♥♥♥Directors’ Note♥♥♥
We are extremely proud of everyone who tried out for a part in the show!
We got 120 audition forms!!! So competition was extremely fierce for the 54 spots in this show.
If you didn't get a part - we love you - and NEVER GIVE UP! See you next show!
You should all be very proud of yourselves for trying out! It is extremely hard to get up in front of people and act and sing. Few people have the courage to even try out. We have so many talented singers, actors and dancers here at Birch Grove it was very hard to choose who got to be in the show. In fact, we had many more people audition than we could possibly cast. If you got a part, congratulations. If you did not, know that we think that you are a fantastic person and actor, and that we wish we had more room for you in our show. Please keep on acting and singing, and maybe we will see you on stage very soon.
Love,
Mr. Pogatshnik and Mrs. Holsen
A special note to parents...
We are very proud of each and every child who auditioned for the musical this year. The mathematical reality of not casting some of these hopeful hearts is always hard. Please know how much we love all of our students, and believe in them and their success. We are glad you chose Birch Grove for your child, where they are getting drama, music, and arts opportunities as an integral part of the curriculum every day. If your child was cast, please remind them to show Empathy to those who were not. For those who were not cast this year, please hug them and remind them that we know they are learning and growing, and we can't wait to see their amazing skills next year and into the future. Theater can teach us how to deal with not getting what we want all the time, and to be Assertive in bettering ourselves until we reach our goals as artists and people. This is only the beginning of your child's life as an artist.
We are thrilled to be a part of it every day we teach.
