Final Week of Music Man Jr! Lots of Information!

The final week of play season is here! There is still much to do to make sure that our production is a success and it is more important than ever that every student attends the MANDATORY rehearsals this week.  We thank you in advance for your support and cooperations!

Please note the following important information:

1)  ALL MISSING COSTUME PIECES ARE DUE AT REHEARSAL MONDAY, APRIL 3RD - This is the absolute last day to bring in costume pieces. Many of you still need to bring in black pants and black shoes. They should be brought directly to the costume crew for labeling and hanging up.

2)  All Students will be wearing stage makeup for the show to keep their faces from washing out under the harsh stage lights.  Each student needs to bring their own eyeliner and mascara to be used for this purpose.  These items will be bagged and labeled with the student's name and will be their property to take home after the show.

3)  We are no longer accepting booster or ads as the program needs to be printed this week.  Thank you to everyone who submitted boosters and ads to support our program!

4)  We are still in need of parents to help sell tickets for the 30 minutes leading up to each performance.  If your parent can help with one of these time slots please e-mail Mrs. Penny at mpenny@newtonnj.org.  Thank you!

5)  Hair and Make up Volunteers:  Several parents graciously volunteered to help with either Hair or Make up for our show.  Volunteers should report to the school on Wed, Thurs and Fri at 4pm and Saturday at 11am.  Thank you in advance for your help!!!

6)  Students:  you will be arriving for dress rehearsal and performances starting at 4pm.  Please make sure that you have something substantial to eat before you come to the school as you will be there until roughly 9:30 at night.  There will be snacks available but they won't fill you up if you didn't eat anything substantial before you arrive.

7)  There are still tickets available for each show.  The box office will be open 30 minutes before each show for you to purchase tickets.

Rehearsal Schedule for the Week of April 2nd: 

Please note that these rehearsals are Mandatory and were noted on the original audition contract.  We made a special point of not asking students to miss their evening activities and obligations during play season (such as CCD or Scouts) as we knew they would need to miss these during the final week of play season. Thank you for understanding).
