The IC Theater Group was created in 2003 as a means to introduce Immaculate Conception students to the rich heritage of the American Musical Theatre. Students are given the opportunity to participate in the full production process of staging a musical and experiencing the magic of live theater. From auditions, to the creative rehearsal process, to stage management, to opening night applause, students are allowed to develop their individual skills and talents. The goal of each production is for it to be a rich learning experience. No matter what role a student receives, being involved in the play process is an invaluable experience that instills self- confidence, discipline, character, cooperation and self-esteem in each student, as well as creating many fun memories that will last a lifetime. Auditions for each production are open to all students in fourth through eighth grade and stage crew assignments are open to students in the sixth through eighth grade. In the past, cast and crew sizes have ranged from 60 to over 100 students, making the spring musical the largest extra-curricular school activity participated in by students at Immaculate Conception. Students who receive a role in the play must be committed to the play and attend all scheduled rehearsals. The time commitment for each play is approximately 12 weeks with rehearsals usually scheduled Tuesday through Friday, 2:30 – 5:00pm. There are a few Saturday rehearsals in the schedule. This is a serious commitment just like any other extra-curricular commitment. Parent involvement plays a big part in the success of each production. Parents are asked to volunteer and help with set construction, painting, and providing a costume for their own child in the show. Past plays performed by the IC Theater Group: Oliver Twist (2004) |
