Also- we are excited to give our ticket booths a facelift after use for (and in) many shows and concerts!

We had another amazing night of auditions tonight! We know many of you are anxiously awaiting the cast list, but we are sorry to say that you are going to have to wait a couple days! We have a lot of tough decisions to make- and that’s a GOOD thing!

All aboard! The JBHS Drama Club is excited to announce our spring musical for 2027 is Cole Porter’s classic ANYTHING GOES! Revised in 2022 for modern audiences, Anything Goes is full of jazz standards, including the titular number as well as “Friendship,” “You’re the Top,” “It’s De-Lovely,” and “I Get a Kick Out of You”!

Be like the bluebird and mark your calendars for March 19-21, 2027!

AUDITION INFORMATION COMING SOON!!!

Ready to take the stage?! Your "Anything Goes" audition starts here!

It's time to warm up those vocal cords and get ready to show us what you've got! The JBHS Drama Club audition videos for "Anything Goes" are officially available on YouTube, so you can start practicing today!

We've prepared two audition songs for male roles and two for female roles, with two videos for each song to help you prepare.

Rehearsal Track: The vocal melody is played prominently along with the accompaniment so you can hear your part clearly and practice learning the song.

Audition Track: The same accompaniment, but without the vocal melody. This is the track you'll sing with at auditions!

Here's how to prepare:

1. Start with the rehearsal track to learn the melody and become comfortable with the song.

2. Once you're confident, switch to the audition track and practice singing without the melody guiding you.

3. Keep practicing until you're ready to show us what you've got!

Watch the complete audition playlist here:

We can't wait to see everyone at auditions on October 27 & 29!

Break a leg!
