Spring Musical - "Jonah's Druthers"
The musical will be May 20 at the 9:30 & 11am services
This will be the first time we’ve ever attempted a Western—yee-hah!
“Jonah’s Druthers” tells the story of Jonah and the Whale—in the Wild, Wild West. Kids from 2nd grade and up are invited to try out. They will read excerpts from the script in small groups, and sing “Happy Birthday” or any song they want to sing. Rest assured that try-outs will be as painless as possible. Younger kids will mainly get chorus parts (very important in a musical!) and older kids will get speaking roles.
For your information, we are planning on a total of 28 hours of rehearsal beginning in mid-February through mid-May, leading to the show’s performance at both services on May 20. The bulk of that rehearsal time will be at weekly rehearsals on Tuesday nights from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm in Ruth Hall, and several 3-hour rehearsals on Sunday afternoons after church. A copy of the rehearsal schedule will be available at tryouts this Sunday.
Hope to see your kids—especially older kids and boys in general—at tryouts this Sunday! If you have any questions, let me know at GeoffG@arcolachurch.org !
