Dear Parents and Students,
We are excited to announce that this year, Suffern Middle School’s 6th grade will present the musical The Lion King, Jr. It is our goal for every member of the cast and crew to have a positive, fun-filled experience. Please keep in mind, the production of a musical requires dedication and hard work, but the result is something to remember and be proud of for a lifetime.
Here is some information about our musical’s requirements and requests:

Three unexcused absences will result in removal from a role in the cast. Students who will miss rehearsal due to illness must email Ms. Torres before rehearsal.
Rehearsal schedules will be distributed thru the week of March 25th.
Students will only need to attend rehearsals for the scene they are in.
Please check the rehearsal schedule before scheduling other appointments!
Rehearsal Conduct:
All participants are expected to show focus during rehearsals and refrain from excessive talking while others are rehearsing.
Cast members may complete homework when not rehearsing.
Cell phones are not permitted during rehearsals, and should be kept in backpacks. Unless asked to be used by the production team.
Gum, food, and drinks (other than water) are not permitted during rehearsals.
Please fill out the audition form and agreement/permission slip, which must be returned for a student to participate in the musical.
We look forward to a wonderful experience and an outstanding performance!
