Saltwater Song
2018 Summer Musical


Read Play Love brings an inspiring twist to The Little Mermaid in our newest original musical.

Kids age 4-16 are invited to join our world of mermaids, fantastical sea creatures, mischievous sharks, helpful pirates, and human who dare to dream in spite of all obstacles.

​Performances are August 9 and 10 at Dallas Childrens Theater.

Auditions:
We create a role for every child who auditions.  Auditions can take place in person or by video. We invite children to sing a song of their choosing, and to relax and have fun. At Read Play Love, even our auditions are designed to be positive, empowering experiences for kids!

Rehearsal Times: (note that rehearsals times have been adjusted to minimize rush hour traffic for participants)

Mondays & Wednesdays, starting July 9

2:00-4:00 - Full Cast  (most actors will be called both days; we can work around minor conflicts)

Principles/special groups may also be called during these times:

12:00-2:00 -- Wednesdays and Fridays

Production week (August 6 & 8) will also have evening rehearsals for full cast at DCT, 5:00-8:00.

We do our very best to accommodate busy summer schedules! Each family submits a list of schedule conflicts, which plays a role in casting into different groups. 
 Full schedule will be available on the first rehearsal so you can plan ahead.
 
Design Time:
As a new component of RPL productions, we will hold Saltwater Song "Design Time" on Friday afternoons, where kids can drop in to work on set and props for the show.  There is no cost to participate in Design Time and you don't have to commit to attending a certain number of sessions.  There also may be opportunities for other tech theatre projects, i.e., sound editing.

Performances: 

Thursday August 9 & Fri August 10 @ 7:00pm
Performance Location: Dallas Children's Theater (the Studio Theater) 

Tentative Encore Matinee on Wed August 15 @ 2pm, location TBA.
(a conflict with this performance does not exclude you from participating)
​Additional performances may be scheduled in other locations, determined by the availability of the cast.
