Hello PNB Families,
We have four upcoming company productions featuring students from the school. As many of you know, casting for “Cinderella” has just been sent out to families, and we will soon follow with casting for “Momotaro.”
These productions primarily involve students in levels II, III, and IV, with some in levels V and VI. With a few exceptions for more challenging roles, casting decisions are mainly based on height. For productions like “Cinderella,” “Giselle,” and “Firebird,” costumes have already been made, so there are specific height requirements for each role.
Regarding “Momotaro,” there is the role of the “Peaches”, which is intended for level III and IV students. The choreographer has also requested a specific height range for this role.
If your student is not cast, please help them understand that this is due to height and costume requirements, as the children need to appear smaller than the adults on stage.
Thank you for your support!
