Welcome to ACT's 2014 Winter Musical.
We will be updating this page throughout the production, so be sure to check back here and refresh or reload your browser to make sure you are getting the latest information.
Auditions will be held on Tuesday, December 17th and Wednesday, December 18th from 5–8 PM at Arlington Center for the Arts. There are a few things we need you to do to prepare:
The cast list will be emailed over the weekend. Sunday, January 12 will begin rehearsals by cast and character.
As is now our standard policy, final casting decisions will not be made until after the first rehearsals. The staff will use this time to get to know the cast and explore the show.
Please note the rehearsal schedule for the show. Your child will not be required to attend every rehearsal, only those where they are called. You can look at the schedule links for last summer's productions to see how this works. Absences are strongly discouraged throughout the production, and attendance is mandatory from the beginning of dress rehearsals on, so please plan accordingly. All actors and at least one parent are also expected to attend the first meeting on Monday, January 6th, where we will share more details about the production and have sign-ups for volunteer committees.
All payments or payment arrangements must be secured before auditions. There are no refunds after the start of auditions. Although we sometimes have a waitlist, bringing actors into the production after auditions presents numerous challenges for the staff and does not give the late arrivals a fair start to the production.
Shrek is based on the Oscar ® winning Dreamworks movie. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.
Art Guidelines—Is your child interested in having their artwork appear on posters, programs, or T-Shirts? Follow these instructions to make sure the artwork fits our general standards.
