Welcome to the 2024-25 Redmond Middle School PTSA’s play: The NeverEnding Story. We invite all RMS students to join us on or behind the stage!

 
Participation in the drama production is a popular RMS tradition, and with a no-cut PTSA activity policy, all of the first 30 registered cast students, and the first 10 registered crew students, with payment and/or a scholarship request will be guaranteed a spot. Registration and payments will not be accepted early.  Registration online opens November 20th at 10am and will be available until space is filled or on Dec 2, whichever comes first.

Student participation also involves the following parent volunteer commitments:

  1. Attend the mandatory parent meeting on November 19th at 7pm in the RMS Commons
  2. Be a RMS PTSA member (scholarships available)
  3. Be an approved LWSD volunteer (Application online through lwsd.org)
  4. Minimum of 5 volunteer hours to chaperone rehearsals (2 rehearsals)

Drama Production  FAQ’s

Who can participate in the production? 

All RMS students are invited to participate. In addition, those students who are home schooled or attend a choice school, but live within the RMS attendance area, may participate upon request. 

Can I participate in season 2 sports and the musical?

Because of extensive schedule conflicts, students participating in LWSD season 2 athletics (soccer and badminton), will not be available to participate in the musical.

What are the participant’s fees? 

The fee, payable to RMS PTSA, is due with registration as follows: 

$150 for cast members (on stage)

$40 for production crew members (set and prop design, and backstage)

Full and partial tuition scholarships are available.  E-mail dramachair@rmsptsa.org to inquire

How do I register?

An email with the registration link will be sent to the address provided at the parent meeting. Once registration is confirmed, another email will follow with audition information. 

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

Refunds can be issued up to the point of the first day of rehearsal.

What if I have other activities that I’m committed to? 

Occasional conflicts are allowed, but substantial conflicts may affect the role offered. A conflict calendar will be filled out in conjunction with your audition form. If it’s difficult to commit to four rehearsal days each week, consider joining the tech crew, which meets on Wednesdays only.

What are the Parent committees I can choose from?

Help where you like! Choose from the following committees: Crew Leaders, Makeup & Hair, Load-in & Strike, Design & Publicity, Concessions & Star Grams, and Cast & Crew Party, and more! Detailed descriptions of committee responsibilities and sign-ups will be available at the Parent Meeting on Nov 19. 

I have another question! Who do I ask?
