audition today! Email: sclark@communityparkdistrict.org.
For
anyone who loves to sing, dance, act, or who just has a flare for
the dramatics. This is a unique musical production for kids ages
6-10 where we will cast 2 groups of 12 to create their own
socially distant musical story to be performed for a live outdoor
audience! Each cast will rehearse separately and choose their
favorite songs from the radio along with the specific characters
they want to play. During rehearsals we will develop a story with
these songs and characters by guiding our actors to make character
choices that will create a plot, conflict, and excitement! Will our
characters go inside the spooky mansion or will they visit a fairy
tale world? Will your character be the hero or the villain?
Together we will find answers to these questions to create our own
unique musicals!

Introducing the Footlight Players very first musical production for
tweens and young adults! We are looking for creative, outgoing,
and team spirited young people to write and create our own original
jukebox musical featuring some of our favorite songs from the
radio. Very similar to shows like GLEE or movies like
Pitch Perfect we are going to create a story that uses music
from artists ranging from Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, or even
Queen! Throughout rehearsals we will guide our actors to create
their own original characters and choose songs that will create a
socially distant story to be performed for a live outdoor audience.
Whether they like to sing, dance, act, or write stories this
one-of-a-kind musical is the one for you!
