First Rehearsal

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 6:24 PM

 

Hello Wonderland!

We’re so excited to put on a show with you all! The first rehearsal will be held on June 6th, at St Luke’s church (where we had auditions), from 1.00 to 4.00. Please bring a binder for your script, a highlighter, and a pencil for the read-through. A rehearsal schedule will be given out on Monday, but a heads-up, everyone will be called to this week’s rehearsals, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 1.00 to 4.00 (no rehearsal on Thursday or Friday). On Monday, bring a parent in with you to sign a church release letter and to sign up for snacks. Also, don’t forget to bring a check for $110 made out to DIY Teen Theatre (this will cover script fees, rehearsal space, etc.) If you have any vacation or other conflicts, email me this weekend ASAP because I will base the rehearsal schedule around this. (I already have the conflicts you put on the initial audition form, but I would like to have confirmation on those.)

See you Monday!

Helen Knudsen

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.
