Frequently asked questions

Can I choose my backstage part?

Yes, you will need to sign up online and when we have a meeting together you will tell me which specific role you would like to do. If we have lots of people wanting the same roles you may not be able to do your chosen role, but we will be fair.

My character isn’t in the audition pack script, can I still audition for them?

Yes, the audition pack is just to demonstrate your ability. You can specify which character in the audition and when you sign up online.

Can I audition for Peter Pan/hook/ any ‘male’ character if I am a girl?

Yes, you can audition for ANY ROLE you want to.

I need help choosing my character, will you help me decide?

I will take your choice into consideration, however, if I feel you would be better as a different character you will be cast as that role.

How will I know when my audition is?

Your audition notice will be on the music room notice board. 

What if I miss my audition time?

Unless you have been absent from school you might not get a chance to audition for the show (if we do not have enough time). You need to show your organisation skills and remember your time slot!

I can’t make ANY of the rehearsals?

Unfortunately, you will be required to be available for rehearsal days. We want you to feel 100% confident and if you are missing rehearsals you will be missing key information and time rehearsing with others in that scene.

I might have to miss a rehearsal?

We understand that sometimes you may not be able to attend a rehearsal, and this can’t always be avoided. If you are unable to come, please let the office and Mrs Savage know as soon as possible, giving as much notice as you can.

It is important to attend rehearsals regularly so that you can learn your lines, know what you are doing, and keep up with everyone else. If you miss too many rehearsals, we may need to give your lines or role to another pupil.

We also need everyone to come prepared and ready to take part. If we feel that you are not learning your lines or are unsure of what you need to do, we may need to ask you to step back from the production.

What happens if I already have a club on a Wednesday?

You will only be able to be involved with the production on a Wednesday but you are able to be involved with clubs on other days. 

What does the dance/singing captain do?

If you have one of these roles, you will be expected to know the dances/ songs confidently and be able to lead and assist others. You will lead warmups and make sure everyone knows their part. You might need to help others during lunchtime if they were ill and missed a rehearsal. Your role is to positively motivate and helps others to smile, sing loud and enjoy the show!

What is required with sound/lighting operation?

You will assist the teacher in charge and help to follow the script, giving cues and using the sound/ lighting desks. Each role is slightly different and you can learn more when we have a meeting.

What is marketing and promotion?

Marking and promoting the show, you might need to create poster & programs. You will help on the night and give out programs, raffle etc, you are representing the school in front of the audience.

What is pupil prompt?

You will read through the script when others are rehearsing and make notes where they have gone wrong. You will run line learning sessions and help the teacher in charge by following along in the script.

What is pupil stage manager?

You will help the teacher by keeping a list of set changes, and moving furniture and set in-between scenes. You will help organise the groups of children needed on the stage and will be responsible for keeping backstage quiet and relaxed.

What happens if I change my mind?

If you change your mind and no longer want to be involved in the performance (backstage or onstage), you must tell Mrs Savage directly. It is your responsibility to come and ‘quit’.

What happens if I cannot make a rehearsal?

Please report to Mrs Savage as soon as you can, this will help if any changes need to be made for the rehearsal. It gives time to make different plans.
