CAST LIST - "THE LION KING"

**Hey All!

Below you will find the CAST LIST for "THE LION KING!" There are two casts... The Panthers Cast & The Lions Cast. I did my best to accommadate all siblings. If I didn't, it is an oversight and will be fixed at Sunday's, January 29th Rehearsal from 11:00-1:30. I can honestly say I am extremely proud of this script! EVERYBODY will find they have a great deal of stage time as well as dialogue! I tried to really cast against type this time around in order to give some newer performers a chance, and challenge some of our "veteran performers". Please realize that the casting process is very difficult and we really do the absolute best we can. There is a lot of thought and energy that goes into it, and the succes of every child is the priority in making each decision. I hope everyone is happy with the way the cast turned out and plese remember... EVERY CHARACTER IN THIS SHOW IS IMPORTANT AND WILL BE FEATURED QUITE A BIT! This script more than any other I feel accomplished that goal!

**NOTE - FIRST REHEARSAL, SUNDAY JANUARY 29TH FROM 11:00-1:30. MANDATORY PARENT MEETING, 1:30-2:15. Please bring the registration check for $235.00. All scripts, schedules, and volunteer commitee forms will be handed out and discussed.

Enjoy the weekend and cya all Sunday!!
