We have 6 rehearsals left! So it's crunch time! Just a reminder that all Speaking Roles, Storytellers, Dancers, Tumblers, Guards & Princes have rehearsal tomorrow. Everyone else has off. Then for the rest of the week there is no rehearsal due to Spring Break. Please, please, please be safe. Also please don't be sick next week, if you are thinking about getting sick, get sick this week so you don't miss any rehearsals next week, or you could just wait until the show gets over.
During the last full week of rehearsals the tickets will be sold. They will go on sale about 20 minutes prior to the end of rehearsal, so about 4:45ish. Tickets for each day will be sold. Tickets will be $4 each and will be sold by seat, and it is reserved seating. If your 3 year old wants to sit on your lap, that is totally cool with me. We will have you pay by seat not by person. Just a heads up the show last about an hour.
As a totally personal request from the director, when you buy tickets don't buy the best seats in the house twice, if you choose to come both nights. Sit in a different seat and let some one else sit there. I won't come down and be mad at you, just a personal request.
The best seats will go fast there is over 120 kids and so that means a lot of parents and grandparents coming.
The last week (April 7-11) also known as Miracle Week, is a very important week. Just to remind all the kids again here is a more up to date schedule.
Monday 7- Run Through 3:15-5:00
Come to the Drama room and get some snacks, warm-up and talk.
We will start the run through at 3:30, all students will be in the auditorium. There will be no talking.
We will run through the show from beginning to end, stopping to fix things as needed. As explained to the students at the last rehearsal, if they are talking during rehearsal they will be removed from the number. When the students are not on stage they may go out to the foyer or the drama room to practice, do homework or talk. We encourage all students to stay in the auditorium because this is one of the only days you get to see the parts of the show you are not in.
Tuesday 8- Dress Rehearsal 3:15-5:00
We will be doing the same thing as Monday except we will be starting at 3:45, because after the Snack attack all students will need to get in their costumes. Reminder all townspeople need sandals. All girls in group 2 need to also bring a white shirt and black pants and black shoes. This also is the day that those girls in group 2 ,who offered, to bring their stuffed animal. All boys townspeople need to bring a plain white T-shirt. All guards need to bring a plain red T-shirt. Other then those things we think we have all of you costumed.
Wednesday 9- Tech Rehearsal 3:15-5:00
Follow the same routine as the other two days and get ready for rehearsal. This time however all students when not on stage will be in their holding rooms. Which we will explain on Tuesday. This rehearsal and Thursday's rehearsal will be boring. There will be lots of standing around. We need to move lights so we can see all of you and moving the curtain and microphones so we can hear all you. We hopefully will get through the first half of the show, between Friend Like Me and Prince Ali. We are asking that all students stay the entire time because we don't know where we will end up.
Thursday 10- Tech Rehearsal 3:15-5:00
The same thing as Wednesday except for we will start where we ended at on Wednesday and go through the end.
Friday 11- Final Dress/Tech 3:15-5:45
We will start the show at 3:30, all students must be in costume warmed up by 3:30. There will be no snack attack this day because after we finish the run through we will be having a pizza party. After a 20 minute break we will run the show one more time. We will end around 5:45, but by the time everyone gets out of costume and cleaned up it will be closer to 6, but some will be ready to be picked up by 5:45.
Saturday 12- Opening 'Afternoon' call time 1:00, Show time 2:00
Students will show up and get ready and we will warm up and run a few numbers to get ready. Doors will open for seating at 1:30
Monday 14-School Show at 1-ish, released time from school around 11:45ish
We have not yet finalized the bell schedule, thus the reason for the ish. We will have all of ACYI come over to see their peers perform. We will fill the seats all the way to the back. It's the best show to perform for, coming from a former student at ACYI.
Tuesday 15- Closing Night Call time 6:00, Show time 7:00
Just like the other performance we will come early to warm up and have a great show. Doors will open at 6:30.
Wow, I didn't plan on this being a novel but there is a lot of information that I want everyone to get. If you have any questions let me know.

Rehearsals for the last three weeks
So we have gotten to the last 3 weeks.
On the parent permission slip, that you all signed and agreed to, it was stated that the rehearsals for the last 3 weeks would be mandatory for all cast members, now with that said, not all students will be at each rehearsal. Due to region drama competition we will not have rehearsal for anybody on Tuesday the 25th and Thursday the 27th. And due to spring break there will not be rehearsal April 1st-4th. I know that these kids are busy and there are vacations planned, but as was stated in the parent permission slip if a student is unexcused for any of the final rehearsals it may result in being dropped from a song or even the show. Please this show needs to be a priority for each kid. Please read carefully the following calendar to ensure there is no confusion or absence.
Miracle Week (the last week of rehearsals) we will be going until 5pm. The show itself is 1 hour so to get ready and then run it will take additional time. We will provide a snack before the start of each rehearsal that week.
Tickets will go on sale on April 7 30 minutes prior to end of rehearsal and continue through out the week. Tickets will be by seat. All tickets will be $4. There is no age limit for small children. We will sale tickets by seats, so if you have a 2 year old you can have them sit in your lap without paying for an additional seat.
The Speaking Roles, Storytellers, Dancers and Tumblers are to be at each of the remaining rehearsals.

A Whole lot of New Information
So this is not a big show, it's a HUGE show. There have been so many wonderful people to work with and I really could not do it without all of your help. Everyday I get many emails from you wonderful, wonderful parents, and as much as I would love to get to know each and everyone of you and talk with you. I just don't have the time. Please if you have a question, before emailing me read the parent permission slip and all other blog posts, because nearly every question that I have received can be answered by one of those. But for those questions that have not be answered, that is the reason to why I am blogging.
Thanks so much for all you do! The show could not be done without you. Last week I went to California and to continue research on a musical I am writing (that hopefully will be done for us to do at ACYI next year) and I met with a Professional Children's Theatre and when I mentioned that I cast 129 kids in my show they just looked at me and said I was crazy. And, I am. But it's worth it. So thank you for lending your children to the world of the theatre.
- Costumes-
- for the townspeople they do not need to make their costumes, unless we are unable to fit them with the costumes we already have. If that is the case we will give you fabric and a pattern.
- Sandals, every townsperson needs to have sandals, not flip-flops, they are noisy and harder to move in. Any sandal that is brown, grey or black is good.
- The girls townspeople in group 2 (not the storytellers, dancers and tumblers) need black flats, black pants and a plain white blouse or shirt.
- Dancers and Tumblers, as it was stated in the beginning you are responsible to make your own costume, we will be giving you fabric and a pattern to make pants, just the pants. There are some wonderful moms who are willing to make a few, because it is a really basic pattern. If you to would be willing that would be much appreciated.
- Storytellers, those of you who have your fabric if you could bring those to practice on Tuesday that would be great and we should be getting the new fabric this next week to give to you.
- The deadline for all costumes not otherwise noted will be March 28th.
- Rehearsal time extension
- Due to the enormity of the show and how quickly time passes we ask that it be okay that rehearsal extends to 4:30. This will require some minor adjustments on your part but its for your children. Think of the children.
- Parent Help
- In the coming week those of you who signed up to help with Ticket Sales, Advertisement and Supervising will be getting an email or phone call to coordinate such help.
- I currently forgetting the 4th point, but when I remember I will post it.
