Jolly Jester Children’s Theater is a musical theater opportunity for children in 1st grade through 8th grade. Our production this year will be “School of Rock”.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme… You better get me to school on time! Andrew Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock: Young Actors Edition is a dynamic, one-hour version of the musical based on the hit movie, designed especially for young performers. The tuner follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?
Try-outs for the production will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026 from 1:00 - 3:00 PM. and Sunday, October 18, 2026 from 1:00-3:00 PM at the Recreation Gym. Come for try-outs at any time during the two days. Interested participants will be asked to sing a song with a karaoke track or acapella – 1 minute and recite a 1 minute monologue (i.e. poem, short story) preferably memorized, that you have prepared for the try-outs.
An additional script fee will be collected.
