Spring 2020 Ensemble Play
Who Are You, Really?
By Eve Barman, Wilder Clingo, Liam Close, Chloe Collins, Bella Coatney, Addy Grady, John Simpson, Bronson Steiner, Terise Stevens, Liam Veloske
Owen is not having a good day. It’s bad enough his magic hasn’t kicked in (even though he’s old enough for it to show up!), but now everyone in town thinks he’s committing crimes! Only when a group of magical misfits bust him out of jail does he learn of the nefarious Adrian, a skin-shifter who has taken on Owen’s appearance in order to commit his various misdeeds. Owen, his best friend Aubree, and his newfound allies hunt Adrian down to defeat him and his evil plan to take everyone’s magic. However—even for a skin-shifter—Adrian isn’t quite what he appears to be, and Owen finds himself having to figure out who’s actually the good guys and who’s actually the bad guys, no matter what face they wear.
Rehearsals for Who Are You, Really?
Rehearsals begin around March 9, 2020. We will likely have two casts. Cast A will rehearse 5:30-7:00 pm Mondays/Thursdays, and 2:30-4:00 pm on Saturdays. Cast B will rehearse 7:00-8:30 Mondays/Thursdays, and 1:00-2:30 on Saturdays. Once Saturday classes conclude, Cast B rehearses 11:30 am-1 pm and Cast A rehearses 1-2:30 pm.
If your child has smaller part, you can expect 1-2 rehearsals a week; if they have a medium part, 2-3 rehearsals a week. If they have a large part, they should expect to attend all three rehearsals each week.
The performance for Who Are You, Really? is May 1-3, 2020
