2024–2025 Season
Davis Players is excited to continue the treasured tradition of the Davis Elementary 5th grade play, which originated in 2007!
Davis Players is a volunteer-run, 5th grade theater club that begins in the fall with monthly workshops, and ramps up in January with weekly rehearsals, leading up to a production in April. The program is open to ALL 5th graders who are willing to commit their time, effort and a positive attitude to prepare for the performance.
No part is too big and no part is too small. Students who do not wish to perform, but are interested in helping with the production crew (sound, lights, props etc) are encouraged to sign up and participate! The production of the spring play is part of this process, but the focus is on building a team and working together in a creative way. Should you choose to participate, both students and parents will be required to sign a contract.
Club Fee
The club fee is $25 but if cost is the only thing holding you back from participating, please know the fee can be waived.
Workshop, Rehearsal & Performance Schedule
All workshops and rehearsals will be held on Sundays from 1:30–3:30pm at Davis Elementary (except holiday weekends). The first Fall Workshop is on Sunday, September 29th, 1:30–3:30pm. The season will conclude with final performances on April 25th and 26th, 2025.
Attendance at rehearsals and performances is mandatory. If you know for sure that your child has unavoidable conflicts on two or more rehearsal dates, or any of the production week dates, please do not sign them up as this causes problems for the rest of the cast.
