The Ryan Gloyer Middle School (RGMS) Musical is an extracurricular opportunity for students in grades seven and eight to participate in all aspects of a full-scale theater production. Students can perform onstage, build and design sets, run stage crew, control lighting and sound, design props and costumes, provide dramaturgy, usher, and serve as stage managers. The RGMS Musical is performed annually during the first or second weekends in November. We will have students from the third and fourth grades to add to our elementary cast. We also have assistance from prior middle school students who are now high schoolers.
All rehearsals are after school and are generally held three to four times a week for six to eight weeks preceding the performances. Students intending to audition should be aware that participation in an after-school sport might coincide with rehearsals and prevent their participation in the play.
We work with students who do not wish to perform on stage, but want to participate back stage as part of our crews. These positions include: sound, lights, set movement, props, costumes and make-up. Anyone who is interested in crew is welcome to join through Microsoft TEAMS. No auditions are required. We will do our best to take all interested stage crew students.

“Oh, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’ best-loved characters collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper!
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
