There are several students who still need to bring in costume pieces. Please have them ready to hand in on Tuesday unless you have made prior arrangements with us.
Everyone needs to review their lyrics for their songs. Leads who received a CD with their solos on it need to practice with their CDs over the next week.
Advanced Ticket sales will take place this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 10th, 11th & 12th directly after school until 3:30. Tickets are $5 and can be paid for by cash or check made payable to "Halsted Middle School".
Some parents have let us know that they are able to help with hair and make-up the week of the show. If you are interested please see the information at the end of this page for details. Thank you!

Hair

Nurse’s office.
Hair responsibilities:
This
year we only need to worry about hair dos for the girls. Depending upon their character, girls will
need either ponytails, braids or buns (only a few buns!). We will have a list with the character name
and the type of hair do they will need. Other
than that, we just need to bobby pin back any hair that would fall into or
cover their face.
Make-up responsibilities:
Make-up
will be applied like street make-up only darker/heavier than a person would
wear in public. Foundation is a shade or
two darker than the actor’s face. Eyes
are lined and mascara applied as well as Blush and Lip color for all actors,
male and female. The reason for the
heavier than usual make-up is so that the actors’ faces do not get washed out
under the bright stage lights. Once they
are under the lights it does not appear so dark and heavy! The last step is to powder
or “skunk” the nose so that it does not appear shiny.
If
you could send a quick text or e-mail to let us know when you would be
available to help out, that would be fantastic!
