Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I learn about Audition Opportunities for the High School?

Audition notices for our 3 annual productions (Fall Musical, One-Act and Spring Play) will be shared in the school announcements in order to reach all students in grades 7-12.  We will also send audition announcements via the REMIND App.  This is a free communication platform for both students and parents to join.  Join at https://www.remind.com/join/pc4drama or if if you use the App, just join with the Class Code @pc4drama

When should I register for this activity on the Bound site?

Students should register through the Bound site for Pine City Schools AFTER they have been cast in a role for the each production.  The Bound Registration has different groups for the Theater Program - Fall Musical Cast, Fall Musical Crew, One Act Play, Spring Play Cast and Spring Play Crew.    The exception to this would be if your student is interested in CREW ONLY for either production.  Those students may sign-up for crew at anytime and they DO NOT need to sign-up or attend auditions.  

When are rehearsals? 

We have a Google Calendar for PCHS Theater linked below.  This calendar includes all rehearsal dates and performances for all 3 productions throughout the year.  This is the *live* calendar that will always have the most up-to-date schedule for the students.  Rehearsal times vary depending on the show, availability of staff leaders for music and choreography, and conflicts with other student activities.  This means that we are posting a draft rehearsal schedule prior to auditions, then creating the final schedule based on conflicts that are provided during your audition process.  (As an example, if we have students involved in another activity, we are making an effort to plan rehearsals that minimize conflicts and absences of cast members.)

I am involved in another Dragon Activity, can I do both? 

When I am asked this question each year, it isn't a simple Yes or No response.  My question back to you is this - are you willing to do the work, communicate with your coaches, keep your grades up and follow all other expectations outlined in the PCHS Theater Slideshow?   Then yes, let's chat more about you doing both.  

• If you have practice after school for an activity and our rehearsal begins after that first activity ends - you are expected to show up for rehearsal. 

• If you have practice after school and our rehearsal is also after school, you need to communicate with your coaches to see where you are needed and how we can best get you involved in both activities.  We have great coaches that are willing to work with you... but it only works if you communicate.  

• A typical rehearsal schedule for a production is 21-26 rehearsals over 6-8 weeks.  If you are going to miss more than 6-8 rehearsals due to another activity or work conflict, then it may not work to do both.
