1st & 2nd Grade 2024 Avery Musical
"Kitty Cat Capers" is a musical that showcases the mischievous, zany, and lovable behaviors associated with our endearing feline friends. The pick of the litter cast, including Copy Cat, Alley Cat, Cool Cats, and Cuddly Cats, feeds us a treat of mewsical talent through their wild and wacky kitty capers.

All About The 1 & 2 Grade Musical
What is a musical? A musical is a performance that combines song, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance to tell a story.
What will my child do? 1st and 2nd grade students will sing, dance, and act their way through a 6 scene musical. Students will create pieces of their costume during rehearsals and work with our volunteers to present an entertaining performance for your entire family (and our school).
Performance: We will present two shows for families on Friday, November 15th at 5:30 and 7:00pm. Tickets are $5/person with a $20 cap per family for each show.
Schedule (see below): We will meet on Tuesday/Fridays with 1 additional Tuesday and 1 additional Thursday prior to the show. Please make sure you can commit to this schedule. The policy will be on a student to student basis but shall not exceed 3 total missed rehearsals.
Fee: The cost of this program will be $80. This includes all rehearsals, and a show t-shirt. All checks are due September 27th. Checks should be made payable to the Town of Dedham (financial assistance is available).
Costumes: We will provide the outer layer of your child’s costume. Students will be making elements of their costume during rehearsal time. You will be asked only to provide a bottom layer which is typically black pants/black shirt and quite possibly some accessories including kitchen items. Please use items you already own for this and do not purchase anything. Details will follow.
Attendance Policy: Students may miss a limited amount of dates with notice. The policy will be on a student to student basis but shall not exceed 3 total missed rehearsals.
Expectations: Avery School rules and behaviors are expected during this after school activity. If unexpected behaviors continue after three rehearsals students will be asked to not continue.
