Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t have any experience with singing, dancing or acting, can I still be in the show?
Will I have to audition?
Since it's the school holidays and my parents need to work, can I be dropped off early and picked up late?
What about lunch?
Apart from working really hard on the show, we will have loads of fun during the week. Everyone will participate in singing, dancing and acting rehearsals, group games and some chill out time to get to know new friends. During the week performers will experience the magic of theatre and gain a credit for their performing resume. Performers will also gain confidence, develop new skills and leave with life-long memories, new friends and an unforgettable experience.
What about costumes?

Yes! If you require outside of rehearsal hours care, please contact us. Children can use the time to practice the show or just relax! Early drop off and late pick up will need to be booked in through the creative team in order to ensure that there are enough staff on site to accommodate for your child.
What will I get out of performing in the show?
Performers are required to bring their own lunch, snacks and a water bottle. There is a microwave and fridge on site at the rehearsal venue. We ask that you avoid high allergen foods such as nuts and peanut butter. Performers will get plenty of breaks throughout the day for snacks and water. If your child has any allergies, you will be required to bring along their emergency medication and their allergy management plan.
If the performer would like to be part of the ensemble of the show then an audition is not required, just a video introduction can be sent in.
