We hope all cast and crew members had a restful and fun Spring Break! We are in the homestretch of our play season. With just a few weeks left we need to work hard to get our show "audience-ready"!
One important change from the rehearsal dates you were given at audition time. The dress rehearsal originally scheduled for Wednesday, April 27 has been moved to Tuesday, April 26th due to a scheduling conflict with the 4th grade play at Merriam Ave. We may still have rehearsal on Wednesday the 27th but it would be after school and not in the evening. We will keep you posted on this.
As we have mentioned to the cast before, Monday and Wednesday of each week are generally the 2 days each week that you can count on having rehearsal. There will additional rehearsals scheduled each week, but those two days are a sure thing since they are the two days we can work on music with Mrs. Hartzell. Those of you that have joined additional after school activities in the months since you committed to the play and are now trying to balance multiple practices, etc - please honor your commitment to our show by attending rehearsals on those days. We know that emergencies crop up, but if you are going to miss a rehearsal for any reason, you must contact one of the directors to let us know. Failure to show up without prior notice will result in an unexcused absence. After 3 unexcused absences your part will be given to another student. Everyone needs to work together to make the show a success and we need everyone present in order to get the most out of our rehearsals! Thank you!
Thank you so much to all the parents who have contacted us about volunteering in one capacity or another! We appreciate your help so much and will post details as they become available.
A few reminders:
Please remember that costumes should be brought to rehearsal to be labeled and stored by our costume group.
Orders for T-shirts are due this week. T-shirts are $15 and orders can be turned in to any one of the directors at rehearsal on Monday or Tuesday. Checks should be made payable to Halsted Middle School.
