Announcing our Cast and Solos for "Arrest These Merry Gentlemen"

What an AMAZING group of kids we have this year! Around 35 kids auditioned this year!!! So much talent from everyone, too! We were very impressed by how prepared some of you were...it was clear that you all worked very hard! We sure had an extremely difficult task ahead of us. These decisions were NOT easy to come by. Everyone did exceptionally well this year which made this even harder. I wish that we could give everyone the part that they want, but unfortunately we have to consider a lot of factors when choosing someone to play a role.

Some of the things that we considered when making these decisions are 1) the age of the child. While we have many talented kids of all ages, some of our kids are in choir for the last year and we want to make sure that the kids who are about to age out of choir get to participate as much as possible. 2) How the child fits into the role. 3) Whether or not the child has already had the opportunity to have a considerable role in the past. We like for everyone to gain as much experience as possible and try to be fair in giving everyone a shot. If a child did not receive the part that they auditioned for, it in no way means that they were not good enough for the part...in fact, the opposite is true. In some cases we had 10+ people audition for the same role. In any case, all roles are equally as important in the telling of our story. We couldn't put on such a show without each and every child involved. We hope that no one is discouraged or upset if they were not selected for the part they auditioned for. We will all have a great time together! For most of you, there's always next year!!! :)
