Cast and Crew List for Circus Olympus
At every audition, my belief in the tremendous talent in the students of Bexley City Schools is reaffirmed, and the audition for this play was no exception. Close to 80 students auditioned, and the poems were simply FABULOUS! All students who auditioned should be commended for having the guts to go up on that stage in front of so many people and do such a great job.
My least favorite part of being a theatre director is the casting process, because some students always end up being left out. While the play does offer a lot of roles, many of those who auditioned did not get parts not because their audition was bad, but rather because there simply weren’t enough parts to go around. Casting this play was extremely difficult, and I thought long and hard about every role.
This year, the number of students on crew has been limited as well. Supervision and safety during crew is always a top priority, and it is too hard to supervise a large crew properly. We only have a limited amount of space to work in, supplies with which to work, and projects to work on, and so we had to limit the number of crew members based on their crew interviews.
For those of you who made the cast and crew list, congratulations. Cast: You are expected to attend the first rehearsal on Tuesday, January 10th from 5:30-7:00PM. Crew: You are expected to attend the first crew meeting on Tuesday, January 10th from 3:30-4:30PM. For both groups, we will meet in the Cassingham Cafeteria, as well as drop kids off there at the end of rehearsal. At the first rehearsal and build, cast and crew members will all receive packets detailing all the information about the production and the production process as well as scripts. I will try to follow the rehearsal calendar provided at auditions as closely as possible, and crew will receive a build schedule on January 10th with their packets.
There is no rehearsal if school is cancelled. Instead, we will skip to whatever is scheduled for the next school day and I will provide a makeup date for what was missed on this website.
The cast and crew packets will be available for download soon on this website.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me at rebecca.rhinehart@bexleyschools.org. I have weird hours as I work late at night, so e-mail is by far the best way to reach me.
Thank you again to everyone who auditioned and interviewed!
