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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. I currently forgetting the 4th point, but when I remember I will post it.

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.
