Student FAQs

Terrific! The first thing you should know is that you don't have to take theatre classes at Findlay High School to take part in the school productions.

There are productions in the fall and spring. Watch for audition notices. There will be posters around the school, morning announcements, and postings on this website. You may also contact the Mr. Cantrell.

Absolutely! Most rehearsals are immediately after school. If your activities happen later in the day, you should be fine. Also, the theatre and chorus departments work closely together on scheduling, and instructors try to be very flexible, asking you to list your preexisting commitments when you tryout.

Everyone who wants a role in a production has to audition. You'll be asked to perform two different characters. These characters can be from anything (read from a book, recite the pledge of allegiance, part of a monologue, etc.). The key is they need to be two distinct characters that show a range. If the show is a musical, you'll also have to sing and dance. Don't worry! Before every musical audition, there is a meeting in which we review the songs with you.

There are a ton of things that go into producing a play or musical. This means you have lots of options—set construction, props, costumes, make-up, run crew, and/or stage management. You may also choose to work with lighting and sound.
