Annual Musical

Congratulations to everyone who auditioned for The Lightning Thief! The Production Team and I are so excited to have you on board and I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running since you’ll have your scripts all summer!

If you do not wish to accept your role or would like to discuss it further, please reach out at zieglerz@dsha.info. If I don’t hear from you by Tuesday, June 4, it will be assumed that you accept your role.

If you were not at callbacks and need a script, they will be available in the DSHA front office during normal business hours anytime over the summer.

We will be having an ensemble-only audition the week of August 26. If you know of any students (including boys from area high schools) who would still like to join our cast, please let them know there will be one more opportunity.

Our first rehearsal will be Tuesday, September 3 from 4:30-7:00 in the Choir Room followed by our mandatory parent meeting. Look for a detailed schedule to come out the first week of school (August 19).

In the meantime, all cast members and their families should join our Band for updates over the summer.

Finally, thank you all for coming to auditions and callbacks so well-prepared and for being so professional. You truly made this decision difficult, and I commend you for that.

Here’s to a great show! See y’all in September!
