HOMEPAGE : PROGRAM OVERVIEW

FCS Middle School produces two shows on the Shallcross stage each year! 

For both productions, after-school rehearsals are typically held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays until 5:30.  ...in the 10 - 12 days leading up to opening night, rehearsals will go later and be on every school-day.

All students are welcome and encouraged to participate, either in the Cast or as members of the Stage Crew! 

Participating in the shows does not conflict with participation in Middle School sports (although students will miss three days of Athletics for Dress Rehearsals on the afternoons leading up to Opening Night).

Music Tracks and Dance Videos from recent Newsies rehearsals can now be found HERE.

All students interested in working on Stage Crew are invited to an INFORMATIONAL LUNCH MEETING on Monday, September 28th, in the MS Drama Studio.
