We held auditions on 25 & 28 April
2003 for
Les Misérables:
School Edition, but we determined that we were unable to cast this
ambitious play. The summer months are busy for many people, and we
were simply unable to recruit the number of students necessary to
put on this demanding show. We wanted to do the show justice, or not
do it at all. Unfortunately, the latter turned out to be the case.
We thank everybody who tried out. We hope to see you at auditions
for one of our future musicals! |
