Show Dates: March 18-20th and March 25-28th

This production is a Box Show, designed for actors ages 13-18. This show is done in more of a workshop style then our other shows. This is a great opportunity for new actors as well as actors looking to do material that is a bit more challenging. There is a $50 production fee due on the first night of rehearsals.

Auditions will look a little different! We will have groups of 5-8 people in 15-minute increments. If you have scheduled your audition already you should have a confirmed time slot. Please arrive at the quarter-hour before your audition slot (6:05pm will arrive at 6pm).

Please fill out the audition form in advance and bring it with you to the theater. We will have some hard copies available if needed. We will also ask that only the actors auditioning enter the theater. Parents are asked to remain in their car or in the lobby (Max of 8 parents in Lobby).

If you are cast, you will be invited to the parent meeting on Thursday, February 17 at 6pm.

Please always wear a mask while in the building and please ensure that you are healthy and not experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19.

About Juvie

Synopsis

Shelly O'Day's review in the Spartan Daily of the Northside Theatre Company's production in San Jose, California, summarizes the plot: "Set in a juvenile detention center, Juvie depicts the life of kids who are scared, lonely and locked up. Some are drug offenders, some have killed and some are just misfits. Although the set never changes, the "juvies" venture out of their cells to tell why and how they were caught. The barren cell and lack of props are effective in keeping with each character's desolation." The English Journal called McDonough the "Father of Young Adult Drama" because he was among the first to tackle the problems facing youth today in a straightforward, effective manner without profanity and obscenity. Juvie was the most-produced play by National Thespian Society members at one time, and McDonough's Addict and Dolls later joined Juvie on the top ten list. Since McDonough's death in 1999, we continue to get requests for biographical information from students who want to write an essay on the positive influence McDonough's plays have had on their lives.
