This Weekend!

This Saturday is our costume parade ~ please note that cast is called until 2:00.

We are also doing button photos on Saturday as well.  So, our show crew MUST come dressed in black.  They will be photographed first and will be ready to leave by 1:00.  Buttons are not full body shots so crew may just wear a black shirt on Saturday.

Cast members must wear show costume under garments to rehearsal on Saturday.  We will review this in detail at our parent meeting.  For Saturday, if you don't have the costume undergarments yet, please have your child wear a pair of shorts and tank top under their regular rehearsal clothing.  Kids will be changing in groups, not privately in the bathroom, just like a show so remembering to wear the undergarments is very important.

Cast members must also come with their hair and make up done!  Our parent committee will be there on Saturday during photos to make sure all is right.  We are not looking for perfection, it is our first time out with hair and make up so we are looking for "good" for the photos!  Changes may be made to characters before the show ~ button photos may not match perfectly, and that is okay!

Hair and Make Up!

Here is a link to the Hair and Make up grid for our show cast in Annie Get Your Gun.  The committee chair will discuss the grid at our parent meeting this Friday and answer any questions you might have.

Hard copies will be available at the meeting as well.

Committee Table Needs

Committees that need tables during the run of the show DO NOT need to reserve Journey tables through the office.  There are tables on site at the Washburn Theater that we are able to use!  

Committees that I know will need tables:
Green Room
Props
Souvenirs
Refreshments
Auction

Contact me before move in so we can set your tables aside for you!

Chandelier Needed!

We are looking for a chandelier for the hotel scene. The bigger/fancier looking the better. It does not have to work. Remember, it will be used on stage ~ and will have some wear of use.  If you have one or know of one, will you contact Rob Long or Fredia Thompson. 

Thanks!
  

Cast and Crew Photos

We will be taking our formal cast and crew photos on Saturday, 5/25, our first weekend of shows.  There is one evening show on the 25th.  Call time will change to 4:00 to accommodate the extra time we will need for photos.

These photos are often taken after the school day show.  Our school day show falls on the Thursday of Vancouver's showcase so we want kids to be able to have a break between the show and their class showcase.

The photos taken on this date are the photos that will be on the CD you can purchase through your coupon book for $5.

Mark your calendar ~ call time on Saturday 5/25 is changed to 4:00!

Opening Night Party Menus

Instead of having people pre-order for Opening Night, families will be able to attend the party at Orchard Hills Golf Club and order off the following two menus.  There is no charge to attend the party - please plan to join us and feel free to order food if you'd like!  

We Need Program Ads!

To get a show program that includes head shots and bios as well as group photos of kids in our cast, we need to sell $2500 in program ads.  We are not there yet and the deadline is looming!

We need every one's help.  This is the week to ask those you know with a business or who you do business with if they would like to place and ad in our show program.   If you have a lead on an ad, please contact our program chair, Nancy Vincent.  As our program designer is beginning our program layout, he would like the number and size of ads as soon as possible.

Our first ad deadline is this Friday.  We can stretch that deadline to next week to get a great program!  This is it ~ this is the week to ask!

Also, if you would like to place an ad yourself please contact Nancy.  Parents can place a display ad to honor a first show, last show, special relationship etc at a 30% discount!  These ads, as well as our congratulatory ads which are due May 11th, count toward our sales goal and full program.

(Our second parent meeting is May 10th.  I will be leaving time during that meeting for you to write your congrat ad ~ it is helpful to get them in Friday night to allow time for our program committee to process them and get them to our program designer.)

As I type this post, I am thinking of who I can ask about buying a program ad today!
