Nitschmann Dramatics

Next year's show will be announced at the Performing Arts Banquet in May.  Here are the hints:

1. It's Xanadu! Just kidding...that's the joke every year. It's not Xanadu.

2. It will be middle school level show. That means a 'Jr.' show from the MTI company or a 'Youth Edition' from the Concord company. Check out those websites so you know what middle school level shows are available.

3. Mrs. Hriniak has boxes of preview scripts in her classroom, but beware of decoy scripts.

4. Congratulations to East Hills on their production of Mean Girls Jr! We will not be following that pattern next year, though. Sorry...Fetch isn't going to happen.

5. It is a show that has not been done before at Nitschmann. See the marquees in the auditorium lobby to see all the shows we've already done.

6. There was a clue somewhere in the program booklet that we handed out to the audience for our performances of Frozen Jr.

7. No, there is not a middle school version of Hamilton, Rent, Chicago, Sweeney Todd, Miss Saigon, Avenue Q, A Chorus Line, Six, Heathers, Les Mis, The Producers, or West Side Story.

8. Just a reminder that even if we complete a contract license and order a show, the script companies can reject our request for a variety of reasons. Hints will still be vague for a while until we have a box of scripts in our hands.

9. It's a musical!
