SLEEPING BEAUTY

The Spring Play is Sleeping Beauty by Stacey Lane.  It is appropriate for family members of all ages, especailly 4-8 years old!  
In this twist on the beloved fairy tale, a traditional storyteller reading from his all too well-known book of Sleeping Beauty is quickly usurped by the story's feisty villain, the evil Griselda. With a magical spell, she literally turns back the hands of time to show what really happened to "Sleeping Betty." Fortunately, two good fairies and a magical frog help set the story straight, and make sure everyone lives happily ever after.

Tickets are $7.00, and they are available at the door or in the student activities office.  Call (847) 486-4672.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• If I audition for the chorus, is it possible to be cast in a lead role? Sing what you’re comfortable with. If you sing for the chorus, we may decide to ask you to sing for a lead role at callbacks. Likewise, if you sing for a lead role, that doesn’t mean you won’t be considered for the chorus if you don’t get a callback for a lead role. 
• I consider myself to be an “actor who sings” rather than a “singer who acts,” and I’m concerned because I noticed that there isn’t an acting component to the audition. How can I show that I’m a great actor? There is very little dialogue in this show. The best way to show your acting skills for this show is to act through the songs. If you have the vocal chops required for the role, and show some character potential, you may have the opportunity to act at callbacks. 
• I’ve listened to the CD and all the music is so hard. I don’t think I can sing the lead roles. Should I still try out? Yes! There are many opportunities that require less vocal gymnastics than the lead roles. We need a variety of people in the show, including many dance roles, so try out! There aren’t that many lead roles in this show. 
• Will there be opportunities for features? There are vocal and dance features that may be listed on the cast list or selected once rehearsals begin. 
• I’m in not in the music or theatre programs at GBN/GBS, but I like the show and I want to be a part of it. Do I have a chance? Of course you do! Part of what is so great about this show is that it can feature a variety of vocal styles. Even if you’ve never received any formal vocal training, try out! 
• If I’m not on the callback list, does that mean I might still be cast? No. If you did not receive a callback, you are not being considered for the show. 
• How does the conflict sheet work? We ask that students fill out a conflict sheet stating up front what their expected conflicts are for the given rehearsal period. We then schedule our rehearsals around conflict and/or excuse students from rehearsals based on the conflict sheet agreement. During the last two weeks of the show, we ask that all performers work their other conflicts around the show. It takes everyone’s effort and participation to put on a great show! 
• I’ve heard that freshman never make it. Is that true? Experienced performers with more developed voices are more likely to be cast, but only one thing is certain: if you don’t try out, you won’t make it.
• What if I’m an instrumentalist or technician. Will my skills be needed for this show? Mr. Kaplan is planning to include a full pit consisting of approximately forty instrumentalists. We suggest you listen to the music online to get a sense of the show. We also are looking for technicians who can create the world Under-the-Sea set and work with lights, sound, props, costumes, makeup, and hair. 
• Anything else I should know? Ms. Robinson is having a baby sometime this spring, so Mr. Maranto will be taking over responsibilities as we go along. We are so excited to work together and to work with an awesome company
