The Lincoln Theatre program runs for half the school year. Students will make friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. They will have fun, work hard, and leave this program feeling a great sense of accomplishment. But this program requires great dedication and commitment. Choosing to take part in it is a decision that should not be taken lightly.
The Lincoln Theatre production is comprised of three different classes: Performance, Stage Management, and Tech and Design. It culminates in the performance of a full scale production.
All students interested in joining this class will need to audition. Those who are accepted will be assigned a role in the musical. They will gain experience in acting, improvisation, singing, dancing, and will have homework. It is mandatory that they participate in every rehearsal as well as all four performances in January.
Students in Stage Management will assist the director and the cast with all backstage work, prompt actors, take notes, assign and manage props, manage scene shifts, and help run the show from the booth and backstage for the Performance weekend. It is mandatory that they participate in every rehearsals and performances in January.
Tech and Design students will collaborate to create the visual style of the production and implement their designs in all technical aspects. They will work backstage, in the lighting and sound booth, and at front of house during the January rehearsals and Performances. It is mandatory that they participate in all scheduled classes in the fall, each rehearsal in January, as well as all four performances.
