We are always happy to help.

Casting

Children are cast by musical ability (pitch, range, and harmony), improv and acting skills, dancing skills, and attendance. We also sometimes consider the “look” needed for a certain character, as well as the on-stage chemistry between characters. Group requests are honored whenever possible. All children get a chance to shine! Every actor has a minimum of 2 lines.

The Staff

All staff members have had extensive experience working in theater, in music, and with youngsters. Child-to-adult ratio is usually about 12 to 1.

Parent Participation

We need your help to make it happen. LPRT is a family participatory program. Parents are our greatest strength! Parents are required to sign up to work a minimum of 2 performances doing set up, clean up, selling concessions, supervision of actors (green-room).

Comp Tickets

You may earn two complimentary tickets for each child you have in the show by logging in additional volunteer hours. Comp-jobs include: set building or painting, costume making, garbage hauling. Sign-up for volunteer jobs at the first parent meeting.
