    • About The Program

    The Junior Theatre Troupe is open to students who have completed grades 5 through 8. They rehearse Monday-Thursday at Cambridge Middle School from 1:00-4:00. The goal of the program is to expose students to theatre and the various aspects that go into creating a full musical production. Students will learn the basics of singing, acting, and dancing as well as many other things.

    The Junior Theatre Troupe will continue their tradition of presenting quality musicals this year, with their production of Singin’ in the Rain, Jr. This stage version of the classic 1950’s movie musical (considered by many as the best movie musical ever made) will be a treat to before and to watch. We guarantee a good time for everybody involved.

    Auditions

    All middle school students who register for the Junior Theatre Troupe will be in the show, however everybody must go through the audition process. Auditions are used to cast leads and smaller parts in the production. Those not receiving speaking parts, will be part of the chorus. Nobody who registers will be denied the opportunity to perform. We will spend the first two days of rehearsal going over the audition pieces and preparing students for those auditions. On the third day we will hold auditions and the next day post the cast list of roles and chorus.

    Rehearsals and Expectations

    Rehearsals will take place from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm Monday through Thursday. A calendar of specific rehearsal requirements will be provided at the first day of rehearsal and a full schedule of events and rehearsals will be posted on the website. Rehearsals for the first few weeks will be held at Cambridge Middle School and move to Cambridge-Isanti High School the Monday before performances.

    Also, note that attendance at the three performances of “I Sing the Body Electric” during the high school production of Godspell is required. This final song is a unifying aspect of the program, and it is expected that all middle school and high school Summer Youth Theatre participants attend.

    Registration will CLOSE on MAY 4th.

    *Registration for all performers is $120. Students will also be responsible for having theatrical makeup for the performances. Play Inc will have makeup that can be purchased during the summer sessions.
