Rehearsals this week

I went over the rehearsal schedule this week on Thursday. I need everyone on Monday and Thursday. On Tuesday I just need Cinderella, Stepmother, stepsisters, mice, narrators and the Fairy Godmother.

Everyone needs to practice, practice, practice those songs at home!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy shoe clarification!!!!!

OK, I thought all the boys were in knickers. Only the town criers and townsmen are in knickers and therefore need boots. My noble men (king, prince, grand duke, and herald) are in long pants and just need plain black shoes.

Any questions, please ask!!!

Praticing at home this week...

This week, we are focusing on Cinderella and the mice doing A Dream is a Wish, the reprise of A Dream, and the Work Song.


Everyone needs to practice their vocals on all the songs ALL THE TIME!! The show will be here before we know it! Make sure you are practice MOVING while singing!

SHOES!!!

BOYS:
The boys (except mice) will need to wear boots. They will be wearing knickers (they are so excited). They are going to be even more thrilled when they hear they are going to be girl boots. They need black boots that go nearly to the knee. I found some online at Walmart and Payless. They need to be somewhat simple if you are a town crier or townsman and maybe with a little gold or silver buckle if you are a nobleman. Here are links to the boots I found.

GIRLS:
The girls (except mice) need to get black Mary Janes or flats. I know you can get them several places, so I am not posting pics or links. They should be simple and comfortable.

Any questions, please ask!!!

Week 2 update

Last week's rehearsals went very well! The kids did a great job and I think we are off to a great start. Tomorrow I will be sending home an updated rehearsal schedule. I have broken down the rehearsal days by pages. This week we will rehearse the same days and times as last week, Mon., Tues., and Thurs. until 5:00. Next week we will extend rehearsals until 5:30. Rehearsals will run until 5:30 until the show.

Many have asked if you will be able to buy your child's costume after the show. I will send home order forms for the costumes with the rehearsal schedules tomorrow. All costumes will be available for $25 each. Any costume not sold will be sold to a theater company. I know many kids have not seen their costumes yet, but I know they will be awesome!! If you have any questions about this, please let me know.

Soon I will be posting of pictures of footwear that you will need to find for your actor. Boys are going to need boots. Girls will most likely be in plain, black Mary Janes or flats.

We are starting to plan the props and sets. We are going to have a kitchen, town square, and the palace. Right now, we need an old fashion looking kitchen table (small), and other furniture to put in our small kitchen. We need an old fashion looking broom and old fashion, steel bucket. If you have anything you think we can use, please let me know!

Thanks!!
