Parent volunteers are so important to the success of our show. Please check the Parent Volunteers tab and send me an email if you can help in some way. Thanks! Most of the costumes are pretty simple. I will explain costumes to the students at rehearsals this week. They can bring in costume pieces any day this week or next, and we will store them at school. The costume list can be found here. Rehearsals end at 4:30 this week.
It is time to start gathering props and set pieces. If you have any of the following, and we could borrow or use them, please send them to school with your child. Please label all items that need to be returned to you!
Looking ahead: On Friday, Feb. 17, from 3:00-6:00 pm, we will be setting up the staging in the gym. Let me know if you are interested in helping. Starting this week, rehearsals end at 4:30. Next week: Costume list Parent volunteer opportunities Rehearsals have begun! During Monday rehearsals, 68 students will be preparing for the evening performance on Friday, February 24. The Thursday group of 58 students will share their show during the evening performance on Saturday, February 25.

~Sra. Wieber Congratulations to this season's cast!
On Monday and Tuesday (Dec 6 & 7), we will read through each play. On December 13 & 14, students will receive their scripts. I'm excited to finally start the 2021-2022 season! This is where I will post regular updates for this year's production. In addition to information about rehearsals, I will also post information about costumes, props needs, set design projects, and parent volunteer opportunities in January and February.
Classroom teachers and Kids Place staff have been given the Drama Club lists.
Please pick up your child promptly at 4:00 at the Kiss & Ride doors. Kids Place students will be dismissed to Kids Place after rehearsal. Thank you!
