Thank you so much for sharing your voice with us. We cannot express how proud we are of each and every one of you who had the courage to audition for these productions.
Auditioning is never an easy part of the production process, but I hope you can see how much you have grown having gone through such an experience. Your hard work, dedication, and passion were seen by all of us.
There will be more information to come explaining what to expect for the first day of rehearsals, so look for an email in the coming days to prepare yourself for the start of the rehearsal process. We look forward to beginning this work with you!
