Here we are... finally made it to production week! In honor of promoting the show and getting pumped up for opening night, the cast and crew are invited to participate in SPIRIT WEEK! Each day will have a dress-up theme for us to participate in during school, if you wish:
MONDAY - NINJA DAY (Wear black in honor of our crew... the ninjas of the stage!)
TUESDAY - FAVORITE CHARACTER DAY (Dress up as your favorite character from the show)
WEDNESDAY - MAGIC SPELL DAY (Wear one or more of these colors: RED, WHITE, YELLOW or GOLD for the 4 ingredients of the spell)
THURSDAY - CAST T-SHIRT DAY (Wear your Into the Woods T-shirt or sweatshirt and invite everybody you see to our show!)
FRIDAY - SUIT UP/DRESS UP (Dress up in nice clothes to celebrate Opening Night!)
DRESS REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:
Please take the time to read this schedule carefully to know when you are called to be there. I may not have time to be answering phone calls and emails this week. The schedule is clearly labeled:

IMPORTANT REMINDER TO ALL CAST CREW: END TIMES ARE NOT KNOWN FOR DRESS REHEARSALS. We all stay until we are done. As stated in the contracts that were signed at the beginning of play season, and as announced clearly at the parent meeting, there is no determined end time at dress rehearsals. Curtain times are listed. This is when we start the show each night, and run through it just like a regular performance. When we get to the end of the show (whatever time that is), all students may call home to tell their parents they can be picked up in about an hour from that time. During that hour, every student in the cast and crew is responsible for cleaning everything up & putting it away so it looks like a school again for the next morning. Then, every cast & crew member stays seated in the auditorium for notes from the directors. NO ONE IS EXCUSED EARLY. ANY STUDENT WHO SKIPS ANY PART OF DRESS REHEARSAL OR LEAVES EARLY WITHOUT PERMISSION WILL BE DISMISSED FROM THE SHOW.
The more cooperation we get from everyone in cleaning, and the quieter they are during notes, the faster we get out on dress rehearsal nights. This is part of the team building that happens to run a successful show. Thank you, as ever, for your support.
