Participants:
Star Artists with Developmental Disabilities
Looking for artists from 3rd-12th grades for the Stars On Stage program. This program provides children with all abilities the chance to shine. There are no restrictions based on the level of cognitive ability, restriction of mobility, or lack of communication skills.
Star Peers
Looking for volunteers from 3rd-12th grades to participate in the Stars On Stage program as peers. Star Peers rehearse alongside their partners, The Stars, who are differently-abled students or alumni. Star Peers learn the Stars' lines, music and choreography so they can assist throughout rehearsals and even onstage during productions. Star Peers will be costumed to mirror their Stars and will assist them as needed.
When do rehearsals start?
Star Peers will have training on Monday, Sept. 11th, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the BAPAC, Tuesday, Sept. 12th, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the BAPAC, and Monday, Sept.18th from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the BAPAC. For the Star Peer training, peers do not have to attend all three trainings; they will need to attend at least one before the Sept. 19th rehearsal. The first rehearsal for everyone will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 19th, from 6 pm-7:30 pm at the BAPAC. Rehearsals are held 1-2 times a week for the first month, with additional rehearsal days added each month until February's performance. Rehearsals will be held at the Kirkland Theatre and the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center.
Rehearsals will be one hour and thirty minutes long. We will spend the first 5-10 minutes doing warm-up dances, then move on to learning songs and dances for the show!
