CHS Grease Musical Auditions

   

     On Tuesday and Wednesday the 17th and 18th, the high school held auditions for Grease, the spring musical.  Grease is around a two-hour long production following a high school love story, in a comedy fashion, between a girl and boy of different social standings.
      Wendy Mahr, CHS Choir teacher and the sponsor of Cardinal Singers, is the director of this year's musical.  According to Mahr, interested students were required to act out a short monologue and sing a few bars of a song for their audition.  Mrs. Paoao, Mrs. Lanphear, and Mrs. Welch were also present at the auditions to aid in the casting process.
      Following the initial auditions, Mahr compiled a list that was posted Friday morning for callback auditions.  These auditions were meant to see actors read or sing for Mahr, in order to determine parts that the casting committee couldn't decide on.  These auditions were Monday the 23rd in the morning, with the cast list going up on that afternoon.
     Now that the cast list is out, the musical can get going in rehearsals to prepare for their performances on March 31st, April 1st, and April 2nd. Mahr hopes "that the students involved will learn about musical theatre and experience the production in a way that is fun and is beneficial to the students' growth" in CHS's 2017 production of Grease.
