The Garden Players Year

There are two semesters each year (13 weeks each), a full year experience which culminate in the May musical:

Semester 1: Late September – January
Classes will share songs, scenes, acting improv in an informal in-class Sharing Day (students also participate in a January concert to raise funds for the May musical)

Semester 2: Late January – May
Culminates in a fully staged original musical performed the weekend before Memorial Day

Most students participate for the full year. New students can join in January, space allowing, and become part of the theater family.

Additional Sunday rehearsals (1–3:30 for Friday Red Cast kids, 3:30-6pm for Tuesday Blue Cast kids) take place on select Sundays from March–May.

Students may also perform in community events such as Flag Day and the Memorial Day Parade.

Photo/Video/Media Release: We love to create a short documentary of our year together, include some photos and videos of recent shows on our site and on a youtube channel, and update our website with current photos and video footage. We also like to continue to promote the Garden Players musicals to others schools and youth theaters through Garden Players Publishing (www.gardenplayerspublishing.com) and/or Beat by Beat Press (www.bbbpress.com) and/or our band The Scooches (www.thescooches.com). We occasionally may want to use some images or short video clips from our classes, rehearsals, Sharing Day, Concert, and show in May to help promote the show and give others a sense of the class and our original musical. We would like you to indicate below what uses of images of your child you are willing to consent to. In all cases, by being a part of this program you are agreeing to allow us to share unlisted photos or videos from class, from rehearsals, and from the shows with other Garden Players families so that everyone can enjoy seeing their child in action. *
