Too Awesome for Words!
But we're gonna say a few anyway.
The children were just awesome tonight! We are off to a great start.
Tonight the children learned the four components of voice projection.
1. Posture
2. Breathing
3. Enunciation
4. Repetition
We introduced ourselves and played a little memory game to get them warmed up. The kids did an awesome job. We laughed but we worked too.
Thanks, parents, for volunteering to help. We appreciate you more than we can say. We just couldn't do it without you.

Rehearsals Begin Tonight!
The cast members of Fairy Tale Courtroom will begin rehearsals tonight. We will start with a question and answer session for parents and then dip our collective toes into our first rehearsal. With a cast of 33 it's bound to be a little chaotic but a whole lot of fun!
WAG's Board of Directors sends their first cast best wishes for a night of hard work!
And thank you to Allstate of Wylie, TX for supporting WAG by purchasing ad space in our season program. If you would like to place an ad, email us for more information.

We have our cast!
We had another great day of auditions today. Thanks to our production committee working long after everyone had left, we now have a cast for Fairy Tale Courtroom!
We were truly amazed at the level of talent displayed by the 33 children who came to show us their stuff.
Rehearsals begin April 20th at 6:30PM. We'll see you then!

Fabulous Auditions!
Well, I hope you'll forgive us for getting this out so late. The director of our first production had emergency surgery on Friday, so things have been a little bogged down since then.
Regardless, she actually showed up to auditions on Saturday, though she was only allowed to sit! We had a great turnout of very talented kids and can't wait to see what this Saturday brings!
Once the 4/3 auditions are over the production committee will get to work on fitting everyone in somewhere. Emails and, or, phone calls will be made Saturday evening or Sunday morning. We don't want to keep the kids waiting any longer than they have to!

Worried About Auditions? Don't be!
We're so glad you want to audition, and we promise not to bite! Fairy Tale Courtroom is a fun play, so of course, auditions will be fun too!
On audition day we'll have several scripts lying around that can be looked at. From there you can choose a part, or several, you want to audition for. Below we have some help on how you can make your audition the best it can be.
If you are on the younger side, we'll have some fun theatre games to play with you. These games will help show us that you have a nice clear voice and the ability to imagine and pretend. That's all acting is, really.
Do not stress out about auditions. You're gonna do great!!!

Seven Characteristics of Good Stage Performance
1. Rate: Being nervous can lead to rushed lines. Slow down!
2. Projection: Speak loud enough that people on the back row can hear you.
3. Clarity: Be careful to enunciate. Speak clearly without running words together.
4. Expression: Over emphasize in your portrayal. Subtlety is not for the stage.
5. Pitch: Use the full range of your voice. No monotony!
6. Stance: Stand straight with both feet on the ground. Be careful not to fidget or do things that detract from your role.
7. Poise: Be confident! When you make a mistake, don’t draw attention to it with giggles, eye rolls, grimacing etc. Moving on or starting over are the best things you can do.
