WHO CAN AUDITION: Any student from 4th thru 7th grade with the ability to memorize lines and music, sing and take direction. Also, these roles have the most stage time of ANY of the roles...so, will need to be able to be at rehearsals up to 3 times a week from 6 to 8 (and the occasional after school dance rehearsal). ROLES AVAILABLE FOR 5th-7th Graders: Jane Banks: (11), the high-spirited daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Banks, is bright and precocious but can be willful and inclined to snobbishness. Child soprano. Michael Banks: (9) is the cute and cheeky son of Mr. and Mrs. Banks. Excitable and naughty, he adores his father and tries to be like him. Both he and Jane misbehave in order to get the attention of their parents. Male child voice, unbroken.
