Auditions for the 2025 PHS Spring Musical!
PHS Spectacle Theatre is excited to announce Auditions for this year’s Musical: Groundhog Day The Musical.
“Critically acclaimed on both the West End and Broadway, Groundhog Day revels in one man's journey of self-discovery, day after day. Inspired by the hilarious film starring Bill Murray, Groundhog Day features a book by original co-screenwriter Danny Rubin, and music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Tim Minchin (Matilda the Musical). How would you spend your time if forced to repeat the same day over and over again? Phil Connors, a seasoned big-city weatherman, is frustrated to be to reporting the annual Groundhog Day Ceremony in small town Punxsutawney, PA. His arrogance and cynicism are in direct opposition to the cheery townsfolk, who are ready for their favorite Groundhog to not see his shadow and welcome an early spring. After disdainfully covering the rodent's negative forecast, he awakens the next day only to discover it's February 2 once more. Initially in disbelief, Phil finally accepts he is doomed to repeat the same day over and over again... Will Phil accept that he is doomed to repeat the same day over and over again? Or will he find the courage to change himself and his fate?” (from MTI).
Auditions begin on Monday, December 9 at 3:30pm in the Black Box Theatre. The dance auditions are on Tuesday, December 10 from 3:30-5:30pm in the PAC. All students auditioning must attend both days. More information about auditions, casting, and other show information can be found in the Audition Information Packet (linked here!).
If you have any questions, reach out to Ms. Krawiecki at juliannakrawiecki@princetonk12.org.
All students at Princeton High School are invited to Audition for the Musical!
About the PHS Drama Program
Whether a student dreams of starring in a show, leading the technical team, or helping manage a theatrical production, the PHS Drama department has a long legacy of introducing students to theatre in a way that builds confidence on and off stage. From Drama I classes to the Advanced Acting and Performance Seminar, students explore all aspects of theatre through hands-on experiences.
Drama classes are offered during the day so that students are able to participate in theatre productions while also being a member of an athletic team or other after-school organization. Courses offer students a creative outlet while also introducing them to the principles and techniques of playwriting, including plot structure, dramatic action, point of view, mood, character development, setting, written dialogue, and stage directions. In addition to acting courses, PHS also offers a course on Musical Theatre that explores song and dance and provides students with practical steps to pursuing a career.
Our theatre facilities include the 700+ seat Trego-Biancosino Auditorium and a black box theatre. A full student orchestra accompanies the annual spring musical.
