Hello all!
We have now run through each section completely. Now it's time for fine tuning! I know many of you are out of town for holidays...but remember to memorize! Look over lines and cues. When we are back, we are OFF BOOK!!!
PARENT PATROL
It has become absolutely needed that we have a parent downstairs with kids while they are waiting for their turn on stage. Without naming names, some kids were sliding on the banisters inside and out. I can not be in the basement watching the kids, and therefore need a parent to do this for me. You know the difference between safe and unsafe, so please bring something to do and keep and eye on your kids in the basement when they are not onstage.
CLEAN UP AFTER SELF
Parents have been AWESOME at this when given a task to do...however, the kids are not so good at cleaning up after themselves when they have a snack upstairs in the audience. We do not have a janitor, so it is each of our responsibilities to take our water bottles and trash with us when we leave rehearsal.
COSTUMES TO BE SEWN
I forgot to mention this before, but any person who sews a costume for someone OTHER than a family member will receive 2 "costume comp" tickets to the show for each costume completed. There are 9 indian costume basic dresses to be sewn. We have materials and patterns for these costumes...it would be a shame to let the patterns and materials go to unused. I know the indians are looking forward to decorating the costumes once basic dresses are complete. ALL COSTUMES ARE DUE July 16.
OTHER COSTUMES
Remember, Pirates and lost boys...you are responsible for your costumes. Indians, if costumes are not sewn for you, you will be responsible for yours as well. Indians, if you find something that you think would be PERFECT for your costume, feel free to get it to add to costume when we are decorating. Provided costumes are done by the start of camp, Indians will decorate their costumes on Monday or Wednesday. Check the costume page for more information. www.daretodreamtheatre.com/costume.html
CUES AND ENTRANCES
Monday July 9th "location sheets" will be posted backstage letting each actor know where they should be waiting for their entrance. Become familiar with their location
