Congratulations to the 75 actors cast in SAAC’s Summer Musical “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.” It’s a big show and we are very excited to be working with all of you!!! Now for everyone that has been cast in the show, here is a word from the director.
Greetings
Thank you for sharing your time and talents auditioning for our summer production of Beauty and the Beast. The creative team and I appreciate the opportunity to consider you for a role in our production.
This was an extremely competitive process; we had a record number of 133 talented people from all over the town and surrounding areas come out to audition. This was definitely a tough decision for us as there were so many talented performers, not to mention our having to look at individual schedule conflicts, character needs, body types, and other factors.
Congratulations! You have been chosen to be part of the Beauty & The Beast cast. I’m very excited to be directing this production and look forward to working with all of you over the next couple of months. I know that some of you are new to theatre. Putting together a theatrical production is like playing on a basketball team or working on a group science project: it requires a lot of hard work, collaboration, strategy, concentration, etc., and the process along the way will be what you make it. I will strive to make this a great experience for all involved. Here are a few things I would like you to know moving into the process-
• The full cast list is attached. Please check over the full cast list, as chances are you are cast in more than one role. After looking over the cast list, please immediately go to our acceptance site by CLICKING HERE. This must be completed for every cast member whether in the same family or not. All cast members must ACCEPT or REFUSE by Friday, April 14th. Failure to do so will result in your role(s) being recast.
• All understudies will have their own rehearsal and their own performance.
• Please review over all rehearsal schedules and mark your calendar. Only conflicts listed on audition form will be accepted.
• We invite all kids to also participate in our summer camp, “The Enchantment of Beauty & The Beast”, Monday – Friday, June 12-16. This camp includes training in acting, dance, and voice. For more information please visit us online at www.saac-arts.org.
• Please get your list and get the word out about this show. We will be having a friendly ticket sale contest for the top three performers who sell the most tickets. Prizes:
– Dinner & Show on the Town with the Directors – Join John, Chris, and me on a trip to Little Rock for dinner and seats to Arkansas Repertory Theatre professional production of Godspell
– $100 Visa Cash Card
– 2 Opening Night Tickets and dinner with John, Chris, and me
• Mark your calendar for our cast production meeting Saturday, May 20th at 10am. All cast members and one parent of each child cast member must be present.
• I will be sending your production area for work day after all acceptance/refusals are in.
• If you don’t see your name in at least two places please email me. With a cast this size, I am sure there may be some boo boos even after checking it three times.
• If you did not receive a text from me this last weekend, please subscribe to messages by texting @batbshow to (832) 632-8029. It’s free!
If you have questions, please email me at [email protected]. We appreciate you taking your time out to share your talents with the SAAC community. We are extremely excited about this production.
Sincerely
Monroe Moore
