    The idiom 'far parte di' (to be part of) uses the verb 'fare' (to do/make), not 'essere' (to be).

  • Farai parte a la recita della scuola?

    The idiom 'far parte' always takes the preposition 'di' (of), which contracts with the article 'la' to become 'della'.

  • Farai parte di recita della scuola?

    'Recita' is a feminine noun, so it requires the definite article 'la' (the), forming 'della recita'.
