The Spring Musical is a multi-disciplinary, extra-curricular activity with a focus on instruction and growth of students through their participation in the various facets of preparing and performing a musical theatre production for the community. Preliminary activities begin in late October and include sessions to help students prepare for the audition process. Open auditions are held in late November or early December for students in grades 9-12. Rehearsals are usually help on weeknights beginning in mid-December.
Crews support the performers by providing set construction and scenics arts, technical aspects of lighting and sound, as well as stage crew, props, costumes, hair, and make-up. Student instrumentalists are invited to play alongside professional musicians in the pit orchestra. Students in grades 7-12 are eligible to serve as members of the crew or as part of the orchestra.
The Musical presents a preview at Arts Odyssey, participates in various community events, and performs five complete productions over two weekends, usually in April. This program is led by faculty and contracted staff, and is supported by community, parent, and alumni volunteers. Additional information can be found on the Northgate Musical Program website.
