This will be both fun and challenging while they learn about the essentials of acting, music, dance and stagecraft as well as theater history. We look forward to nurturing your student s imagination and creativity in a way your entire family will never forget! Sincerely, Bay Area Educational Theater Company What to Expect All students will be cast in an ensemble role regardless of whether or not a speaking role is offered to them. All students will perform in at least three ensemble numbers in the show. The audition process is a combined effort by the artistic staff and a board appointed representative. All will be present during auditions and will participate in providing audition feedback to students. The director will make final casting decisions. Speaking and specialty roles will be double cast wherever possible, allowing more students an opportunity to experience solo performing. As an ensemble-based theater group, ALL students will perform in ALL performances in the appropriate/assigned ensemble numbers whether or not they have a speaking or specialty role. We look forward to a great experience with you as we begin our 36th main stage production, TARZAN Please tarzan@bayareaetc.org with any questions you may have.
