Attention 4th and 5th grade parents!
 
The time has come!  Today we are releasing registration materials for this year's spring musical, The Lion King, Jr.  Details on registration itself are included in the registration packet which is now available online HERE.  Printed copies will be available in the office by 9am today.
 
We have a couple of notes leading up to this year’s musical:
  • We are still in need of a 4th grade parent to work alongside and shadow this year’s producers as a co-producer. Grab a friend and sign up together!  This is how we ensure continuity from year to year, and it is a great learning opportunity.  This also guarantees placement for your child in the musical (specific roles are determined by the theater company).  Email musical@normanrockwellpta.org if you are interested.
  • Any parent who signs up to be a committee chair by 5:00pm Thursday, January 30 will be guaranteed placement for your child in the musical (specific roles are determined by the theater company).  A list of committees are included in the registration materials (there are 9 available).  Email musical@normanrockwellpta.org if you are interested.
  • In the spirit of over-communication, we want to draw your attention that our students will be performing the scene where Scar accuses Simba of Mufasa’s death.  Consider this when deciding whether your child should participate.  This scene includes lines like the following:
    • “It’s your fault he’s dead”
    • “No! I’m not a murderer.”
    • “But here’s my little secret.  I killed Mufasa.”
    • “You don’t deserve to live.”
A few registration highlights all of which are included in the packet but deserve calling out:
  • Scholarships are available for those with financial need.
  • In order for a child to be eligible for participation, a parent/guardian is required to chaperone two rehearsals and serve on a committee.
  • Registration submission will be by email, and will begin at 8am on Monday morning, Feb 3.  Early submissions will not be accepted.
  • Mandatory parent meeting is Feb 20.  You may send a delegate.  Details in the registration packet.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our producers, Katie and Karen.
 
Thank you for your interest and participation.  We look forward to a great year for the musical!
