Mini Kids Musical

Disney’s Aristocats KIDS

Ages 6-10

Our popular musical productions are always fun and educational. We begin with relationship building, drama games, and singing the music. Casting will happen in early in the process so we can maximize time for learning lines and blocking. We want all participants to have a blast and be challenged by their experience!

Our musical rehearsal process allows for many hours of coaching and guidance in:

• acting/performing

• singing and dancing

• theatrical protocols

• confidence

NEW ACTORS AND AUDITIONS

We welcome new actors! However, being part of a show is a commitment and can be overwhelming for some children. To register for this program, actors must have previously enrolled in an actOUT! class, camp, or production (or a similar program elsewhere).

If your child has some experience with another organization or at school, please contact us to discuss at info@actoutkw.com .

We do not audition for entry to this program. All registrants will be accepted provided payment has been received, or payment arrangements have been made, and the participant and their parent/legal guardian have provided required information, read our policies, and signed our Actor’s Agreement. We strive to provide a welcoming and safe environment to all children and youth regardless of gender, sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, neurodiversity, and physical ability.

COMMITMENT AND EXPECTATIONS

Attendance is an important part of the rehearsal process. Actors work as an ensemble and rely on one another to be there. If an actor will be missing multiple rehearsals, please check in with us. Missing multiple rehearsals, especially close to Show Week, can significantly impact both an actor’s experience and group rehearsals. If your actor will miss any time during Show Week, they should not register for the program. Show Week for this production requires one weekday performance.

Based on the beloved Disney animated film, and featuring a jazzy, upbeat score Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS is a non-stop thrill ride of feline fun, complete with unbelievable twists and turns.

In the heart of Paris, a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to Duchess, her high-society cat, and her three little kittens. Laughs and adventure ensue as the greedy, bumbling butler pulls off the ultimate catnap caper. Now it's up to the rough-and-tumble alley cat, Thomas O'Malley, and his band of swingin' jazz cats to save the day.

Disney’s Aristocats KIDS is to be presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
