IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR LAST SUNDAY REHEARSAL!

 


PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS VITAL TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR ENTIRE CAST & CREW THAT YOY STAY FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF YOUR CALL TIME/REHEARSAL.

All rehearsals are now mandatory, barring illness, as we prepare to dazzle and amaze over 2,000 guests with the work of the over 130 students in the show.

The limited time we have left means every hour and minute is important. This last week of rehearsals are the most intensive blocking and choreography as costumes, props, and scene transitions are now incorporated with the singing and movement we learned in January and February.

We sadly cannot accommodate any further early dismissals or late arrivals without impacting scene involvement or placement as these disrupt scenes, blocking, and choreography.

STAR WALL

We will be creating a STAR WALL to feature our amazing young thespians. By THIS Sunday, March 13th, please send in a 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10 headshot/school picture/close up photo of your child (only your child in the picture please), with their name and grade printed on BOTH the back of the picture and the envelope you submit it in. You may drop this off at Sunday practices or leave it with the front desk of either campus. Please write on the envelope Star Wall. 

FROZEN VOLUNTEERS

With almost 120 performers, we need all hands on deck volunteering to help make our performers shine.

Please consider volunteering; there are many, many open volunteer spots that need to be filled.


Dear Frozen Folk,

 

It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a full battalion to make the imagination of Kendrick come to life and shine through our kids on stage. 

 

We are thrilled to be able to offer many fun volunteer opportunities on both days of our dress rehearsals and during each of our 4 shows. In an effort to streamline volunteers responsibilities in each of the assigned dressing rooms, we kindly ask that volunteers try to commit to BOTH: 1 shift on either day of Dress Rehearsals AND 1+ spot as a Room Volunteer at ANY of our 4 shows. Having volunteers at each show who have an understanding of timing, door entrance and exits, correct costumes, etc. is extremely helpful to both the kids as well as the other volunteers running around during each show. 

 

Please click on the Volunteer Spread Sheet Link to see the available (Green) volunteer opportunities we have. Please email Mr. Frank  the spots you would be open to assist with.


PLEASE CLICK THE COSTUME VOLUNTEER LINK HERE TO SIGN UP - this is the link for THIS FINAL SUNDAY COSTUME HELP.

 

 

Dress and Show Help:

1.       Grade Level Slots – This is extra hands inside of the holding/dress areas for each grade level.  This responsibility includes help with getting in to and maintaining costume, assistance with props, and help with cues for in and out (we will give directions on all of this).

2.       Concession – the fastest 20 minutes you have ever spent with friends peddling water at light speed J  This is help with setting up and running our pre-show and mid-show water, Fan-O-Grams and Merchandise sales.

3.       Make-up and Hair – Help transform our middle school thespians to ready for stage performers (lower school students come with make-up already applied {lots of info on this coming in the weeks ahead}.  This role is not listed on the spread sheet, but if you are interested, please let Mr. Frank know and he will collect your names so that Ms.Kendrick can let me know how many she needs as we get closer.

 





Cast Party will be held during the Friday (March 18th) dress rehearsal. The party will be at the end of our dress rehearsal, snacks, and drinks will be provided by The Davis Academy. This party is only for cast and crew members. Volunteers who are assigned to help on this day will also attend and assist.

Letter from Gift Chair

Image result for theatre director mug



Dear Parents,

I am writing to ask you for your support in recognizing our Director Kendrick Phillips and several other people who have gone over and above to make our show the huge success that it will be. Each year Kendrick, our director, works tirelessly, long after rehearsals are over to make sure our school production resembles something you may have seen on Broadway – staging the show, creating the design of the costumes, designing the sets, props, creating all of the choreography, shopping, and more.

There are also a number of dedicated staff and volunteers who give countless hours of their time to ensure the high quality of our production. For those of you that are new to this experience, you will be amazed to see close to 130 children ages 5-14, come together for some unforgettable performances. Please show your support for Kendrick and the production staff by donating amount of your choosing per child in the play (or an amount of your choice) to help purchase a Director's gift and flowers/thank yous for all who make our kids smile and shine when they are on stage.

Please Venmo @tmand or email me tamaramand@gmail.com if you would prefer to give a different way. We would love to collect all the money by the cast party on March 18th.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you so much,

Tamara Mand
