By Bakari King, MS Theater Director
The Middle School Theater Department will present "Disney's Lion King JR." in August 2026. Auditions will take place on Thursday, March 26 and Friday, March 27, in the Gordon Multipurpose Room.
Auditions will be a little different this year and will be explained at the Audition Workshop taking place from 1 to 4 p.m. on both Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22. To help students prepare for auditions, students planning to participate in the MS musical should attend one of the two workshops; the same information will be shared at both. All information about auditions will be spelled out at the Audition Workshop, and all students who audition for the musical will be given a role in the show. Each workshop will be followed by a brief meeting for actors and parents starting at 4 p.m. If you are not able to attend, please reach out to me by email to get all the information needed for the audition.
Also, pencil these dates onto your calendar for rehearsals:
