Parent Portal

Welcome to the spot with ALL THE INFO!

Hopefully all your questions about upcoming performances, camps,

and events can be answered here.

We are thrilled to partner with you and your child in bringing these wonderful productions to life. Families are the heart of our community and at the center of our program. We all know putting on high quality and family-friendly productions requires huge effort, and we could not do it without your support!

In order to bring these great productions to our community, a parent (or other adult 18 or over) must serve on at least one or more of the committees during the production season. The committees and their responsiblities are listed below.

Parents are also required to attend two mandatory parent meetings during the production season. Please also make sure that your child arrives and is picked up from all rehearsals on time.

Audition information

Everyone auditioning for Macbeth needs to participate in an Acting Audition and a Dance Audition. There are two slots: 5-7 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. You will need to prepare audition material (included in the Production Packet).

Dance and Singing Auditions: The optional Singing and the required Dance Auditions take place from 6-7 p.m. We need everyone to participate in the dance audition. You do NOT need to prepare anything; we will teach you a short sequence as a group. There are a few singing parts in the show. If you are interested in singing, please prepare the song included in the Production Packet. We encourage all girls to audition, as some of the main and ensemble parts require singing.

Audition Material: Please prepare the two monologues included in the Production Packet. For the Singing Audition, please prepare the song provided in the Production Packet.

Production Packet: Please review the Production Packet and bring the signed page 8 to auditions.

rehearsal schedule & conflicts

Rehearsals will be held at a few locations. They are noted in the rehearsal schedule.

ES: 12521 Will Clayton Pkwy., Humble

SW: 14350 N Sam Houston Pkwy E., Houston

ATA: 19618 Atasca Oaks. Dr, Atascocita

Please list all your conflicts, directly on this digital sheet.
It is crucial actors and crew attend rehearsals; if you miss a rehearsal for a reason other than an emergency you may be dismissed from the show. Please look over the schedule carefully before you commit. On the schedule, list ALL conflicts you have for each rehearsal–those which can’t possibly be helped (Example: Nov. 16: No Lucy (piano) FLEX). Please proactively check ALL sports, extracurricular, work and social calendars and coaches and teachers, etc. Please make a note if a conflict is flexible.

Once cast, we’ll give more details about when each character is required at rehearsal. Some characters will not be required at every rehearsal; we will let you know as soon as possible any changes to the detailed schedule.

Other Notable Dates

November 14, 2025: Production fee due

January 3, 2026: Actor Headshots

Rehearsal Schedule

COSTUMES, MAKEUP & HAIR

Costumes will be provided for each character. Actors may need to provide their own footwear if it is a style they already own or can borrow.

Stage makeup is required for every actor. Bright lights and distance blur facial features, and stage makeup defines them. We will coach actors on proper techniques, but each actor is responsible for their own makeup application.

Hairstyles. We ask the cast to NOT cut/change their hair between their audition and the show performances, before consulting with the directors. With a period production, hairstyles are very important in creating the proper ambiance. We want everyone to look and feel attractive and confident. We will teach, coach, and provide materials to learn about the period-appropriate hairstyles. Actors are responsible for doing their own hair.

production fee

The actors' production fee is $100, crew fees are $50, and singers/drummer (who do not also have an acting part) are $50. This is due November 14, before the First Read-through. We want everyone who desires to audition to be able to participate. If the show production fee presents a hardship, please let us know.

ticket prices

FREE! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has wonderfully lent their facilities for our production, and they don’t allow ticket or concession sales.

parent responsiblities

Each family will be required to have at least one parent

(or other adult 18 or over) on a committee.

Please see the Production Committees below and fill out the six questions on your child’s audition form.

production committees

All the jobs and responsibilities for each committee are listed below. Every committee will have a lead and their own team of parent volunteers. Each committee lead will work with one of the directors.
