ABOUT OUR SHOWS AND CASTING: All of our plays are original scripts written for the cast by Stacey Fix. There is no formal audition process. During the first several weeks of rehearsal, theater exercises and assignments help to assess the challenges, needs, and abilities of each student. Parts are assigned. It is our goal to make students feel that they are an important member of an ensemble cast. Please encourage your students to participate fully and share their talents, interests, humor, and ideas.
Volunteer Requirement:
We depend heavily on volunteers, and we truly appreciate their efforts. Volunteers are the backbone of TWS productions. Therefore, as part of their child’s enrollment, all parents/caregivers must commit to volunteer a minimum of 5 hours over the course of the program. There are many opportunities to volunteer so parents/caregivers can choose something that works with their schedule. The volunteering can be done at the school or from home. We need volunteers during rehearsals, backstage during productions, and to help with costumes, props, set design, shopping, and the cast party, just to name a few. Everyone is asked to fill out a volunteer form during registration to detail areas of interest, so that we can find a job you’ll love. We think you’ll find it to be a wonderful way to spend time with your child. It can be fun, creative, exciting, enlightening, and very rewarding. This commitment must be fulfilled in order to return to the next production. All Volunteers must fill out a CORI form provided by NES. Please see the list of Volunteer Opportunities
