- Due to our Guild Builders Production of Aladdin Jr. being performed in January 2019, we have decided to open our 2018-2019 schedule of events with two Auditions Workshops. These workshops will be held on Saturday, October 13th from 9am and 12pm and Saturday, October 20th from 9am to 12pm. The first workshop will focus on the basics of theatre and the second workshop will focus on preparing for the Aladdin Jr. auditions scheduled for Oct. 21st and 22nd. Please register for these workshops by clicking OCT. 13 AUDITION WORKSHOP and OCT. 20 AUDITION WORKSHOP.
- Our Second Saturday Workshop Series will continue into the 2018-2019 Season. We have decided to delay the start of the Second Saturday schedule because there will be two opportunities for Guild Builders to participate in shows: A Christmas Story - The Musical will audition August 19, 20, and 21 and will require about 12 children. A Christmas Story will open November 16th and run for 4 weekends. Aladdin Jr. will open January 18th, 2019 and run 2 weekends.
- The Second Saturday schedule will begin on Saturday, February 9th, 2019 from 9am, to 12pm and will continue on the following Second Saturdays: Saturday, March 9th, 2019; Saturday, April 13th, 2019, Saturday, May 11, 2019; amd Saturday, June 8th, 2019.
