Costume Distribution and Dress Rehearsals

COSTUME INFORMATION
We had a great costume check on Tuesday.  What a great community we have!  Thanks to everyone for helping your child look awesome and get excited for his/her role.  We sent each cast member home with a note for parents, so please be sure you find it.  It detailed any changes that may be needed to costumes, it showed money owed, it also showed that everything was perfect and ready!

We had a few students who did not have payment for costume pieces.  We can accept payment at rehearsal--costumes will be given once payment has been received.  If you have questions, please text me (Mary Ann Fuhriman 801-502-3661).  Here is the previous post regarding costumes CLICK HERE in case you need it.  

DRESS REHEARSAL INFORMATION

Dress rehearsals will be Monday, March 9th and Tuesday, March 10th from 3-6pm (please note the later end time).  Students will need to be PERFORMANCE READY by 3:30 pm. Please take the time to instruct your student on how to get ready on his/her own--or please be available to help your student after school.

Here are some important steps to prepare for a stress-free rehearsal!

PREPARE COSTUMES

• Mark your costume pieces with your name, so if they end up where they shouldn’t you can claim them.
• Bring a basket (crate or sturdy bag) to keep your costume(s) in.  Make sure you return all of your items to the basket at the end of each show--even create a checklist if you have lots of pieces.
• Repair any damage to costumes after each show.

MAKE-UP

All performers need to have basic stage makeup applied before coming to dress rehearsals and performances.  Take some time to teach your performer how to apply makeup, this way he/she can take care of his/her self for dress rehearsals and maybe then feel confident enough for performances.  Create a bag for your performer’s makeup to keep with his/her costume.

We do not have people available to apply makeup for the full cast.  We have many roles that require extensive makeup, and our makeup staff will need to attend to these performers.  Unless told otherwise, leads also need to come with basic makeup applied.

Basic stage makeup includes the following (boys and girls):

• Foundation and powder
• Blush
• Eyeliner and mascara
• Lipstick

 Please watch for an email regarding your student’s hair in the next couple of days!

FOOD AND BELONGINGS

Absolutely NO FOOD/CANDY will be allowed backstage or in cast rooms, so please be sure your performer is well fed before coming to performances. Students will be able to have a snack before dress rehearsal as they are getting ready.  Students should come with a water bottle (marked with their name) to keep hydrated--it gets awfully hot backstage and onstage! We will have a table for water bottles to be kept as no beverages (even water) will be allowed in the cast room.

Students may bring electronic devices and/or books to use during performances.  These items should also be well-marked. Students are responsible for the safekeeping of their property.
