Summer Stars 2021

PLEASE NOTE: Students must have at least their first COVID vaccination in order to register. All students (and instructors) must be fully vaccinated in time for performances in early August. Proof of vaccination will be required. 

Summer Stars is an immersive 6-week musical theatre program that culminates in the production of a fully-staged musical, with four performances open to the public. Directed by Dorothy Pierce, with music direction by Rose Yurcina, teen actors will have a spectacular summer experience with other young adults, bringing Dolly Parton's hit Broadway musical "9 to 5" to life on our Marysville stage!

CONTENT NOTE: "9 to 5: The Musical" contains PG-13 material, including

• Marijuana use

• Sexually suggestive language 

• Period-appropriate sexist behavior
• Adult Language

Classes/rehearsals begin Sunday, June 27, with auditions held that day from 4 to 7 p.m. All registered students will be cast, but auditions help our instructors match vocal abilities to the specific roles in the show. Students are asked to create a self-tape audition video of a 1-minute monologue and song selection (with musical accompaniment or backing track) and upload to a Google drive (link will be sent upon registration) by June 21.

The cast will meet 5 days a week at Red Curtain, Sunday thru Thursday, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Performances are slated for August 6-7, 13-14, at 7 p.m. at the Red Curtain Arts Center.

Please be assured that all COVID health regulations will be strictly followed during rehearsals and performances.

Registration is now open! Note that our online payment processor will only accept payment in full, so please call the office at (360) 322-7402 to pay only the deposit ($100) with the balance due by June 27.
