Auditions will be held in the Kilgour gym before school. Those that have signed your student up should be aware of your selected time slot. Please plan to have the students arrive a few minutes early.
A few reminders:
- Auditions are for placement purposes only, everyone receives a part!
- Kiddos do not need to be memorized, the team is looking for acting skills, not reading ability.
- The participation fee must be paid prior to the audition. Pay here
- Students should bring a completed Audition form. Link to Form
- Have lots and lots of fun!
Rehearsals will be held in the Kilgour gym on Thursday mornings from 8am - 9am starting March 7th, 2024.
The performance will take place on May 9th, 2024 at Kilgour.

Our school will start our "One Book, One School" program on Tuesday, 3/5. With the One School, One Book program, we aim to build a community of readers at Kilgour. Everyone - students, teachers, even administrative staff - will be participating! The "One Book, One School" program isn’t just about reading, it’s about igniting a passion for stories. Community reading creates a strong sense of togetherness among students, parents, and teachers.
Our 6th graders will join the (K-5) classrooms on Tuesday through Friday to read to students. On Mondays, there will be a "Mystery Reader" over the announcements to begin reading at 9:15am. Every teacher and administrative staff will also read the book to allow them to engage in conversation with students about the book.
