with glorious music, dancing and heart. Little Women embodies the complete
theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears, and a lifting of the spirit. This powerful score soars
with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope -- the sounds of a young America finding its voice. In years to
come, we are sure that hundreds of productions by schools and theatres throughout the world will make this stage
adaptation of the American classic novel a classic musical theatre treasure in its own right.
The Characters:
AMY MARCH
AUNT MARCH
BETH MARCH
JO MARCH
LAURIE LAURENCE
MARMEE MARCH
MEG MARCH
MR. JOHN BROOKE
PROFESSOR BHAER
MRS KIRK
