This week...

Hello all! I hope you're having a lovely weekend. 

I didn't hear from parents last week regarding staying backstage to help corral the young folk. I will need to get one volunteer per night to watch the kids per rehearsal/performance night. I prefer to let you volunteer for a night rather than just start assigning, so please be sure to reply and let me know when you're available. I'll have a script for you to follow along, but either JP or I will make sure you're cued to come in appropriately. 

Publicity photos will be either Tuesday (01/27) or Thursday (01/29) depending on which night is best for our photographer. I'll let you know, but please come in and get into costume as soon as you arrive at the theatre, which means...be prepared and have shoes, socks and accessories. It wouldn't hurt to start wearing your hair like you will for the show, either, especially on those nights listed above. For publicity photos, we may stop to take one or two still photos and some will be taken while in action. For the action shots, please try to ignore the camera. 

General house rules about costumes and such (subject to additions):

1. DO NOT eat or drink in your costume. Water is the exception. 

2. DO NOT wear your costume where an audience member might see you (unless specifically given permission to by Eileen; i.e. greeting the audience after the show)

3. Unless you have been instructed to do so, if it is not your costume, prop piece, set piece, or other show-related item, leave it alone.

Thank you,
