Winter Musical January 2-4 & 9-11 Lil Red & The Good, The Bad, and The Fuzzy FAQ How should I prepare for my audition? In order to be considered, students should be well prepared for their auditions. We will have students present a monologue, sing a portion of a song, and read from the script. See the buttons on the left of this to download the necessary materials. Students will also learn a choreography piece and will audition in a group format prior to callbacks. See this video with audition materials on left. It is recommended students present themselves first (Hello, my name is ----- and I will be presenting....). It is also highly recommended they have their materials memorized and that they feel confident in their presentation. This means preparing several days in advance and not just prior to their audition. When are rehearsals? Tentative Schedule GBF: October 25: 10-11:30 Read Thru Fridays 6:30-9:00 Nov. 7, 14, 21, Dec. 5, 12, 19 Daytime hours: Dec. 20, 22, 23, 27, 29, 30, 31 Shows: Possibly Jan. 2-4 or Jan. 8-11 If second weekend of January, additional rehearsals: Jan. 5-7 4:30-8:30.

This original musical follows the footsteps of this great priest and how he helped the homeless boys of Omaha beginning in 1917. Intertwined with music and dance, his story is told through his own eyes, with the influence of his upbringing in Ireland.
