Dear Miss Musical Theatre Teacher,


Allison wanted to be a part of the Musical Theatre class at her new school, but the auditions were closed. When Allison asked for permission to have an audition, the musical theatre teacher said, "I'll think about it."

I decided to send an email message (below) to Miss Musical Theatre Teacher.

Monday, May 9:
Hello Miss Musical Theatre Teacher,

Hi there, my name is Heather, I'm Allison's Mom. She is a new student at..... and started school there last Tuesday. We are sorry that she was not here for the class auditions for the Musical Theatre class. I wanted to ask a big favor and see if you could please give her a chance with an audition. I realize that we missed the initial auditions, but I promise if you give her a chance you will be pleasantly surprised.

Allison is very talented in anything with music and drama. (I then go on to detail her experience a little more.... ) ...Most important, she is friendly and kind- a good example to everyone around her, including me.

I would really appreciate it if you could please give her a chance at the the musical theatre class next year. I would love to know that she could still join in, she has been very patient when her Dad has transfers with his work and she is always a good sport about starting over again at a new school.

Thanks so much for your consideration,
Heather

Heather,

The class is unfortunately full with 80 students for now. However, if she would like to come audition after school some day, we can see if any spaces open up next year (If students move or things like that)

Thank you,

Miss Musical Theatre Teacher

Miss Musical Theatre Teacher,

Sure, that sounds fine. Can she stop by your office tomorrow sometime?

Thanks so much!
Heather

Thanks! Miss Musical Theatre Teacher

Heather, I wanted to let you know that there is room in the class and Allison will be in musical theatre. I think she will be a great addition.

Miss Musical Theatre Teacher

Hooray! Way to go Allison! ;)
