Important White Christmas Info - PLS READ!!!

 Hello, folks! 

Here are some important announcements regarding White Christmas:

  1. Everyone will need to have a base/under layer to wear underneath their costumes for this show! This is so everyone feels safe and comfortable backstage, and just in case you need to quick change backstage you can easily do so without feeling uncomfortable. Some links are listed below :)

Modesty Layers:

Bodysuit

 Tights

Tank Top

Undershorts

Masc Undershorts    

  1. Everyone please have and bring black or tan character shoes by 10/30!

  2. We will also have basic stage makeup for this show! EVERYONE will be wearing a base layer of makeup - it helps your facial expressions show up under the stage lighting and helps the show feel put together! I will add a link to a tutorial for basic stage makeup, and the lady in the video lists everything you need! I will also add inspo photos of 50s makeup and hair that you can practice with. 

Stage Makeup Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_65m2ridDac 

  1. Ensemble folks will need to bring black pants, and all of our masculine folks that are ensemble, featured singers, featured dancers, leads/understudies/featured will need to bring black pants as well. Again, please bring these by 10/30!

  2. Once more, HERE is the link to the Google Drive for all the dances - PLEASE practice! And HERE is the link to the calendar, please know where you are needed and when. Hard memorization is 10/27, and our dance finalization day (D-Day) is 10/30!

  3. If you need help or have questions with any of these things please message Emiline either through the Remind (also, please join the Remind if you have not already!! Lots of important information will go out on there!) or email her at ejoh7573@csddocs.org 

This is going to be an amazing show, and I can’t wait to see it all put together! You’re all killing it!

All the appropriate love,

Cline and Emiline

Night of Shakespeare - Wednesday at 6pm! (Also, rooming list, competitor #s, itinerary, and times to remember!)

Hey all!

This Wednesday at 6pm in the PAC, for only $5 a person, you can come celebrate our incredible Shakespeare Team and send them off with the most love and support out there.  We will be performing all du0/trio scenes, monologues, and our 10-minutes Ensemble Piece from Macbeth! This is going to be a night you don't want to miss, so come cheer on these amazing students!

To the team here are some timeline reminders:

 - We have Final Dress Rehearsal with Tech tomorrow (Tuesday) from 2:30-7pm.  Yep, that's right - only till 7pm.  Please bring a water bottle, snacks, ALL costume necessities, and all things to do hair and makeup.  You have until 3:15pm to get in full costume and makeup before pictures and runs of the show. TECH - please come meet me on Stage left at 2:30pm for a run down of how things will go.

 - Night of Shakespeare the cast is called at 4:30pm SHARP - be there and you will have until 5:10pm to get in full costume, hair, and makeup.  The show starts promptly at 6pm and should conclude around 7pm. 

 - For Competition, we will meet at the school on Thursday morning in the PAC Green Room at 7:45am.  I will take role AT that time, you will grab your costume and set needs, and we will load the bus to leave at 8:00am SHARP - be on time, to avoid getting left behind. See the packing list on the earlier post (four back) and make sure you have all the things you need for competition down in Cedar.  A reminder, you will get $90 in food money back on the bus.  It WILL be in cash and if you lose it, we will not have more to give. Thus, bring a secure wallet or carrier to put your cash in for safe keeping. 

 - Below are Competitor Numbers to start using, a link to the Itinerary and Rooming Assignments.  IF you wish to switch with anyone rooming-wise this must be done on agreement for both individuals and told to me before you leave Night of Shakespeare on Wednesday night.  Otherwise, rooms have to stand as are on the list.  

 - Last, I am SO excited to share our show with the community and at competition - y'all are READY!  We have worked so hard and I am beyond proud of you.  I will have some goodies for you on the bus for each hotel room, so know you don't have to go toto crazy with hotel snacks. :) Let's have a blast and kill it at Shakespeare!!! #whatyouegg

Shakespeare Reminders - Costume, Hair, Makeup, Schedule!

Hey Shakes Team!

A few reminders for Monday's rehearsal:

1) You need to bring full blacks and all costume pieces that will be left at the school beginning Monday (9/21). We will be starting at 2:45pm on stage in a circle, SO please change into blacks by this time.  This means, the PAC will be open right after school and you have a full twenty minutes to change into blacks and then meet on stage - please be on time. 

2) Please bring some things to do your hair - we will have a few minutes for this if needed, but if you CAN get it done ahead, that would be ideal. Here are some reference pictures of what I would like. 

Ensemble, Child Mcduff, Murderers, Banquo, Fleance: Please pull your hair back in a NEAT bun or braids. Male short hair, I have to be able to see your eyes, so it can be as is if so or needs to be slicked pinned if not.  Most I think are fine.





Witches: I love this vibe!  Again - has to be at least half up and BIG - can be teased, add some dark or black fake hair (if wanted), fake twigs.... MESSY.  We will add the green crystal pieces in on Monday after you show me what you came up with!

3) Makeup wise we will be experimenting with what we want on Monday.  What would be helpful is to have a basic powder for your face - like a pressed cover powder.  Please go to a store and pick up one that matches YOUR skin-tone OR is slightly lighter - not darker. We have a few here at Alta you can share, but mostly light to beige colors. We will provide all of the color and cool things to try on your faces. :) 

4) Bring snacks and water bottles!  We will offer breaks, but you're here longer times this coming week. On MONDAY we will make one change - everyone is called till 5:30pm and then Competing IEs are called 5:30-6:30pm. Competing IE People - make sure on Monday you are 100% solid to show your piece newly cleaned and blocked and READY TO GO!  We will only have three more times together to really work on things and I want you to feel confident. 

The rest of the week is listed below:

Tuesday - 2:30-6:30pm FULL CAST

Wednesday - 2:30-5:30pm FULL CAST and then ALL IEs 5:30-6:30pm (with full costume, props and set - please bring this over to the PAC BEFORE Wednesday's rehearsal. 

Thursday - NO Shakes

Friday - 8am-2pm is scheduled; I MIGHT shorten this, but for now plan on the full time and to bring lunch.  You will know by Wednesday if we are shortening.... so avoid asking before then cause I'll say I don't know yet. :) 

Saturday/Sunday - NO Shakes 

And then it's a day rehearsal on Monday the 28th, a LONG evening rehearsal on Tuesday the 29th, and Night of Shakespeare on the 30th at 6pm (call time 4:30pm).  Please start spreading the word on this - also, PLEASE ask parents if anyone wants to see it for free and can take tickets.  I would love to have that figured out by Tuesday and I'll guarantee your scene isn't going first! :)

White Christmas Updates and Reminders

 Hello all,

Firstly - thank you for all the work you've started putting into White Christmas music rehearsals!  Please read through this blog post carefully for some reminders and answers to some great questions that I've gotten from a couple folks.

1. Please look at the calendar carefully and MAKE SURE you're at rehearsal if you didn't submit an excused absence.  Unexcused absences can result in being cut from the number or cut from the show if you have more than one. 

2. If you miss a rehearsal because of an excused absence, YOU are still responsible for learning the material taught.  It will NOT be re-taught.  If you don't know the material you missed by the time that scene, song, or dance is reviewed, it is very likely that you will be removed from that number.  Make sure you have contact info for folks in your group/vocal part.  There will be a Google Drive set up at the end of the week where videos of blocking and choreo will be uploaded for review.

3. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE REMIND!!!  If you are not, please find Emiline and get her help by Friday at the latest.  You will owe me burpees or a detailed, obnoxious apology picture if you or your parent/guardian isn't on the Remind by Friday.

4. Receipts and character work are due today - what I've already received has been great and so fun to read through!  Again, burpees or dramatic apology picture if late.  If more than a couple days late, you may be kept out of rehearsals until turned in.

5. Linking the calendar again HERE.  There are a handful of dates that are shaded in pink that I'll have detailed out by the end of the day.  Thank you so much for being flexible and patient while I've gotten our rehearsal calendar squared away.  I appreciate you!

6. Featured dancers, Phils, Judys, Bobs need tap shoes!  Suzys, Bettys, and Bobs I'd love to chat with y'all about potentially tapping in I Love A Piano-can you find me during Advisory or rehearsal this week and let me brainstorm this with you pls :).  (Bobs you'll be tapping in Happy Holidays/Let Yourself Go for sure.)  HERE is an option for a flat, or oxford style tap shoe.  And HERE is an option for a heeled tap.  My color preference is black for a flat tap and tan for a heeled tap BUT if you already have tan flat tap shoes or a heeled black tap shoe that is totally fine!  If you don't have your taps by this Friday, that is a-ok, but please do your best to have them by 9/25.  If you are a character who taps but you don't have your shoes this Friday, you will be fine to learn choreo in a character shoe or a hard soled shoe- try to bring something other than a sneaker or shoe with a rubber sole if possible.

Ok - I'm sure that I'll have more to update and share soon but that's it for now.  Again, PLEASE make sure you're on the Remind and checking that daily.

Thank you lots!

Shakespeare and Musical Reminder- payments and forms!

 Hey all! 

A reminder that payments for the Shakespeare trip and Musical fees are due on September 14th by 2:45pm. If you have fundraiser cards and money to turn in, do so before that time and bring the sales card and receipt to Miss Struiksma in the Little Theatre. She will go over adding the money to your account and letting you know if you still owe anything.

Another reminder if you are going on the Shakespeare trip ALL paperwork (notarized medical form AND a copy of your insurance card) are due to Struiks that same day. There is a link to the medical form below that you can print if needed. You have a week, but we would love to see things come in earlier throughout this week. Thank you!!!

White Christmas Rehearsal Calendar and info!

 Hi all,

HERE is a link to the White Christmas rehearsal calendar.  You'll see a full outline of rehearsal days and times as well as specific rehearsal details for this week and next.  I'll get all the rest of the details in this calendar by the beginning of next week :)

A couple other reminders/general notes:

Music rehearsals are in Miss G's room (the choir room) unless otherwise specified on the calendar

Blocking and Dance rehearsals are in the PAC unless otherwise specified on the calendar

Please pay close attention to start and ending times - they shift sometimes

$60 fee must be paid in the office by Sept. 14th.  After you pay in the office, pls have them print you a receipt and turn that in on the callboard in the Little Theatre.  If you have questions or concerns about this, please feel free to chat with me before school any day between now and Sept. 12th.

Make sure you are checking the remind every day and the blog and instagram every couple days so you don't miss any important info.

If you are sick and going to miss rehearsal unexpectedly, a parent/guardian must email me by NOON at the latest for your absence to be considered "excused."  Unexcused absences may result in being dropped from scenes/numbers or even the show.

If you had an excused absence for our first meeting - make sure you fill out your information in the Google Sheet linked HERE.

As we talked about in our first meeting, your character work is also due by Sept.14 with responses to the questions emailed to me (lindsey.cline@csddocs.org) and collages turned in physically.

Questions:

What is your character's full name?

How old are they?

Tell me about their family - who are immediate family? Are they close? Do they live near each other?

Who is their best friend? Describe them.

Are they involved romantically with anyone?  If so, describe them.

What is their favorite food and movie? (Keep in mind that the majority of the show takes place in 1954 - do some detective work!!)
