NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR- March 2

Hey Y'all!

Here it is at last, opening weekend!! This week is, as Gandalf would say, "It's the deep breath before the plunge." Lots of big things happening. I'll most likely contact you several times throughout the couple weeks so please make sure you tune in to everything that's being sent. 

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS AS OF 3/2

•  

• SCHEDULE: 

  • The early checkout table is now gone! Per the contract, NO CAST/CREW MEMBER IS PERMITTED TO MISS ANY PORTION OF ANY REHEARSAL OR PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE END OF THE RUN. Don't even try it.

  • REHEARSAL ENDING TIMES: Remember the later end times. 

    • Monday and Tuesday: 2:45-7:00PM

    • Wednesday and Thursday: 2:45-8:00PM

  • THURSDAY NIGHT: The cast will be sent home with their makeup and base costume layer supplies. Starting Friday morning, they must arrive to each performance wearing their base layer and with their hair and makeup already applied.  

  • CALL TIMES:

    • Unless otherwise instructed, leads must always show up 90 minutes early with the rest of the cast arriving 60 minutes early.

    • FRIDAY 3/6: All cast must arrive at 8:00AM

    • SATURDAY 3/7: Leads by 11:00AM and Ensemble at 11:30AM. This is picture day-hence the earlier call time. Please be sure to feed your children before they arrive. 

• HYGIENE/FATIGUE:

  • Now comes the time when the cast members usually start to fall behind on their schoolwork. You as their parent/guardian MUST help them stay on top of their assignments. Please check in with them DAILY. If they say they're doing fine...they're not. Make sure they're consuming their vitamins and liquids and getting to bed at responsible hours. 

  • Since costumes have been handed out, it is crucial that all children keep themselves clean. Make sure they're showering daily and washing their hair frequently! If costumes are damaged due to your child's body odor, you will be responsible for replacing said items. If you do NOT have access to shower facilities or hygiene products, no shade no shame. Just please let us know ASAP and we'll provide them for you!

• CONCESSION ITEMS: Thank you to all who have already donated! Keep em coming because we could still use more!

  • Please check the concessions document attached to see what types of things are needed.

  • If you have any questions, contact Kimmie Utley at kimmieutley@gmail.com

  • NOTE: If this is something you can't afford, no stress!

• TICKETS: We already have a waiting list for almost every performance so please follow the recommendations below if you have extra tickets!

  • If you have extra tickets, you have a couple of options...

    • You can try to sell them yourself as Hillside cannot administer refunds for any reason. 

    • You can donate them back to the school and the Box Office Manager (Ms. Caldwell) will make sure they get in the hands of someone who will use them. 

    • If you were not able to get tickets for a specific performance (or any performance at all), contact Ms. Caldwell and she will put you on a waiting list and inform you of when tickets become available. 

    • Any other questions, contact Ms. Caldwell at carrie.caldwell@slcschools.org

• VOLUNTEER: Many of the pro-team members are asking for help now. Please sign up to help where/when you can!

COSTUMES HELP NEEDED!

Hi Parents!

Beginning the week of March 2 until the play ends on March 14, costumes will need quite a bit of help, and we have some spots left for volunteers!

The play rehearsals and performances are so fun to be part of, I hope you'll sign up for a time or two. It's helpful if you are able to attend at least one rehearsal before you come help with a performance. And if you’d like to come on a night that is already full, text me at (801) 870-3929 and I’ll add you to my list!

Thank you!
