Smart’s Mill / Mill House Productions School Play 2023Hello Students and Families-
We are looking forward to taking the stage again this spring with our production of THE LITTLE MERMAID on April 13, 14 and 15, 2023!
The program format will be essentially the same as last year. Please carefully consider the following important items before signing up for an audition:
- the cast size will be limited
- the crew size will be limited
- we will hold regular rehearsals on Saturdays (as well as weekdays)
- there will be no grace for missed rehearsals, being unprepared, or being unmasked (if required)
- if the need presents itself, all cast/crew must follow production mask-wearing guidelines at all times (non-negotiable)
Audition Forms must be completed by 11:00 pm on Sunday, October 23. No late forms will be accepted. Crew information and application will be available in January.
