The Bear River Drama Department is ready to cast their version of Disney’s High School Musical.

Auditions are an open to all Bruins, starting Tuesday and Wednesday, September 6-7 in the Theater after school. Callbacks for specific parts will be at 3:30 p.m. and the first official read-through will be at 2:40 p.m., both taking place in Bear River’s theater on September 8. Auditions will consist of movement, singing, and reading from the script. Rehearsals will be Monday-Friday from 3:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m., depending on the role. Show dates are November 3-5, and 9-11.

Students who are part of the BR tech crew, or would like to be, should come to the audition or see Drama Teacher Sara Noah or Theater Director Jailyn Tafolla to get a tech crew interest form.  Tech crew will be needed for all performances.

“Creating a musical is a fun, challenging, tired, yet ultimately a rewarding experiencing of teamwork and innovation,” said Mrs. Noah. “Don’t miss being a part of theatrical history at Bear River High School.”

Disney’s High School Musical is a modern twist on Romeo and Juliet. It’s a story about two high school juniors from opposing cliques – Troy Bolton is the captain of the popular Wildcat basketball team, and Gabriella Montez is the shy transfer student who excels in math and science. After a rhythmic run-in at a ski lodge during winter break brings them close, they later end up trying out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, cause a massive uproar throughout the school. Despite the efforts of drama club diva Sharpay Evans and others who will do anything to sabotage the relationship between Troy and Gabriella, they overcome everything and convince people not to “stick to the status quo.”
