For anyone doing late April accepted student visits to Hartt, La Mancha and Little Women are playing in rep, so if yout timing works you could see both!

does not include any of the approximately 43,920 (estimated - lol!) student productions that go up each year
@techmom99 auditions for next year for the performers will be the first week of school, so we’ll have to wait until August to know. He just did a student production this past weekend and he is a dramaturg for Spring Awakening. Unfortunately I don’t think we can make it all the way for that. His acapella group is performing in May so we might possibly take the trip up for that. Have a safe trip!
The tech kids had to put in their requests for next year’s shows before winter break. S17 was involved in set up, prep and strike on last weekend’s show but they didn’t need him during the show so we flew him home as a surprise birthday present for his dad (and as a present for his own birthday). I believe he will be doing something similar for Spring Awakening. As of now, I am going up with my 2 oldest children and their SO’s and we will be taking S17 off campus for a trip to Niagara Falls, which only my oldest son has ever been to. We are planning to see the show on Friday night.
2018 Fall Musicals for Hartt will be Sweet Charity and Nunsense. No word on the plays yet. I am not enthusiastic about those choices, but whatever. You can’t love everything!
@eca1401 - No exact dates yet, but it will be the Mainstage fall musical, so that is typically end of Oct/beginning of Nov. - I haven’t seen it staged, just the movie. It may change my mind when I see it staged. Hartt spring musicals evidently are Rocky Horror Picture Show, All Shook Up and one more TBD. Still no confirmation about the straight plays for next year.
