Welcome to Jenkins Middle School Theatre Department!
Welcome back to school!
If you are interested in learning more about theatre opportunities for the 2026-2027 school year, students and parents are invited to an informational meeting August 19 from 4-4:45 in B145, Ms. Grimms' new room! I will be going over the fall play, spring musical, Thespian Troupe, Induction, Thes-Con, Thespian Showcase, and our new audition workshops.
Drama Club/Thespian Troupe meets Wednesdays in Ms. Grimms' Room B145 from 3:50-5:00. Club starts on August 26, 2026!
New this year- Audition Workshops!!
We are offering an audition workshop to help acclimate students to the audition process and allow for extra practice and feedback. The workshops are Aug 24 and 25 from 4-5pm, and Aug 28 from 4-6pm (or earlier depending on sign ups).
You can choose to come either Aug 24 or Aug 25 and you will learn how to pick a monologue for auditions, how to fill out an audition form, what a headshot should look like (and can get one taken for you and printed out to use for auditions), and how to use Signup Genius to sign up for an audition. On Aug 28 you can participate in a mock audition to see exactly what the audition process is like.
Auditions are August 31-Sept 4
