THE UNBREAKABLE VOW
Auditions for this years production are being taken from our Mini Musical project this half term which is based on dedication, professionalism on and off stage, determination, professional conduct in the studio, attendance and ability.
Remember that, in this industry, setbacks are always going to happen but, it is what you do in those moments that you grow and build. I know SOTS students are always supportive of each other and this is something I am proud of. Please do not be disheartened if you have not got a part this year. It just means that this year wasn’t right for you but, there is always a next time as long as you work as hard as you always do as other years may not be for others and will be right for you. We are always so proud of you all.
Remember that if you have been given a part to be mindful of others around you and as per the contract with these parts you need to work hard and be at rehearsals to maintain your role.
If you have been given a role it is up to you to also make rehearsals. If you cannot make them, we MUST know ASAP otherwise we will have to give it to someone else.
Rehearsal schedule will be released on: TBC
We do have other parts to give out which we are undecided on now.
All my Love

CAST LIST FOR THE UNBREAKABLE VOW 2024
WOW! What a term of hard work from ALL of our students. Below is this year’s cast list which is based off this term’s professionalism in class, hard work, attendance, talent and ability which we have been assessing and auditioning in ALL classes throughout the term. For those who took part in Mini Musical this was also a chance for you to show your capability in front of an audience. However, please be reminded that we have other students to also consider who could not make the event too and have auditioned within different lessons to make up for this.
Before looking at the cast list remember that, in this industry, setbacks are always going to happen but, it is what you do in those moments that you grow and build. I know SOTS students are always supportive of each other and this is something I am proud of. Please do not be disheartened if you have not got a part this year. It just means that this year wasn’t right for you but, there is always a next time as long as you work as hard as you always do. Remember that other years may not be right for others and will be right for you. We are always so proud of you all.
Remember that if you have been given a part to be mindful of others around you and as per the contract with these parts, you need to work hard and be at rehearsals to maintain your role. If you have been given a role it is up to you to also make rehearsals. If you cannot make them, we MUST know ASAP otherwise we will have to give it to someone else.
Thankyou in advance to all the parents/carers for your support on this and to help us build professional, humble students who understand the importance of understanding and dealing with rejection and bouncing back from it or to be understanding to those around who have not got a part if you have. This is something which is really appreciated and recognised and does go a very long way.
Good Luck
