Final Week Rehearsal Schedule



The students have been working incredibly hard on the show and we are excited for opening night this week!  Thank you parents and families for your support of the show this season – we could not have done it without you!
Just a few notes:
Ticket Sales:
Advance Tickets Sales will take place outside the auditorium on Tuesday and Wednesday from 3-4pm.  Tickets can also be purchased at the door before each show.  Ticket Price is $5 per person.
Snacks:
The students will begin arriving for Hair and Makeup between 4pm and 5pm on Wed, Thurs and Fri. so it is really imperative that they have something substantial to eat before they come to the school, however we will have snacks available for them to keep them fueled up before the show.  Please note that we have several students with life threatening food allergies, so students may not bring outside food to eat in the dressing rooms.  Also, the kids change into their costumes before heading into hair and makeup and cannot have anything messy to eat in their costumes.  Thank you so much for understanding!
On that note: Thank you to everyone who volunteered to send in snacks for the students for this week!  If you have not already sent them in, items can be sent in with your student to rehearsal Monday or Tuesday or can be brought to the main office during the school day.  If you would still like to donate, please see the Sign Up Genius Link for approved foods and  details: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0844a9af29abfb6-peter
DVDs:
Our show is being professionally recorded and DVDs can be ordered for $15 each.  Payment can be made by cash or check.  Checks should be made payable directly to the videographer, “Brendan Scullin”. Order forms will come home this week.
Cast Party:
The students will have a cast Pizza Party following the last performance on Saturday.  The party will run from 5pm to 6:30. Permission slips will come home this week.

Rehearsal Schedule for the Week of April 15th

Thank you cast and crew for a great week of rehearsals!  We are on target to have everything ready for our opening night in just a week and a half --- keep up the good work!

Cast members remember that each student (female and male) needs to have a black eyeliner and mascara to be used for their stage makeup.  They should be brought in no later than Saturday the 21st and given to the costume crew to put in a ziploc and label with your name.

Pirates need black "boys" slip on or lace up shoes for their costumes (no sneakers or girls shoes).  We have some shoes in our costume collection; if you are not able to find a pair we may have a pair that fits and you are welcome to borrow them. See the costume crew and they can assist you.

Lost Boys should have either black or brown "boys" slip on or lace up shoes (no sneakers or girls shoes).  Again, we have some shoes in our costume collection; if you are not able to find a pair we may have a pair that fits and you are welcome to borrow them. See the costume crew and they can assist you.

Parent help needed: 
We are still looking for Parent volunteers to help with hair and makeup on Wednesday, April 25th, Thursday, April 26th and Friday, April 27th from 4-7.

We are also looking for parents to help with advance ticket sales on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (April 23, 24 and 25) from 2:40 until 3:45 and ticket sales on the days of the play:
Thurs 4/26 from 6-7, Friday 4/27 from 6-7 and Saturday 4/28 from 1-2.

Finally, we are looking for parents to send in snacks for the kids for the dress rehearsals and performances as well as a parent to coordinate snacks for the cast party.

If you are able to help in any way please send an email to Mrs. Penny at mpenny@newtonnj.org
Thank you!!

Boosters can still be purchased for the program.  They are $1 each and are due on Saturday, April 21st. The order form is located on this page below the rehearsal schedule.

Advanced Ticket Sales (provided we have volunteers to assist us with them) will take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (April 23, 24 and 25) from 2:40 until 3:45.  Tickets will also be sold from 1 hour before each show.
