Students,

I would like to start off this blog post with this statement: Casting a show is never an easy task. It is even harder when you are drawing from a pool of 72 talented performers. The following cast and crew list was a collective decision made by the judging panel.

I would like to thank all of the students who auditioned for the show. I admire all of your hard work and dedication. Whatever the outcome, just remember you did your best, and that there is a silver lining in every decision.

The first CAST and CREW meeting will be Monday, January 12th from 3:30 to 6:00 PM in the auditorium. Congratulations!

Sincerely,

Mr. Burch
