Junior FAQ:

Want to be in a show?!

Jr. Productions are the ultimate musical theatre experience. Join us for a comprehensive journey through the full musical production process! You will get to experience auditioning, harmonies, teamwork, singing, dancing, and performing for friends & family at the Village Theatre in Danville!

How do I join?

Open enrollment takes place twice a year when our classes are announced for the Spring or Fall Sessions. You can sign up during the months of June - August for the Fall Show or October - November for the Spring Show! Enrollment is done on a first come, first served basis. There are 4 casts available, each holding 35 spots.

Is experience needed?

There is no previous experience required to be a part of a Jr. Production, but if this is your child’s first experience with theater, it may be beneficial to consider one of our skill-based classes (such as Broadway Voice or Theatre Games) as an introduction to the world of theater before committing to a full production.

Does everyone get a speaking part?

When you sign up for a Junior Show, you are committing to being part of the cast. There is no guarantee that you will be cast as a lead, supporting, or any named role. Everyone is guaranteed to be part of the ensemble (group who does not have solo lines, but acts as a whole and participates in many important scenes throughout the show).

How big of a commitment is being in a Jr. Production at ICDT?

Outside of our 4 hours of rehearsal, students will have homework including memorizing lines and songs, rehearsing their dances, and researching their character. Micaela recommends carving out 30-45 min per week for rehearsing at home. This can be spread out over a few days or done all at one time. It’s important that the actors reinforce things learned in rehearsal at home. Work with your child to create a schedule so they have time to finish both their school homework and their homework from the musical.

What are the expectations of our Jr. Production actors?

Each actor is responsible for learning their assigned role or "track." Once a dance routine is taught, we expect actors to practice it independently and approach a director with any questions or requests for assistance as needed. In the event that an actor misses a class, it is their responsibility to utilize rehearsal videos or reach out to the dance captain to catch up on any material they may have missed. This ensures that everyone remains well-prepared and contributes to the success of the production.

Where can we find materials for the show?

A week before the first day of rehearsal Micaela will send out a welcome email to all the families. In this welcome email there will be a link to the current Jr. Production Google classroom. Micaela encourages all her actors to register in her google classroom as a way to take full responsibility for their show. Here you will find all practice materials for our Jr. productions. This includes: Music, the script, choreography and rehearsal videos, director notes, and important reminders.

Why is consistent attendance so important? 

Students who miss rehearsals struggle to catch up, impacting overall cast progress and cohesion. Like a sports team, everyone's participation is crucial for success. Missed classes may result in students not being included in scenes or songs due to limited rehearsal time. Creating musical theatre cannot be done with only one person;  every member of the cast is incredibly important to the overall production. We ask that you prioritize being at rehearsal on time and ready to go.

Why are Tech days mandatory?

Tech rehearsals are vital just before opening night. Onstage, alterations to dance formations and blocking may happen. Practicing in full costume with all show elements is essential for an actor's peak performance.

Do I need to provide a costume for my child?

Costumes will be provided for all characters, however we may ask that families supply a base-layer for their actor’s costumes. For example, a white tank top and leggings, something that can be easily worn underneath but the actor still feels comfortable changing in the dressing room.

How can I buy tickets for the performances?

Ticket information will be sent out 1-2 months prior to the event. All tickets must be purchased through The Village Theater website.
