School Play: Dragon Tale

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be putting on a play at Harrowsmith Public School this year titled, Dragon Tale. Enthusiasm reached peak levels when scores of interested students attended our first play meeting this week. Students have now signed up for auditions, or to be a part of our tech crew or artistic team. Actors have picked up their audition pieces to practice over the weekend. Auditions will be held next week, with casting decisions made shortly thereafter.

A few things to note:

  • Actors need to audition for speaking roles (grades 3-8).
  • Any students who missed sign-up may still do so. They can add their name to the correct sign-up sheet.
  • It’s okay for a student to change their audition role choice. Students can scratch their name off one role sheet and put it onto another.
  • The audition schedule will be posted in the hallway on Monday morning.
  • “Villagers” (which are non-speaking roles) do not need to audition. They simply need to sign-up on the Villagers sheet (grades 2-8).

We hope to have our performance dates worked out soon, and we’ll let you know when they’re finalized. We’re currently aiming for mid-April.

I’ll have more information for you after next week’s excitement! In the meantime, you can stay up-to-date through our Dragon Tale website: https://dragontaleathps.weebly.com
