DUE TO THE
EARLY SCHOOL CLOSURE
FRIDAY NIGHT’S PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY AT 7PM
THAT MEANS 2
PERFORMANCES ON SATURDAY
As anticipated, the weather has caused us to have to
postpone our performance this evening. Any cast member that is unable to
attend the Saturday night performance and did not already tell us, please call
Mrs. Penny at (973) 903-2930 right away so that we can figure out a plan to
cover your part.
TICKETS: Any tickets
sold for Friday evening will be honored for the same seats on Saturday night at
7pm. If friends or relatives bought
tickets for Friday and would rather attend the Saturday afternoon performance,
they can bring their tickets to the 2pm show (box office opens at 1:30) and
exchange them for an open seat at that performance instead, unless we happen to
sell out before they arrive.
Here is the procedure for Saturday: Students will arrive at the school on
Saturday morning for their hair and makeup at the times they were given earlier
this week on the Blog page. Following
the 2pm performance the cast will change out of their costumes temporarily and
cast and crew will have their Pizza Cast Party in the Cafeteria (no permission slip needed). At 5:30 the students will re-dress in
costume, have their hair and makeup touched up and prepare for the second show
at 7pm. The second performance should be done by 9pm.
***** PLEASE, do
not bring outside snack food to the cast party. A few students asked about bringing a sandwich
to have in place of pizza due to dietary restrictions. That is perfectly fine however we ask that
the students do not bring any other items like chips, etc. because these items
tend to get shared around at a party and for everyone’s safety we need to make
sure that everything is NUT FREE and nothing gets cross-contaminated by hands
moving in and out of chip bags. Rest
assured that there will be lots of snacks provided at the party, but everything
needed to be purchased in advance according to the school’s nut free
guidelines.
***** Hair and makeup volunteers – If you are available on
Saturday evening, we would be so grateful to have your assistance once again!!!!!!
**** Also, we are in need of parent volunteers to chaperone
the cast during the show Saturday night.
The cast members hang out in the library until they appear in their
scenes but need to be supervised. Any
help will be most appreciated!!!
*****Just a reminder that due to the parade in Newton on Saturday
it will be more difficult to get around town on Saturday morning. Also, the emergency vehicles that participate
in the parade historically set up on Halsted Street by the school so the road
may be blocked off at one end earlier in the day before the start of the parade
at 11:30. If you are coming to drop off
your student for hair and makeup and find the street closed off, please let any
town personnel know that you are scheduled to arrive at the school for a school
function.
THANK YOU
ALL IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!
We are
looking forward to 2 wonderful shows on Saturday!!

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.

Kayla: Black Socks

Bridget: Black shoes
Nate: Black socks
Cameron: Black Pants and socks

Natalie S: Black shoes and socks
Morgyn: Black socks
Sarah: Black socks

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.

Hair and Make-up Volunteer Information:
Below
are the days and times that the kids will be here to have Hair & Make-up
done.
Help
on any or all days (or even portions of days) is SOOOO very appreciated!
Wednesday
3/18 (Dress Rehearsal ) from 4:00 – 6:30
Thursday
3/19 from 4:00 – 6:30
Friday 3/20
from 4:00 – 6:30
Saturday
3/21 from 11:00 – 1:30
Hair
and Make-up are done in the second floor classrooms down the hall from the
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!

Rehearsals for the Week of February 15th
Last week's rehearsal schedule was short but productive! In addition, the geese and frogs have been working on their choreography and it is looking great! Unfortunately, there were several frogs missing from Friday's rehearsal, which prevented us from completing our choreography that night. We will be finalizing the choreography on Wednesday. If you missed Friday's rehearsal and do not show up for Wednesday's rehearsal (without letting us know that you have a conflict), we may have no choice but to remove you from the frog number. It isn't fair to the rest of the group to have their choreography changed over and over to accommodate students who don't bother to show up for rehearsal. We are just one month from our opening night and we need to buckle down and use our rehearsal time wisely. Thank you for understanding.
Also, remember to bring in your paperwork for Project Launch so that you can go to the Cafeteria for snack on the days that you have rehearsal directly after school. Boosters can also be turned in as you sell them.
Please see the list below for the day and time you are scheduled to work with Mrs. Marmara on your Biography Blurb for the program. Please meet with her in the Library at your scheduled time and bring what you have written for her to look at. You do not have to stay the whole time if you finish before 3:45! If you are unable to meet with her for some reason, please let her know.

Rehearsals for the Week of January 25th
First, some information that you all should be aware of:
Weather permitting, we have a busy rehearsal schedule in store this week! Just a reminder to be listening to the afternoon announcements to see if rehearsals are canceled after school any day due to inclement weather. Of course if school is closed or dismissed early any day due to weather, rehearsal for that day will be canceled.
REGARDING ATTENDANCE:
According to our attendance records there are several cast members who have already used 2 of their allotted unexcused absences. All of these cast members are froglets. Please remember that if you are unable to attend a rehearsal, you need to let one of the directors know or it will be considered unexcused. After your 3rd unexcused absence you will be removed from the cast. We hate to do that but it is necessary and was stated in your audition contract. Because we take absences very serious, you will want to make sure that you are signing in on the attendance sheet at each rehearsal or you will be counted as absent. Thank you!
REGARDING BASKETBALL:
If a 2:40 play rehearsal is scheduled for a day that you have a game, please try to attend rehearsal for as long as you can directly after school until it is time for you to leave, even if it is only 15 or 20 minutes - every bit helps. We will rearrange the order of the scenes we are rehearsing to do your scenes first before you have to go. Thank you!
