Congratulations to the cast of Aladdin Jr. This show is very ensemble heavy, requiring the ensemble to be present in all but just a handful of songs, and therefore, many of the scenes. Agrabahns will have a very busy evening in the show. This show is the definition of “no small roles, only small actors” because without the entire cast, the show would be unsuccessful. Congratulations to the entire cast of Aladdin Jr. We are excited to see the show take flight on a magic carpet ride! This cast is going to do amazing things!
Reminder – First rehearsal is Friday from 5:00-9:00 at New Hope for ALL students who auditioned. An email will be sent with details regarding the weekend’s call list. Watch for it late Wednesday/early morning Thursday.

Congratulations to the cast of Narnia The Musical. Below you’ll find the cast list. We did double cast this show, Cair Paravel cast, and Marbleton Manor cast. If there is a name in both columns, then that character is double cast. If there is not a name in both columns, the character or chorus is not double cast and will therefore perform in all performances. Each cast, Cair Paravel and Marbleton Manor, will perform 3 times in their lead/speaking role, but will perform in a chorus role the other 3 performances. Performance dates for each cast are:
Cair Paravel – Thursday 10/25 @6:30, Saturday 10/27 @ 2:30, Sunday 10/28 @ 7:00
Marbleton Manor – Friday 10/26 @ 7:00, Saturday 10/27 @ 7:00, Sunday 10/28 @2:30
We can’t wait to see you and see this show take off.
