Wizard Of Oz Auditions UPDATE

Just to be clear, membership in the Holy Family Genesian Players is limited to middle school students of HFCS (6th-8th graders). We apologize that point was not communicated in the school bulletin that went out.  For those younger students interested in the club, please come see the Wizard of Oz in April, and get ready to join the club when you enter the 6th grade!

We look forward to seeing our middle school students this Saturday, any time between 1 and 3pm in the PLC  (plan to spend about 15 minutes in the audition).  Remember, you need only prepare about 30 seconds of a song.  You'll be asked to read from teh script and join other students in singing part of a song from the show.

 OR, if you want to be in the chorus, there will be a brief meeting for chorus members at 3pm.

See you Saturday!
