Wonderland Awaits!

SCHEDULE:

Tuesday:  Dress Rehearsal 2:50-6:00PM

All students should have their costumes ready to go and contained in a basket or bag.  If you are unclear about what your child needs, please refer to the following LINK.  We have asked students to apply their own basic makeup at school.

Wednesday: School Performance at 9AM

Students should come to school with their hair and makeup DONE.  They will need to check in with their teacher then report to the gym before changing into costumes. 

Wednesday: Curtain Call 6PM

Students should come to school with their hair and makeup DONE.  They should also arrive wearing their prologue costume.  

Thursday:  Curtain Call 5:30PM--PICTURE DAY

Students should come to school with their hair and makeup DONE.  They should wear the costume for their scene for pictures.  They will then change into their prologue costume.  Please please be on time or your child may not be in the cast pictures.  We will not have time to wait.

Friday: MATINEE: Curtain Call 12:50PM

Students should plan on staying after school and getting ready at school.  This includes basic makeup and hair, so please instruct your child how to do these things.  Plan on picking your child up at 3:30pm.

Friday: Curtain Call 6PM

Students should come to school with their hair and makeup DONE.  They should also arrive wearing their prologue costumes.    

We have a few random notes to share:

Please no flip flops, sandals or boots.  Please make sure kids wear closed toed shoes as there are a lot of moving pieces on stage and we don't want any accidents.

Please feed your student well before performances.  Food is not allowed in the cast waiting areas. 

Please send your child with an activity for the cast waiting area.  Our Parent Patrol will do their best to keep kids quiet and ready for their cues--but a few activities from home are helpful.  Gaming devices, books, card games etc. can be very helpful.

For social media sharing, please use #RosecrestAlice so we can have fun seeing everyone's pictures.

A HUGE THANK YOU!

This production would be impossible without the many hours of service so many have given.  We are an amazing community!  It is a pleasure to watch each person do his/her part.  Thanks to all of you for giving how you can.  If you haven't found a way to help--check out these sign-ups (Volunteering or Parent Patrol) again.  Your child would love to see you be part of the fun!

These kids really are great. It's been fun working with them and it's going to be a great show because of them!

PARENT PATROL DURING PERFORMANCES

We are in need of volunteers to help mange our performers backstage during performances.  This is a critical part of a successful show, so if you haven't found a way to help, this is a perfect opportunity!  Remember, three hours of service is required for your child to participate--otherwise, you will be assessed a fee of $20 (We would much rather have your time than your money however!) 

You can sign up HERE.

CLARIFICATION & COSTUMING

As a point of clarification, cast members should not attend the Technical Rehearsal on Thursday this week.  This is for Stage Crew only.  The tech rehearsal will go from 12:45 - 2:45.

Costume notes went home today.  Please read through it carefully.  If your child is a lead, you should be aware of what is needed (they did not receive a note).  All of the costuming notes are contained in the following link: COSTUMING NOTES FOR ALL.   Payments for costumes should be made tomorrow (Wednesday).  The note that was sent home said that payment would be taken on Thursday, but I didn't realize the cast was not included in this rehearsal.  If you have trouble with making your payment tomorrow, please contact Mary Ann Fuhriman (801-502-3661; maryannfuhriman@msn.com).  Costumes will be distributed on Monday.  Do not forget to bring the costume requirements YOU are responsible for to dress rehearsal on Monday.
