Question 1

What are Poudre Theatre productions?

Accepted Answer

Poudre High School's Theatre program puts on three main-stage productions each school year. Usually there is a musical in the fall, a play in winter, and a smaller play or musical in the spring. Auditions and crew selection are held in September and December, and are open to all students. These are the highlights of the school year and showcase our talent, skill, and commitment to excellence in theatre.

Question 2

Do I need to be in a class to be in a production?

Accepted Answer

No. Being in a class will help build your skills and knowledge, which may mean more opportunities in productions, but auditions and crew selection are open to all students.

Question 3

Do I need parent permission to be in a show?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Parents are an important part of this production! You and your parent need to sign a contract to participate, and abide by the schedule and rules for the production.
 
In addition, parents are required to attend a mandatory parent meeting and volunteer to assist on the production.

Question 4

Do I get credit for doing a production?

Accepted Answer

Students in the cast and crew will be enrolled in a Theatre Production class. This class earns elective credit, and requires weekly reflection assignments.
 
Students enrolled in Theatre Production can also enroll in a concurrent enrollment course through Front Range Community College. This earns a semester of transferable college credit at no extra charge!

Question 5

I want to be involved in a production, but I do other activities. Can I do both?"

Accepted Answer

We love that you want to do many things, and we will work very hard so that you can do both. On your audition or crew form, you will write down all of your schedule conflicts, real or anticipated. We will consider if we can work around your conflicts, and we may even talk to your coach, boss or advisor. We cannot promise that you can do both, but if we want you on our show, we will try!

Question 6

Where will the Cast & Crew Lists be posted?

Accepted Answer

We will post the cast and crew lists on the call board and on the website. 
 
We try to get the cast list posted before the crew selection meeting: we want students who are not cast to have the opportunity to join the crew, if they choose. This doesn't always happen, but that is our goal. Please don't ask us when the cast list will go up: we will post it as soon as we have it set. No one is holding the cast list for dramatic effect!
 
The crew list is usually posted the day after the crew selection meeting. We aim to have the full production company at the first read-through and company meeting.

Question 7

I didn't get cast in the show or get a job on the crew. What did I do wrong?

Accepted Answer

The short but frustrating answer is: you did nothing wrong! It doesn't feel good right now, but no one gets cast in every show they audition for, and no one gets to be on the crew every time.
 
The bottom line is that, while we want to involve as many students as possible in every show, every production is different, and has different needs. Some show calls for a small cast. Some shows don't have a set, so we don't need as many on crew. Some scripts have very specific ages, genders, nationalities, or ethnicities for the characters. Sometimes, students don't have the strongest auditions. Sometimes we need different technical skills.
 
The directors are looking, always, for what will best serve the specific production. We are looking for a sound, or a presence, or a style of movement, or a particular idea we have for what that character will be. We know it feels personal, but it really isn't. If you are not a part of this show, we hope that you will keep trying, keep building your skills, and perhaps you will be in the next one. Every audition, especially the ones that don't work out, is an opportunity to learn and grow and improve.
