Come with a picture of your child; a wallet-sized school picture is just fine.
Actors will be called in small groups to read scenes from the play together. If your child is a non-reader, have him or her come prepared to recite a short poem.
We're looking forward to a really fun production full of leprechauns, elves, fairies, good guys, bad guys, a contest, true love, lots of puns and even a bit of dancing.
