CAST LIST - IN THE HEIGHTS
Hello everyone,
First of all, Thanks to all that auditioned. As much as I enjoy the audition process and working with you all individually, I always dislike having to choose between you. As always, we had to make some very difficult choices. I mean it when I say that we could have chosen 5 different and equally exceptional casts from those that auditioned.
This being said, we still have MANY opportunities for you to be part of the production if you haven’t been cast. TTHA Technical Theatre classes are still open and enrolling and with the blood and makeup effects for this show, I know that we will need much assistance in TTHA M27 Costuming HRisdana@vcccd.edu and TTHA M11A-D Theatre Production: Technical BKoehler@vcccd.edu
A few notes before the cast list:
- I followed the limitations on your audition forms for the roles that you would not accept.
- If you are cast as one of the principles,you MUST be enrolled in the THA M10A, B, C or D class by 1/1/26 if you are to keep your role. The CRNs are 32120, 32124, 32127, 32128 under John Loprieno.
- If you are cast in the DANCE ENSEMBLE, please sign up for DANC M17 CRN 32457 under Beth Megill & VOICE ENSEMBLE please sign up for MUS M31B CRN TBA under David Castillo.
- We will be having a READ THROUGH of the play on Thursday 1/8/26 in PA-149 @ 6:00pm
- COSTUME MEASUREMENTS: Expect and email from Haleh Risdana sometime over break to set an appointment. While no actor will be asked or required to purchase clothing, we may ask for you to bring in items from your personal closets for consideration.
- Sometime over the break, I will also be sending out a rehearsal schedule. Please align it with your work schedule ASAP.
- Someone will be in the shop on Tuesday of next week (12/15). Leads can go and pick up scripts then.
- We will finalize a cast list and send out PDF scripts in the next week. Please keep an eye out for that.
