James & the Giant Peach JR Cast List

From Mrs. Metcalfe: WOW! What a talented group of students! You all did an AMAZING job with the auditions and call backs. Auditioning is not an easy thing to do and takes a lot of guts! Atticus and I are so proud of your efforts!! Kudos to you all!!!

This was an incredibly challenging show to cast and we would have loved to have included every single person who auditioned, however due to the size of the stage and “crowd control” we have to cap the number of cast members. As the directors of the production, we are required to look at the big picture; from vocal range, vocal blend, personality, acting ability, dance skills, etc.  All of the pieces of the puzzle must come together to create a vision that tells the story. We believe that every contribution is important and valuable to the story we are going to be telling.

​

The role offered to your child may not meet their expectation; this may be a difficult time if the casting results are not what they wanted. Atticus and I both have personal knowledge of being on the end of casting decisions so we do understand the potential elation or upset which may result. You know your child best and know the techniques to comfort them.  In case of upset over any casting decision we would encourage you to empower your child to come and talk to us in a one-on-one discussion about how to go about enhancing their future auditions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions: sbmetcalfe@aacps.org
