Join us in the fall for Little Red Reboot by Sonja Sobieski
(published in special arrangement with Stage Partners)
​
This hilarious spoof of Little Red Riding Hood (along with other fairy tales) explores alternate endings to our favorite stories. Little Red has a video game habit and Goldilocks always has to be the center of attention? This is NOT your grandmother’s fairy tale! ​
​
Performance (tentatively) Fri Oct 24th 6:30p
Auditions (tentatively) Sept 8th and 10th
Rehearsals on Wednesdays starting Sept 17

​
Acting rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 2:30-4:30 for 5-6 weeks in the fall and 7-9 weeks in the spring.
Students audition to act in the fall and sing, dance and/or act in the spring.
Students not only operate the lights and sound but also create costumes and set pieces for both shows. These students make up the Creative Teams meet Mondays from 4-5 and then closer to the show Stage Crew meets Mondays and then a couple of Wednesdays with the performers.
For more information - see the "How do I get involved" page. The Fall Play begins rehearsing and creating costumes, props and set pieces soon after school begins so it is a great way to meet other students.
Past PAW Productions-
These middle school appropriate comedies were chosen because they have large cast sizes with gender flexible roles. Every student who auditions for an acting role will get one.
Fall Play: 30 min comedies perfect for middle school
Spring Musical: A 60 minute Musical Variety show consisting of 3-4 skits containing songs. Students who act do not need to sing or dance if they don't want to. There are acting only roles as well as singing or dancing only roles.
