One final show today and then the celebrations can begin!! Thank you everyone for supporting our decision to start the show again after several mics decided they just wanted to be sassy and not work. We felt it was more important to have everyone be heard than missed.

Today's call is 11:30, I will be at school by 11am. I still need two parents to help sell stuff before and after the show today. You will be given priority seating down front so you do not have to compete with the long line of people. Please message me, and I'll get back to you. Thanks :)

Our cast party will occur today after the show. Usually this starts around 3:15-3:30pm. However, the time is all depending on how long it takes to check-in costumes, strike the set, and clean up the back stage areas. Lots of parental help can be used during this time as well.

Let's have one final AWESOME show and then celebrate a successful run. I'm so proud of each and everyone of my theatre kids who have grown into fine performers throughout this process :)

It is hard to believe that we are already to a public performance day as it seems we just started with a read through last week. Today's call is 5:30 (this is the exact time the spaghetti dinner ends). Students can either go home after school or stay and participate in the spaghetti dinner fundraiser. Tomorrows call will be 11:30am.

Tickets will be sold one hour before the show starts for each public performance. All seats are $6.00 general admission.

Please note... the house will not open until 30 minutes before the show starts as there are mic and sound checks that need to be completed. Please respect the cast and crew by remaining outside the auditorium doors until the house is opened. A few chairs are available for those that would need to sit while waiting for the house to open, but it is best to wait until 30 minutes before the show starts to to come into the building.

Also, this is a reminder that immediately following tomorrow's show we will be striking the set, checking in costumes, and cleaning the backstage areas before we begin the cast party. This normally takes a couple hours after the show ends before the party starts. However, many hands make light work :)

Two performances today (this afternoon is our 8th graders :) The cast will miss all their classes today, yet they are responsible for getting homework from their teachers. Also, tradition is that everyone walks to Dairy Queen for a treat after school. Looking forward to watching the kids dig deeper into their characters today now that they have one audience in the books :)
