8th Grade Recognition/Cast Party/Set Strike & Cleanup - Sunday 4/10

Tomorrow is our last performance :(  It is hard to believe it's almost over.   In keeping with tradition, we will recognize our graduating 8th graders after the show.

In addition - all cast members are welcome to sign the Playbill in the gym for the Shrek, Jr.

Immediately following the show will be the Cast Party (cast)/Set Strike & Cleanup (parents).

Cast members can indulge in pizza and drinks and all our little actors should bring their Shrek, Jr t-shirts for shirt signing.  We will have some sharpies handy - feel free to bring your own. 

We ask all play participant parents (Purple & Gold) to help us strike the set (take down/apart the set pieces on stage, clear the props, put away costumes) and clean up the classrooms, art room, gym, etc  - putting everything back in order for classes on Monday.

It's been a great run!  Congratulations to our talented youngsters and thanks to all the parents who have donated so much time and effort to make this such a great experience for everyone.

Hair & Makeup REVISED

We've revised the hair and makeup plan.  We realized we really can't have kids in makeup prior to putting on costumes to ensure the costumes stay pristine, so we've streamlined the instructions.

For characters we feel might need circle cheeks, we'll do that after costumes in the waiting classrooms.

Printable revised instructions are available through the link below:

Dress Rehearsal/Performance Schedule

Please note the following for dress rehearsal/performances and review this information with your children:

• Please arrive at your call times NOT earlier.  We will not have classrooms with smaller children staffed until AFTER their call times. 

• When you arrive, you must:

1.       Check in with the costume staff and get your costume.  They will not release your costume before your call time.  We have staggered times to avoid mass chaos.

2.       Go to your locker room and change.  Bring all clothing back to the costume staff.

3.       Once the costume staff has approved your costume you may report to hair/makeup OR your classroom.

• Before dismissal, you must:

1.       Check in with costume staff to get your costume bag (if necessary) and your street clothes. 

2.       Go to a locker room and change.  Bring all costume pieces back to the costume staff.

3.       Once the costume staff has ensured that all your costume pieces are present, you will be dismissed.

• Food is NOT allowed in any of the classrooms.  We understand that sometimes dinner is a “pick it up on the way” activity.  If this is the case, you must eat your food in the cafeteria BEFORE getting into costume.  YOU MAY NOT EAT FOOD ONCE IN COSTUME!!!

• Children are allowed/encouraged to bring a quiet activity with them to      rehearsals/performances.  This could include cards, a board game, coloring, etc.  Video games/electronics/phones are not allowed for entertainment purposes.  Once in costume, the children will need to be very careful not to engage in activities that could somehow compromise their costume.  A quiet activity is best.

• Classroom Etiquette.  While waiting to go on stage, children should be respectful of the classrooms they’re waiting in.  They are not allowed to play with anything belonging to the classroom.  This includes but is not limited to desks, chalkboards, smart boards, bookshelves, paper, pens, etc.

• Dismissal times are approximate.  Expect that we will run over on Sunday/Monday.  These will be the first rehearsals with set, costumes, props, lights, microphones.  It often takes longer than expected to get things figured out.  Children will be dismissed AFTER their costumes are returned to the costume staff and they have been excused by costume staff (all costume pieces are returned).  This also takes a little extra time the first couple of nights as the children get used to the process.

• Rehearsals are closed!  Parents not volunteering directly with stage production must wait for their children in the hallways, please.  We'd like the performance to be a nice surprise for everyone!

• We need wranglers for performance nights!  If there’s a night you will not be attending a performance and you can help out – we can use you!  A volunteer spot link will be provided for sign-up.
