4 Reasons to “Let [Us] Go” to Frozen Jr.

We can hardly believe it, but “For the First Time in Forever,” it’s almost opening night! Our production of Disney’s Frozen Jr. opens this Friday, October 11th, at Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre. Never has the title #TechTuesday been more apt, because today we have a few behind-the-scenes photos from our cast and crew’s load-in rehearsal this weekend. Read on to get a sneak peek at what’s in store and to find out why your attendance at our royal event is required!

1) To hear the beautiful and catchy songs!
This production will feature some of your favorites from the 2013 film (“Let It Go” and “In Summer,” to mention a few), but also introduces several fun and upbeat new melodies for your ears. Our cast has been hard at work since August perfecting harmonies and dance moves. They got their first taste of the real stage on Saturday and can’t wait to share it all with you!

Wishing you were belting it out on stage alongside Elsa? You’re in luck: we’ve got a wide variety of classes and private lessons available for anyone interested in enrolling.

2) To see the kingdom of Arendelle come to life!
As our cast drilled musical notes and dance steps, our Encore Crewtons…drilled! Our crew of 12 to 18-year olds have been busy creating the world of Frozen. We can’t wait to see the various locations of the tale come to life before our eyes.

Interested in learning more about crew or trying your hand at construction and front of house? Auditions and crew interviews for our next two productions, CSI: Christmas Scene Investigators and Narnia will take place on October 22 and 23, 2019.

3) To see the magic come to life!
Are you itchy to see how Elsa’s ice palace will emerge or how Olaf’s snow cloud will take shape? Us too! The adaption of this iconic film and characters have created unique and interesting challenges for our technical designers and crews. We’re looking forward to being swept away, not just by an icy breeze, but by the magic of theatre.

4) To improve literacy and empathy!
Did you know that attending live theatrical productions, while a heartwarming and fun way to create family memories, can also help to make you a better person? A large claim, but stick with us. Studies have shown that engaging with live theatre helps young people in areas such as vocabulary and emotional identification. A pretty great way to spend a day, if you ask us.
