Hadestown Callback List

A huge thank you to everyone involved in auditions this week! I know how vulnerable and intimidating it can be to audition for a production/casting crew and I am exceptionally proud of each of you in that bravery.  

Below will be the callback list - please be aware that if you are NOT listed, it does not mean you are not in the final cast.  Please check back tomorrow night at 10pm for the final cast list for Hadestown.  If you would like feedback about your audition, please ask me AFTER the long weekend. :) 

If you are on the Dance Callback List, please be READY TO GO in the auditorium by 1:30pm tomorrow (August 29th).  We will begin with this, but we don't need to see everyone else quite yet.  

If you are on the callback list for Featured Singers or Named Characters, please meet in the Auditorium of the PAC at 2:30pm SHARP tomorrow (Friday, August 29th) ready to sing and act.  I would suggest you vocally warm-up before that time.  We will go through Featured Singer needs first and then named characters. The PAC will be open beginning at 1:15pm so you can use the green room or makeup room (or lobby) to warm up. Break legs tomorrow, y'all!

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE LIST AND MESSAGE!

Here is a list of the songs and time stamps:

Hades - Hey, Little Songbird (0:20-1:20) and Why We Build the Wall ending (3:20-end) and the others called back can sing the other parts... it'll show us the depth under the character. 

Persephone - Our Lady of the Underground (0:50- 2:10) or Livin' it Up (0:38-2:03).

Eurydice - Flowers (1:28-2:14) and we can do All I've Ever Known (at 2:25-2:48) for when Orpheus and her sing together. 

Orpheus - Wait for Me (2:48 through the end and then accapella "La la la's" or with a little piano help). Then, the duet part of All I've Ever Known listed above.

Fates - all of Nothing Changes.... be prepared to sing numerous parts. 

With featured singers: The echos of Hades in Why We Build the Wall AND a small part of Chant Reprise - this would be the start to about 1:10. 

Hermes- 

Hermes - Way Down Hadestown (the beginning of the song till about 1:20 in before the dance break) and then Road to Hell Reprise (they start about 30 second in, so there until 2:05) - we can speed it up a bit, but honestly I think that is mostly accapella and will show us killer acting and intention.

Please know that if I need to add something as a cold read, I reserve that right - I do plan to potentially do a few improv scenarios for some named characters if needed. Otherwise, I suggest you become familiar with the songs and lyrics - we will have music copies there to look through starting at 1:30pm and for the audition itself to hold.  I will have 8-10 copies of everything!

SO excited for tomorrow - do your best and know we are rooting for you!!! 

** Also, if you do NOT wish to attend callbacks for any of the parts listed and I missed that on your sheet, please just send me an email. Thank you!

Shakespeare Reminders - 2025

 Hi everyone!

Please find reminders from our first team meeting in this blog post as well as the updated script HERE that differentiates between Player and Character lines and also indicates which Henry V scene each piece of text is from.  Knowing the scenes will be especially helpful for paraphrasing your lines into normal speech.  Actors need to have completed their paraphrase by next Friday.  Printed copies will be provided to all actors on Sept. 4

- The trip fee of $446.00 has been applied to your Skyward accounts.  Fees are due at 3:00 pm on Sept. 16th.

- We are doing the Wasatch fundraiser again this year so that you can offset your fees.  Each book costs $37, with $17.50 going back to the student.  The process of turning in fundraiser money was detailed in our meeting and we will go back over it at the Parent/Guardian meeting.  If you have questions AT ALL, please see Cline.

- Fundraiser receipts are due to Cline by 3 pm on Sept. 14th.

- If you are participating in the fundraiser, please DO NOT pay the fee BEFORE you submit your fundraiser receipt.  It is difficult and time-consuming for the office ladies to go through the process of refunding you money. 

- Updated calendars will be available at the end of this week on the blog and printed out on the callboard of the Little Theatre.

- Room sign-ups will be posted on the Little Theatre callboard next week.

- Players 1-4 and DM are called from 5 - 6:30 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 2.  6:30 - 7:00 pm will be rehearsal time for IE folks.  IEs, if you'd like to arrive at 6:00 then you can look through items upstairs in the Little Theatre.

- Wednesday, Sept. 3 is the MANDATORY parent/guardian meeting at 6 pm in the PAC.

- Thursday, Sept. 4 is our Challenge Round day, everyone on Shakespeare Team is called.

As always, please reach out to Cline with any questions.  For everyone participating in Hadestown auditions this week, break legs!

CLICK HERE!

Hadestown Set and Costume Help - Needed ASAP!

If you have yet to hear, the musical for our Fall 2025 season is...... HADESTOWN!

We are exceptionally excited about this show and can't wait to get started.

That said, we are need of a parent or two with a truck to get some large barrels and costume boxes from Hillcrest High School.  I can only fit a few of the costume needs in my car, so it would help immensly to have a BIG truck or two medium trucks. We would schedule a time in the next two weeks that works for you and the teacher at Hillcrest and then you would bring them back to Alta High School and myself and some students can help with unload. 

If there is ANYONE who has a little time this OR next week, we can coordinate a time and make it happen.  Please email me (Struiks) ASAP: linze.struiksma@canyonsdistrict.org 

Let's make Hadestown happen!
