What's the next Summer
Family Musical?
We'll tell you as soon as we make a decision
Meanwhile, here are the answers to
a few frequently asked questions about our Summer Family Musical!
We hope to see your family real soon!
Production Specifics
The Summer Family
Musical performs on Lexington Children’s Theatre’s Main
Stage. Jeremy Kisling usually directs the production. The creative
team including choreographer, music director, scenery and lighting
designers is usually announced in late April. The
title of the show is usually announced in mid to late March, once
rights have been secured.
Age requirements
Actors ages 9 to 99 are encouraged to
audition. We hope to cast the show age appropriately. You need not
have previous experience with LCT. We will use some actors younger
than 9 years old, but they will be family members of those already
cast. Please indicate on your audition form if you have a child or
sibling younger than 9 that would like to participate.

Audition Prep Class
Traditionally held three Thursdays in
May, this class gives you the opportunity to learn some of the
songs and dances from the show.
Audition dates
Auditions are
traditionally the first Saturday and Sunday in June from 1 to 5
PM.
Auditionees must plan on attending the entire audition time frame. We split
all auditionees into three groups and then cycle you through
dance, singing and acting audition rooms. That gives you an hour
and 20 minutes in each area which is never enough time! You need
to be sure to arrange an audition appointment.
Arranging your
audition appointment
After
May 1 you'll call 254-4546 ext 310 and leave the following information.
(Please speak slowly and clearly, we are writing down what you
say.)
Your name
Your age
The day you will attend
a phone number to contact you (Just in case there is a
problem.)
It's that
easy. No one will call you back to confirm your appointment,
simply mark it on your calendar and we'll see you here in the
building either Saturday or Sunday.

Rehearsal
schedule
Since this
is a family production it rehearses weekday evenings and
weekend afternoons. Not every character is called every night
though the director may work every night. Rehearsals usually begin the second week of June,
pause briefly for the 4th of July festivities, then resume on a
regular schedule. A detailed rehearsal schedule is provided after
casting.
Performance dates
Traditionally the first weekend in
August. Running Thursday through Sunday evenings with matinees on
Saturday and Sunday.
