Rising Stars Youth Ensemble
Please visit the RSYE page for results and next steps: RSYE Results and Registration
Thank you to everyone who took the time to audition! We are overwhelmed with the amount of talent in this community. Please find the cast list below.
The first rehearsal will be Thursday, January 22 from 6:30pm-8:30pm at The Academy Education Space/Metropolitan Baptist Church (525 W Douglas). Enter the building from the south side (exact same spot as where you auditioned). The parent meeting will be from 6:30pm-7:00pm – we will go over expectations, rules, and general housekeeping items during the parent meeting. After the parent meeting, we will continue with rehearsal. The entire cast will be called on Thursday, January 22 and Sunday, January 25.
Please email Joshua at josh@mtwichita.org by this Wednesday, January 21 to let us know if you will NOT be joining us and declining your spot in the show. If you ARE joining us, simply register and pay your enrollment fee before 5:00pm and Wednesday, January 21.
To register, pay the $65.00 enrollment fee and fill out the required information at Little Mermaid Registration Link. Please do this before Wednesday January 21, 5:00pm. Everyone must complete this step before they can participate.
Because we had such an incredible turnout, some parts in the show are double cast. Below the cast list is a breakdown of which leading performers are in which cast. Everyone will perform in every performance. The leads that are double cast will be sea creatures when they are not performing as their named character. We have also added a Friday evening performance at 7:00pm on March 6th. Performances will be Friday March 6 at 10:00am, 12:00pm, and 7:00pm, Saturday March 7 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm, and Sunday March 8 at 2:00pm. We will discuss all of this at the parent meeting as well as which performances each cast will perform in. Again, everyone will be in every performance.
