Alex was trying for the part of Christopher Robbins son Chris jr. we also were told we would be part of tech crews as well as acting in the show. We spent the weekend preparing for auditions. We worked hard on dancing and singing and learning our lines.

We went to auditions that Monday right from school we were each asked to read for the parts wanted. We then found out we each had a call back we went to callbacks the next afternoon . We then waited until Thursday to find out which parts and jobs we had gotten. We had gotten all of the parts we wanted we also found out That Kate Susie Jamie and I were on the costume crew Zack Jake Tommy and Chucky were public relations. Kya JiYeon Ali and Sam were on props Alex Phil Dill and Kai were set designers. Min Jun Lil Kimi and Jack were on props.

We would practice every day except Sunday from 1 to 7 we headed home to hang for the weekend as our school had no school on Fridays. We went to the read through the next morning and then started learning the dance and solo numbers. After rehearsal we went and had dinner at a local 50's style dinner before heading home. We spent the next morning hanging out at Susie's before heading to a tech rehearsal where we learned what our jobs entailed. We then headed to my mommies shop to see if the costume crew could use a few pieces of material and a few other odds and ends. From there we went to My House for the night. On Sunday we hung out at my house and watched movies and relaxed the next few weeks were going to be crazy.

At rehearsal on Monday the costume crew got measurements for costumes and started working on accessories. The set crew started on backdrops and the props crew went to work looking for props. We practiced hard all week on Friday we had first costume fittings I would wear a dress that was purple with a purple jacket. Susie would wear a pink striped shirt a pink skirt a white lab coat and carry a toy stethoscope JiYeon was going to wear a red body suit with a specially built frame work that represented a dragon she also had a red hood and red makeup. Kate would wear a white dress and a dark wig under her dress would be a mermaid tail. Kimi and Lil would Both wear more modern versions of Snow white and Cinderella's dresses. Kya had a white bodysuit and a frame work snow girl costume and white make up.

Zack would wear a pair of brown pants a blue shirt and hat Min Jun and Dill would wear updated Captain hook and Smee costumes While Kai had an up dated Maui costume Alex would wear brown pants and a red collard t shirt. We then helped paint scenery and fix props while Zack designed the promotional posters. We worked very very hard over the next several weeks that included our regular school work on top of the play and rehearsals for another music competition. We were getting closer to the day of our show so we had extra extra long practices and less school work. After 6 full weeks we were ready for the show. We had our dress rehearsal which went pretty good minus my missing a cue and Susie tripping on Zack's foot.

We arrived at the theater 2 hours before show time the day of our first show Susie helped me fix my jacket sleeve I helped JiYeon into her costume and adjusted her tail. Across the room Zack was helping Jake with his costume Sam was fixing Lil's dress. We all had family in the audience as well as friends we had shows every Friday and Saturday night for the next 4 weeks. We had so much fun doing this show that we decided to keep up with this theater program and leave the kids company.
