Thanks!)----------------------------------------------------------------------About Us: The all-volunteer direction team of Mill House Productions has been privileged to work with SMMS students for several years (and other students for many years prior to coming to Smarts)! While we work incredibly hard to bring outstanding performances to our audiences, our primary mission and focus remains on what the students gain from participating in the complete process. Among other things, we aim to provide an introduction to the art of musical theatre in an engaging and creative environment, to foster hard work and commitment, to build on teamwork and friendships, and to develop self-confidence and growth in each student.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Past Musicals:2023 April - The Little Mermaid2022 March/April - Matilda (take 2!)

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.
