First Rehearsal!

Posted on June 6, 2010 at 5:11 PM

Hi gang!

Charlie Brown rehearsals start this Monday, the 7th from 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm. We are at Faith Evangelical United Methodist Church (same place we auditioned at, or if you’ve forgotten already, corner of North and York kitty corner to Hamburger Heaven.)

 

What to Bring:

 

• 1 ½ inch binder for your script (trust me, anything smaller will not work, I’ve tried)

• Highlighter (to highlight your lines)

• Pencil (to make an changes I was smart enough to forget to copy over)

• Bottle of water (to sooth your parched throats after we sing, there is a water fountain but it tastes yucky!)

• *optional* Snack (my mom will provide snacks, but she has been a health nut lately, so you might not like what she brings)

• Check for $80 made out to DIY Teen Theatre

• If you have not already given it to me, a filled out registration form, signed by a parent (it is attached to the email I sent)

 

Can’t wait to see everyone! This first rehearsal, we will be reading through Act 1, and learning the opening song. Everyone will get a rehearsal schedule either on Monday, or soon after that.

See you all Monday!!!

Who We Are:

DIY Teen Theatre was founded by Helen Knudsen in the summer of 2009 when she was 14. She loves theatre and wanted the opportunity to direct a show by herself. While her home town of Elmhurst, Illinois has a wonderful childrens' theatre that runs through the school year, there was nothing for younger actors and actresses to do during the summer. She recruited two of her friends to help her direct a musical extravaganza! She put to work everything she had learned as a graduate of Elmhurst Children's Theatre.

Our shows are performed in the summer by children entering grades 4 through 9.  Middle school and highschool students make up the pit orchestra, tech crew, and assistant direction. The first show, A Little Princess, in Summer 2009, was a huge success, and the second and third, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (2010), and Alice in Wonderland (2011), was even more popular and drew in an enormous crowd! The cast performed to a packed house, and had a fantastic time. DIY is now planning their Summer 2012 show, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
