****IMPORTANT PLEASE READ FIRST****

Thank you for coming out to audition for the 2025 spring musical Once Upon a Mattress! Every time that a show is cast, difficult decisions have to be made. We are so lucky to work with such incredibly kind & talented people on a daily basis. Casting decisions were based off of the following factors: 

Ability to follow directions ("There's no deadline like showtime")

Stage presence, response to direction, and character choices

Schedules & availability

Leadership on/off the stage & professionalism

Please keep in mind the following as well:

• If you did not get cast in the role you auditioned for, please don’t give up! We want all of you to shine in this show by using your strengths to grow as artists and performers.

• "It's not what you do, it's how you did it." Consider this before dropping the show if you disagree with our casting decisions. Your reputation speaks volumes & will affect future casting decisions.

• Support one another and do not steal someone else’s joy. NO BUCKET DIPPERS! 

• Please refrain from posting negative comments about casting decisions, or students in these roles, on social media or to other students/staff. Word travels fast to the directors, so be careful what you say/send. The contract explicitly states that bullying and gossip will not be tolerated.

• Please respectfully refrain from reaching out to Miss Peterson or Miss Clugston about casting decisions for at least 24 hours. 

• If you submitted an audition and do not see your name on the list, please speak to Ms. P on Monday to check that your form actually submitted. You should have received a confirmation email that your form was received the day it was turned in.

Students must attend the first rehearsal after school on Monday January 13th to pick up scripts & participate in a "table read." Attendance will indicate acceptance of your role so it is imperitive all cast and crew attend.
