Information Pack

Roles

Extra scripts and scores have been given to your child. All members of the cast must learn any and all roles given to them. They will be rehearsing their roles once a week while the leads learn the ensemble bits. If a lead is feeling better, but their voice isn't ready for their solos yet, they will be in the ensemble for the required shows. The person in the lead role will take the parts of their understudy for that show.

Cast list

A full cast list is attached. Everyone must learn every role given to them. Please see Dene if you need extra scores/scripts. Please write a 200-word biography for the programme to be handed in when you arrive to Sydney.
