Cast Information
State Fair is a musical play, a fun and silly story of an Iowa farm
family going to the 1946 State Fair.
This year we will accept children from 4th grade on up for the cast. We
also need plenty of parents, and young adults in the cast. We ask that you
talk with your children to help them decide if they want to be in the show.
It is a huge amount of fun, and an experience you will never forget.
The children will be cast as the children of families who have come to
the fair. They will all be dancing and singing. (They don't have to know how
to dance ahead of time, although they do have to be able to sing.) We have
special after school rehearsals for the children this year, mainly on
Mondays from 3:15 until 4:45. The children will also join the adults almost
every Sunday from 1PM until 4PM. There will be an occasional Wednesday or
Friday after school rehearsal. Starting about April, there will be some
evening rehearsals for the whole cast, usually on Wednesday, but sometimes
on other nights.
During the month of April the rehearsal schedule will be intensified, and
the week of April 21 will have a dress rehearsal or performance every night
but one.
Parents who think they would enjoy being in the play are encouraged to
join their children at the auditions, or to volunteer to help in some other
capacity. This is a wonderful thing to share with your children, and can
become a family endeavor. The Nativity Players always put on a good show,
and we are always happy to see new faces. We need lots of men, women, young adults, high school age kids, and children fourth grade and older.
