Arlington Community Education

Rehearse and present a fully staged theater production in just two weeks! This full-day program for acting and singing enthusiasts will be led by the Arlington High School drama director and the Ottoson Middle School music and chorus director. We’ll be staging James and the Giant Peach, Jr., based on Roald Dahl’s novel and witten by Timothy Allen McDonald. This “masterpeach” of a tale features music and lyrics by award-winning songwriters Benj Pasek & Justin Paul (best known for their work on La La Land and The Greatest Showman). Get a taste of performing or grow your talent and confidence in a supportive and creative environment. This program will culminate with an evening performance that will be open to the public on July 19. Workshop/Info Session: Learn how to put your best foot forward in an audition. Find out more about this program on Wednesday, May 22, 3:30-5:00 pm. Parents are invited to join the information session at 4:45 pm. Auditions: All participants must perform both an acting and a singing audition. Auditions will be held on June 11 at AHS. All are welcome, regardless of experience. Note: You must commit to the entire two weeks and be available for the evening show on July 19.
