SPRING '26 Middles Musical: "LEGALLY BLONDE!" (Grades 6-9) - FULL
OVERVIEW / SYNOPSIS:
"Legally Blonde JR. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle's boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate, Emmett, and spunky hairdresser, Paulette, along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren't mutually exclusive. As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all."
ABOUT THE PROCESS:
This production will train young performers to become a dynamic, skilled, stage actors. The next step from the "Minis" and "Bridge" programs, this production will be held off site at the Peabody Black Box Theatre! The music, choreography and scene work will become more challenging, and actors will be expected to work on their material outside of rehearsals.
We create a safe learning environment where everyone will feel like an important part of the production. Our programs integrate social/emotional learning and confidence building to make it a truly unique learning experience. We focus on building confidence and creativity while learning the art of theatre.
AUDITIONS:
Auditions will be held on the first day of the program (Sunday, January 4th), and will consist of singing a 16-bar cut of a song from the show, as well as readings from the script.
All actors who register will have a role in the production! Every single role, from the principal cast to the ensemble, is vital to bringing a show to life, and we strive to ensure that every actor in the production feels important and has moments where they can shine!
