Cinderella final day

Cinderella -
August 12th, Saturday

WOW- first time actors, you did a great job- that was a lot of "firsts" yesterday and I think you will find it easier today.

Two reminders from the directors:
-Please remember NOT to put your back to the audience
- speak clearly and keep the dialogue going. If the audience doesn't hear you, they cannot follow the story.

Everyone did a much better job on expression last night I was very pleased. And notice how the audience laughed when you were getting into your character and being expressive. That is your goal for this next performance is to keep the audience
Engaged at all times.

We have a performance at 3:00
Call time is 2:00- an hour before to prepare and get dressed. If main characters (except mice) could be there at 1:30 I would like to help show them a couple things, and also try something different with the Mics because they don't fit their ears.

The tiny children do not need to be there until closer to 3 o'clock.

After the 3 o'clock show please STAY on the stage we are going to have a cast picture.

Again thank your parents, yesterday was a very difficult time that we have never experienced. Everyone pulled together and helped to get this show on. You and your children are Awesome. See you soon.

During the rehearsal and waiting time for the performance at 7:00, I would like the students to eat light snacks to prevent sleepiness. Grapes, crackers, cheese, carrots, or lunch like foods would be best for them and ONLY water.

Cinderella Cast:

Thursday, August 10, 2017

 

Rehearsal will entail live microphone usage, Completing costume fittings, Stage Blocking, and Choreography. This is a very large amount of work. I really need parents that can help students to stay busy and attentive to what we are teaching by providing them with something to do.

 

After students are picked up, be sure they are practicing lines, songs, and getting a good night’s sleep to prevent exhaustion and illness.

 

This is not easy to do and cannot be done without cooperation from everyone. It takes a team. If you are available, we will need help with certain things for the show. Katie Montgomery will have a sign up sheet for those things.

 

Costume responsibilities for each character as follows:

 

Ensemble (In front the whole time) : Black pants, black socks or shoes, hair anyway you would like, but neatly done, with light make-up for girls (mascara, black eyeliner, and clear lip gloss ONLY please)

 

Narrators & Town Criers: Black pants, black socks or shoes, hair anyway you would like, but neatly done, with light make-up for girls (mascara, black eyeliner, and clear lip gloss ONLY please)

 

Anastasia, Cinderella, Step Mother, Drizella: Need  white Tights and Black dress shoe ( make-up will be done there)

 

Grand Duke, Herald, King, Prince: Black Dress Pants (I have some if you need it) and black socks and dress shoes

 

Royal Court: White Tights and black dress shoes(girls) Black socks & dress shoes,hair anyway you would like, but neatly done, with light make-up for girls (mascara, black eyeliner, and clear lip gloss ONLY please)
