Musical: Anastasia (Youth Edition)

Ages 11-17

Our popular musical productions are always fun and educational. We begin with relationship building and learning musical numbers. Casting will soon follow. All enrolled participants will be cast and have multiple roles, as we double cast to share speaking roles. This means there will be two separate casts, each performing on different dates/times. We want all participants to have a blast and be challenged by their experience!

Note: 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.

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

• acting/performing

• singing and dancing

• theatrical protocols

• confidence

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 or any time during Show Week, they should not register for the program. Show Week for this production requires three weekday performances.

Her past is a mystery. Her future is an adventure.

Anastasia: The Musical is the spectacular new musical about discovering who you are and defining who you’re meant to be. This 60-minute adaptation of the Broadway hit is specially tailored for young actors.

From Tony winners Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, this dazzling show transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.

Anastasia The Musical (Youth Edition) is to be presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
