    Hello!

    Can you go to the neighborhood and local schools and invite a few students to audition for the role? We are in rehearsal for that show and it opens next week. We have a 7th grade portraying that role and it works because his voice hasn't switched over and he's still little.

    Good morning!

    When we piloted Freaky Friday last spring, I sent an email out to our faculty to see if anyone had a young son who was interested in theater.  We got a great response, and found an awesome 4th grader to play Fletcher.  I liked pulling from the school community.  Felt like we were keeping it in the family.

    And....it just so happened that he had a head full of red hair....just like the junior we had playing his mother!

    Good luck.  What a fun show!
