Hi!
I am a middle school theatre teacher with a background in tech theatre. The chorus teacher at my school has informed me that she will not be able to commit to an after-school musical this year due to her graduate program and health issues.
Any suggestions on Jr-level musicals with easy to teach music? I have a musical background through instrumentation and I can vocally match pitch and hear if others are matching pitch. I could MAYBE pick out notes on a piano and that is the extent of my musical direction ability.
I was thinking about a show like "Once Upon a Mattress" because 2 characters need to sing and the rest are just character performances. Thoughts? Suggestions? I have also been looking into "plays with music" but the only one I can find that has resources is "Peter and the Starcatcher" and I'm not sure our middle school could pull off a full-length play at this time.
Thanks for all help/ suggestions!
