Auditions

Auditions were held on the 27th and 28th of August in the Auditorium at the high school. I made a handout that described the characters of the 'Peanuts Gang'. The things that each one had to do was:
1. Say a sentence of their choice with make-believe peanut butter in their mouth.
2. Say a paragraph of their choice with a paper bag on their head.
3. Show all of the emotions of flying a kite that they could.
4. Dramatize a paragraph of Snoopy's about dying from starvation because Charlie Brown had forgotten to feed him.
5. With a partner, portray each of the characters in each of 4 comic strips.
6. March to the beat of a song.
7. Dance up on the tallest box.
8. Dance with a make believe blanket.
9. Sing with the group (loud and on tune.)

We had 23 students that came to show their stuff on those 2 nights. Mrs. Seegmiller and my daughter, Jessica and I were the casting committee. We discussed each one and decided which we wanted to see back for call backs. Then we changed and decided that whoever wanted to be a lead, could learn a page of lines for the character of their choice and learn the song that went to that character.
