Big Ol Costumes Post

Hello Actors and Directors!

I have a BIG OL list of what I need from you in regards to costumes so please check the whole list for your name! 

If you have an item with a “~~~” next to it it means I need YOU to procure the item at your own expense by 6:00pm Friday at your own expense.  Please bring them to me and be prepared to leave them in the costume room for the duration of the run of the production.

If you have an item with a “***” next to it it means I need you to see me by Friday at 2:00pm to get measured for adjustments.  A seamstress is coming in 2:00pm-6:00pm Friday to work on your pieces.  Failure to see me by Friday at 2:00pm means you may have to take care of adjustments at your own expense. 

If you have an item with a “+++” next to it it means I need you to see me/the costume team before 6:00pm Friday to try on shoes for your costume.

If your name is not on here it means your costume is finalized and I have all the pieces OR I’m still looking for pieces and don’t need you to do anything at this time.

NOTE: I will be here Wednesday until 5:30, Thursday until 3:30 and Friday until 6:00pm.  Make time!

Thank you for your continued cooperation!

Best,

Ms. Britte

Dress Parade Today!

Actors and Directors and Costume Tech!

Don't forget, the Dress Parade is today starting at 3:30pm!  It lasts for 30 mins.  Come see me in the costume room to try on your costume and stay near the auditorium so we can get through the process in a timely fashion (thus not eating into your rehearsal time.)  I have about 75-80% of costumes ready, some of you may be asked to procure pieces from your own closet so be sure to check in with me this afternoon!

Best,
Ms. Britte

Parents' Meeting Wednesday!

From Kathy W:
----
Hi Parents of the Cast and Crew of Durang/Durang!

We'll have a parent meeting for all of you to get "in the know of the show"......

Wednesday, April 12

7:00 PM in the Auditorium

Jim Peerenboom (our producer and drama teacher) and Chris Rentzel (our guest supervising director and long-time Lincoln Drama volunteer) will run the meeting.  I expect the student directors will be there too so you can hear their take on the show.

You'll find out the deets of this particular show ..... and understand A LOT better what your student is doing after school every day for the next several weeks....and how you can help out.

Lincoln's theater program is outstanding.  We reach that "outstanding" level because of the many many many parents who help us this program be a success.  The kids' experiences would not be so awesome if it wasn't for our PARENTS!!!  Yes, YOU are IMPORTANT!!!!

We advise that parent meetings are a mandatory thing for at least one parent to attend.    Even if your a veteran drama parent, there's always something that you learn from each show's parent meeting.  Please attend this meeting to find out how you can help this student-directed show to be the BEST for everyone -- including our future audiences.

FYI, the show opens May 4. 

The blog address to check on what's going on is http://lhsdurangdurang.blogspot.com/

Please write me if you have any questions. 

Thanks.  See you Wednesday.
