Postponed
The 2020 Spring Musical:
Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID!

FAQ Of the Week: What now?

Q: Is the show cancelled?
A: No. We are hoping to postpone the performance, instead of cancelling entirely. However, since we don't know when we will be returning to school, we cannot say when the new performance dates will be. We will be working with our theater licensing company, MTI, to choose new dates when we have more information.

Q: Should we keep practicing?
A: Yes! When we do return, we want to be able to pull our show together in a few weeks, so we need to make sure that we don't forget everything we have learned! Use your time at home to practice your songs (lyrics AND harmonies), dances, and lines/blocking so that your skills stay sharp!

Q: How can we stay connected to our drama family?
A: We have set up a Google Classroom for everyone who is involved in drama (cast AND crew). Mrs Daigle and the other teachers will be posting videos, warm up exercises, and other tools to help you stay connected and keep using your drama skills. Join our Google Classroom with the code zmobjdg.

Q: Will you be refunding our ticket money?
A: That's up to you! You have 2 choices* when it comes to tickets:
  1. Do nothing and wait for the new preformance dates. Your tickets and seat choices will transfer to the new performance dates when we have them. (If you cannot attend on the new date(s), or need to switch your tickets to a different performance, you will still be able to do that when we announce the new dates.)
  2. Get a refund on your tickets now by contacting our box office at MKMSDrama@gmail.com. We will be happy to cancel your tickets and provide you with a full refund. However, be aware that we will then release your seat selections back into the general ticket pool. You will need to buy new tickets from the seats that are remaining when the new performance dates are announced.

* In the event that the performance cannot be rescheduled and is cancelled entirely, all ticket holders will have the opportunity to request a full refund. If the show is  cancelled, you may also opt to donate the cost of your tickets to the MKMS Drama Fund by waiving your refund. Since the drama club is entirely self-funded, we depend on ticket money each year to offset the costs of the performance. Your donation would help us weather this unprecedented situation and allow us to continue this program in the coming years. 

Q: Are we still going to get t-shirts?
A: YES! We will be ordering t-shirts for the students who turned in the forms and money. The shirts will be ready in a few weeks. Watch this page for more information about how and where will distribute the t-shirts when they come in. 

Q: What if we stay out for the rest of the school year?
A: Mrs. Daigle, Mr. Lambert, and all of your drama teachers are determined to give you a chance to perform and show off all of your hard work. We are considering a summer program, a fall performance (with our current 8th graders to return as "special guest performers"), and other ideas to help make sure that you get your chance to shine. 

If you have other questions, please do not hestiate to contact us! We are here for you and we WILL get through this together. Be well!

The Little Mermaid
CAST LIST
 We had 96 students audition this year! It was a very hard decision process, but I am confident that we found a good "home" for each of our actors.

Remember that many parts in the musical are bigger than they were in the movie. Wait for Monday's read-through to get a better sense of what each part entails.

Our first rehearsal is Monday, and it is for ALL actors/actresses. 

We are so excited about this year's cast! Congratulations to all of the students who auditioned - it takes real bravery to put yourself out there, and you all did a great job.

Love from,
​Your Directors
