Shayna's Audition

I have almost finished putting together Shayna's Fall activity schedule......

At the last minute I stumbled upon a wonderful local Musical Theater class here in Newtown. By taking the class, she is automatically in the "Theater Company" and will appear in the Winter Play- a musical called "the Velveteen Rabbit." I could not pass this up for Shayna, even though she is already registered for an acting class (the art of the play- youth acting) at the Walnut Street Theater in center city, Phila. This is because The Velveteen Rabbit is Shayna's favorite book, well one of them (of course after Harry Potter!). So I am enrolling her in "Musical Theater 2" and by being in that class she is in the "party scene" of the play and will dance/sing/act, and will be singing "Favorite Things" and "Sleigh Ride." The show is Dec. 11th if anyone wants to come see her perform.

Out of that class (MT2) ONE child gets an actual speaking part. They are choosing that child by audition. Shayna is auditioning tomorrow (Saturday). She has to:

1. recite a short monologue (she has chosen to do "This Land is My Land")

2. read a line cold from a script

3. sing a verse from any song (she has chosen "Down by the Riverside" which she has been practising for months).

Then on Sunday Beth (the owner) will post who gets the part on her website. The first class is this coming Monday.


Here is the website for where she will be taking the musical theater class:
