Our Saturdays are one of the most productive days! The entire cast gets together and completes a series of important tasks! This week our amazing set builders continued constructing the set, and our cast is super eager to get in there and start painting the set the next work day!
Monday’s rehearsal was heavily focused on vocals and perfecting the amazing songs you will hear in this musical. Our extremely talented vocal director, Mr. Hutchinson says, “ I am just ecstatic with how everyone is doing this year. It’s just amazing how hard everyone has been working and how much progress they’ve made.” He will be playing in the orchestra pit along with other talented musicians. We are so lucky to have them, music truly makes the show come to life.
The rest of the week was spent blocking and rehearsing! The students are showing true hard work and motivation through the process of this show! We give a huge thanks to the parents who help out every week!
In Footloose, I play the role of Reverend Shaw Moore. He is the minister of the town of Bomont and a leader in the community. He has been an exciting role to take on because we are so different and it’s been fun to play someone so unlike myself. Working with this cast has been nothing short of amazing, and I am so honored to be sharing my last show with all of these talented people.
