1. ARRIVING AND DEPARTING:
Please arrive through the lobby and have your child sit in the first rows of the audience chamber until they are given further instructions. (For shows, actors should enter through the back stage door.)
I will do my best not to end late, but please be flexible if we need an extra 15 or so minutes. If we are still working when you arrive, please quietly wait in the lobby or back rows of the audience chamber until we are done. If you would like to talk with the other parents, please do so very quietly in the lobby or outside.
Sign out sheets will be in the lobby. Please be sure to sign out anyone you are driving home. (For shows, there will not be sign out sheets.)
2. FOOD AND DRINKS:
Food and drink are not allowed in the theater or backstage.
Please bring a water bottle and labeled bag dinner (or snack if they eat dinner before they come -- dinner before rehearsal on Tuesday would be VERY helpful!). There will be a designated area for food in the lobby. Dinners/snacks will only be accessible during designated food breaks.
Please do not send sodas or other high sugar drinks (it makes the rest of our rehearsal very crazy).
3. COSTUMES
SHOES WORN IN THE SHOW SHOULD BE WORN ALL WEEK.
Costumes will only be worn April 3rd and 4th with the following exceptions:
Ariel may practice quick changes if needed
Sea Chorus and Sea Creatures with bulky costume pieces may practice with them also (Clams, Starfish, etc...)
Please have your child arrive in their costume.
All costume accessories (crowns gloves, hats, etc...) and any other supplies should be brought to the theater in a small box or laundry basket to avoid accidentally damaging or dropping a piece.
All costume pieces should be labeled inside with the actor’s name.
Garment bags, laundry baskets, and boxes used for transporting costumes should also be labeled.
Costume boxes/baskets may be left in the dressing room with the exception of the weekdays between shows (April 8th-11th)
Actors should never eat in their costumes. Please send a change of clothes for their food break or a coverup of some sort (one of dad’s old button up shirts, etc...)
4. HAIR:
Costume sheets should list hair information. If you are missing this information, please let Michelle know.
Hair should be done before arriving at the theater unless you have made other arrangements with Michelle (unfortunately we don’t have enough dressing room and mirror space for 63 actors, and parents who aren’t fingerprinted can’t be with the actors).
Please use gel and/or hairspray to secure “wispies.”
Please send a hairbrush or comb in case touch ups are needed.
5. STAGE MAKE-UP GUIDELINES (YES, THIS APPLIES TO BOYS TOO!):
Please apply make-up at home unless you have made other arrangements with Michelle (unfortunately we don’t have enough dressing room and mirror space for 63 actors, and parents who aren’t fingerprinted can’t be with the actors).
For health reasons sharing of make-up is not permitted. Students need their own “make-up kit”! Inexpensive brands are just fine. Be sure to mark items with performer’s name and keep together in a box or bag that they bring to the theater for touch-ups.
1) Begin with a clean, dry face. Have make-up remover nearby, in case of mistakes.
2) Apply a base/foundation that matches performer’s skin color. Be sure to apply all the way up to the hairline and blend down the neck.
3) Apply a natural color blush from under the cheekbones, across the cheekbones, up toward the ear. Remember this is stage make-up that will be somewhat washed out under the bright theatrical lighting so apply extra.
4) Using earth tones, apply eye shadow darkest on the lid and fading as you blend up toward the eyebrow (PLEASE NO BLUES, GREENS, etc... unless specifically requested on your costume sheet--Mersisters, Princesses, Sea Creatures and Sea Chorus may use a color that coordinates with their costume as long as they do not play another part).
5) Apply black or brown eyeliner, (pencil and liquid are both fine.) Begin applying at the inside corner of eye for the top lid, and the center of the bottom lid. Do not bring out further than the length of your eyebrow. Color eyebrows a bit with a brown pencil as needed -- required if you are blonde!
Apply black or dark brown mascara to both the top and bottom lashes.
Blonde or light brown eyebrows should be filled in with a darker pencil.
8) Apply a natural color lipstick (unless specifically requested on your costume sheet).
9) Use a very light dusting of plain cornstarch based baby powder or loose non-talc cosmetic powder over the entire face to “hold” the make-up. Be sure the performer holds their breath before applying!
