The main cast list for the primary production will be displayed outside of the Hub by 7:45 this morning. Primary teachers will receive an email at that time sharing the names and classes of the students. Over 60 kids auditioned but there are only 13 spots! We were really impressed with the quality of the auditions and so proud of the students who were risk-takers.

Please be prepared to support any disappointed students. Sorry and thank you, teachers!

Main cast will meet after school on Wednesday in LGR 1 for their first rehearsal.
