Peter Pan: What to expect during A.S.A rehearsals

Like last year, rehearsals for the main cast will be on a TUESDAY and THURSDAY afternoon as the Primary Production A.S.A . Miss Devika will be helping with all rehearsals as ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
You'll be performing a musical, a type of PLAY that tells a story through songs, dances and dialogue. A composer writes the music and usually works with a lyricist who writes the words to the songs. The book writer writes the DIALOGUE ( spoken words or lines) and the STAGE DIRECTIONS, which tell the actors what to do on stage and what cues to listen for.
Miss Nicky, your director, will plan rehearsals which will commence almost immediately after the Summer break. We will rehearse so that we are prepared to give our best performances on the nights of the 3rd and 4th of November, 2016!
Music:  Since you are performing a musical, it is important to learn music early in the rehearsal process. Miss Nicky will teach the cast all the songs in the show and tell you what to practice at home.
Choreography: After you've got the music down you'll be working on dance steps. Miss Nicky will create the dances and teach them to the cast. the music and the Choreography help tell the story.
Blocking and scene work: A musical is always BLOCKED. The cast are told where to stand and how to move around the stage.
