Congratulations to the Cast!
We’re excited to congratulate everyone who was cast in the upcoming production! We can’t wait to see all your hard work come to life on stage.
Be sure to save the date June 20-22, and June 27-29! You won’t want to miss this show!
Hi everyone!! I know that we say the same thing each year but each year the casting process gets harder and harder and harder. This was one of the hardest ones our team has done. We had an unbelievable amount of talent that came out. We want to thank everyone that took the time to audition. You guys make our decisions really, really hard every summer!! We hope that anyone who did not get a role this year will keep trying and that we will see you back again at auditions next year!!
For those of you who are in the cast, congratulations!!! I am really looking forward to working with all of you!! Please request to be added to the page “Hard Road's Shrek Jr. Cast & Crew” by Sunday, April 20th. On Monday the group status will be changed to PRIVATE. Only the parents, guardians and kiddos will be added.
Please know that if you are listed under 'Woodland Creature' or ‘Villager’ you will be in multiple scenes throughout the show and will be singing in almost all the songs. Some of you are assigned parts that will have lines and/or solos.
Now, if you are NOT willing to accept your role, please send a private message on Facebook Messenger to the director(that’s me ), GENTRY FIFER NESSEL, no later than Sunday at noon, April 20th.
Our MANDATORY parent meeting will be Monday, April 21st. Please bring your $100 fee with you that evening. This includes parents of all actors, even ones over 18.
The first practice will be Monday, April 21st as well and it is a full cast read/sing thru, at the Highland High School Kennel at 5:30pm. Now please bear with us over the next few weeks as we coordinate schedules and locations to fit the rest of our rehearsal needs
