A CHRISTMAS STORY: THE MUSICAL AUDITIONS

by | Oct 2, 2018

Bluefield Youth Theatre will hold auditions for their December production of A Christmas Story: The Musical on October 16 and 17 from 4:00-6:00 pm in Harman Auditorium on the Bluefield College campus.  Auditions are open to all children and youth ages 6-18.  Those interested in auditioning need to prepare a short song and be ready to read from the script. Those participating in the cast will be required to register with the Bluefield College Fine Arts Community School. Visit the FACS web page at www.bluefield.edu/FACS for registration/tuition  information.

A Christmas Story: The Musical is based on the beloved 1983 Christmas movie by the same title.  Based on the humorous writings of Jean Shepherd, A Christmas Story is set in the 1930’s and follows the adventures of young Ralphie Parker as he plots and maneuvers to snag the ultimate Christmas present for any red-blooded American boy—a beautiful brand new Red Ryder BB gun!  The stage play features all the memorable moments from the film with roles for boys and girls from elementary through high school.

Bluefield Youth Theatre was founded in 2007 by Bluefield College theatre faculty Charles M. Reese and Rebecca McCoy-Reese.  In the last eleven years the company has produced twenty-four stage productions featuring the children and youth of the two Virginias.  A Christmas Story: The Musical will be the group’s twenty-fifth production.

A Christmas Story: The Musical will run December 13-16 with evening performances at 7:30, Thursday-Saturday and 3:00 Sunday.  Rehearsals will be held Monday-Friday, 4:00-6:00 pm beginning October 18.  You can register at www.bluefield.edu/FACS.  For more information contact the Bluefield College Theatre department at 276-326-4244 or write [email protected].

Do I only apply once?

  • No. Students must apply each academic year for the fall semester and submit the necessary documents.

Do I have to take the classes specified in the Associate's Degree tracks as they are listed on the information sheet?

  • No. Students may take any of the courses that are offered in a given term.

Where do I find the textbook listing, and where do I purchase the books?

  • Log in to myBU, and under the "Student" tab, you will find a list of the textbooks required (if any) for each course. Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks.

How long is a semester?

  • Our semesters are divided into two 8-week terms.

Is there an orientation?

  • Yes. Students can attend an orientation session that explains how to access courses, how to register for classes, and answers other questions.

Where can I find a course description?

Does the student need to take the SAT or ACT in order to take Dual Enrollment classes?

  • No. If a student decides to study at BU full time, BU is currently test-optional for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle.

Are the classes live? Do students need to log in and participate at certain times?

  • Classes are offered online, so a student can log-on and study at their convenience and their own pace. Students have assignments due each week; you can complete your assignments at any point in time before the deadline.

Does an Early College student need to come to campus for anything?

  • No. However, we would love to have you visit our campus if you are interested in continuing with traditional on-campus study. Students who complete their associate's degree have the option to walk at our commencement ceremony.

Are Early College students able to receive Financial Aid?

  • No. However, Early College courses are very affordable compared to other options. The cost for an online Dual Enrollment course is $100 per credit hour.

How do transferring credits work?

  • Each College or University completes a transcript review in order to decide which courses transfer. Sticking to general education classes generally makes transferring credits simple. All Early College courses at Bluefield University are general education classes that should transfer to another accredited institution.

Is an Early College student considered, and treated, as a transfer student when they become a full-time college student if they have earned enough credits to be a Junior?

  • No. Since they have not graduated from high school, they are considered a first-time college student regardless of how many credits transfer. However, by transferring credits when they enroll as a full-time student, they will have to take fewer classes to receive their bachelor's degree, which shortens the length of time to earn the degree.

Can I speak to someone if I have more questions?

  • Yes. Please contact the Office of Admissions by email or you can call them at 276.326.4231
