JR. FALCON PRODUCTIONS
SIC's Junior Falcon Productions offers an opportunity for children from around the region to come together for a big musical production (or two) each summer. They have the opportunity to hone their vocal, acting, and dancing skills, meet new friends from neighboring towns, and perform on a real stage. Some of the more recent shows include Mamma Mia!, Tarzan, Madagascar Jr., Annie Jr., The Little Mermaid, Seussical the Musical, Shrek, and Honk.
Auditions are generally held in late April or early May, with rehearsals beginning as soon as school is out for the summer. Children who are interested in a speaking role must audition, but those interested in the ensemble only simply need to register.
