WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR DRESS REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES:

and a Suntan Leotard or Dalmatian Leo if you have been given one.
You can purchase these on Amazon or at Spell’s across the street from St. Thomas Hospital on Harding Road.

They should arrive for dress rehearsal and performances in their Base Layer and hair and make up.
They should wear a button down or zip up shirt or jacket over their Base Layer.

NO jewelry or Nail Polish, Hair Bands should be the color of their hair, or neutral..no pink, green, etc…

HAIR: Should be slicked back into a neat hairstyle. 2 high ponytails, 2 braids, 1 ponytail or bun, but NO whispies.
Starting with wet hair and using gel or a TON of hairspray will achieve this look!

MAKE UP: Brown eyeshadow, bright blush, mascara and L’Oreal True Red Lipstick (you can purchase this at Walgreens or Kroger).

Gentlemen: Tight fitting / compression short and shirt to wear under their costume.
We have communal dressing areas, so please be sure they have on “underclothes” that will fit under their costume.
Black converse style shoe.

HAIR: Hair should be neatly slicked back with gel or other products.

Make up: We will apply powder as needed.

ATTENDANCE
Attendance is extremely important as we add new material to the show each week. If you know your child has an unavoidable conflict, please let us know ASAP so that we can work the rehearsal schedule around that. We would hate to schedule your child's BIG number only to find out that they won't be attending that day. Each student and every rehearsal are important. The expectation is that they are working on lines and music at home always, but that in no way replaces what is done with the full cast in rehearsal.

DROP OFF / PICK UP
We are located at 106 Page Road, behind the Shell Station.  Doors will open AT class time. 

DROP OFF...Please ALWAYS PARK IN A PARKING SPACE, we do not have a hook up line.  Once you have parked you may walk your child to the door, or they may walk themselves if you feel they are capable and safe.

PICK UP...Please ALWAYS PARK IN A PARKING SPACE, we do not have a hook up line.  Once you have parked you may meet your child on the front porch.  We do not want children running into a dark parking lot to meet parents.  Older students may walk to their cars, but most students will need a parent to meet them on the porch.
