FINAL WEEK!!

We made it - this is the week we have been waiting for!  There is still a lot of work in store for us this week, but all that hard work will definitely pay off! 

Please be sure to read all the information below so you are prepared for rehearsals and performances this week!

COSTUMES:
********At the conclusion of each performance you must change out of your costume and show your NEATLY hung costume and accessories to a Costume Representative before you may go down to the lobby to greet friends or family and/or leave for the night.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

FINAL REMINDER THAT ALL MISSING COSTUME PIECES MUST BE BROUGHT TO THE SCHOOL ON MONDAY, MARCH 16TH.

TICKETS:
Advance Ticket sales will take place again in the lobby directly after school on Monday and Tuesday this week until 3:30 pm.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY:
REMEMBER TO EAT SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL BEFORE YOU ARRIVE!!  You will not be leaving the school until after 9pm each weekday performance night, so you need to make sure you fuel up at home.  We will be providing some peanut free snacks that can be eaten in the classrooms before the performance, however, NO outside snacks whatsoever are not permitted anywhere in the school.  Please do not bring anything from home as you will not be able to consume it in the school building.  We apologize for the inconvenience but it is for everyone’s safety. You may bring a water bottle (labeled) to keep with you before the show and in the library when you are not on stage.

CAST PARTY:
We will be having a Pizza Party for all Cast and Crew on Saturday, March 21st after our final performance to celebrate once the dressing rooms and stage are cleared.  The party will take place in the Cafeteria from 4:30 - 5:30, however it is for Cast and Crew of the play only.

PARKING ON THURSDAY AND SATURDAY:
This is a busy week in Newton.  Thursday night at 7pm, St. Joseph's Church on Halsted Street is having a church service for the Feast of St. Joseph.  Parking may be tight along Halsted Street that evening so please urge any family or friends that are coming to the show Thursday night to arrive as early as possible. We are hoping to be able to park cars on the blacktop behind the basketball courts as well.  For Saturday, the St. Patrick's Day Parade will be taking place at 11:30 am. The Emergency vehicles and fire trucks line up by the school along Halsted Street early Saturday morning in preparation for the parade.  In year's past the street has been closed off by the police.  If you have an early arrival time for hair and makeup Saturday morning your parent may have to explain that you have a school function so that you can get through.  Expect delays getting to the school all morning until the parade ends around 1 pm.

HAIR AND MAKE-UP
The Hair and Make-up Schedule is listed below.  Call times for hair and make-up are early because there are so many students in our production.   Time slots are staggered so that we will hopefully have a steady flow of students being helped with minimal wait.  When you arrive at your given time, please report to the upstairs hallway above the library where the classrooms will be used for dressing rooms and hair and make-up rooms.   You will need to get into costume and then report to the hair and make-up rooms.  You can do hair or make-up first – whichever has the smallest line – in order to keep the flow of students moving. 
If for some reason your name was accidentally left off the list below, please bring it to our attention right away so that we can be sure to schedule you a time slot.
