SJCCA Theatre Department<\/h2>

About Our Program<\/strong><\/h4>

The theatre arts program has a strong emphasis on performance and skill building for students at all levels.\u00a0 Our curriculum explores studies in not only performance and character development, but also theatre history, design and technical theatre.\u00a0The theater department\u2019s events range from thespian competition to full musical theatre productions. Every child in every performance class has the opportunity to perform at some point in the school year.\u00a0 The theatre department is proud to produce both a full-length play and a mainstage musical each school year.\u00a0 All mainstage productions are open to all grade levels and our students are highly active in Florida Jr Thespians as proud members of Troupe 88467.<\/p>

The Importance of Arts Education:<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>

An arts education is vital for every child to enhance their critical thinking skills, expression of ideas, creative problem-solving and personal exploration. It is also a central component for a productive and compassionate society.\u00a0 Most importantly, it is essential for the arts-oriented child to have a place and the opportunity to explore, understand, and develop their creativity then find a way to properly express it in a safe,\u00a0supportive environment where they will be challenged to do their best.<\/p>

Audition Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>

The SJCCA middle school theatre program is designed to develop fundamental skills in the student actor through physical and vocal training, improvisation, the study of plays and their structure, musical theatre and play production. In addition to classroom experiences, students attend thespian festivals, drama workshops, special performances, and outstanding theatrical productions.<\/p>

For beginners with very limited or no performance experience, we will hold workshop sessions to assess their ability, willingness to participate and attitude for proper placement.<\/p>

Students with performance experience are encouraged to prepare a monologue and do a true audition.<\/p>

The theatre audition will consist of:<\/p>

  1. Monologue<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 Performing a self-introduced, memorized monologue<\/li><\/ol>

    \u00a0(1 minute in length).<\/p>

    1. Brief Individual Interview<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 A discussion between the student and theatre teachers to help determine the student\u2019s level of artistic discipline, interest, and suitability for the program.<\/li><\/ol>

      Audition Tips<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

      As the monologue is being prepared, it is important to note that this should not<\/u> be a scene for 2 or more people.\u00a0 Monologues are one person scenes.\u00a0 Please refrain from using poems, songs or a material written by the student. The monologue should come from a published play or a book of monologues. Monologue books can be obtained from the library, bookstores, the internet, or your school drama teacher, if applicable. Be certain your monologue is age appropriate.\u00a0 The best choice of monologue will give the student the chance to display their ability to create characterization and to move comfortably on stage.<\/p>

      Auditions for the 2026-2027 school year will be held on January 24th, 2026<\/strong><\/p>
