Friday through Monday

Please get a laundry basket to contain all your personal items at Berry Center.

Food and drinks are not permitted backstage, in dressing rooms, or in the audience seating, or in the loading dock area. Food and drinks are only permissible in the conference room/Oompa Loompa room.

We need parents to volunteer to bring healthy snacks for tech week.

We need kids to bring a quiet non-messy activity to do during rehearsals and shows. Coloring books and gameboys work fine. Board games with lots of little pieces tend to get scattered. Cards are OK if they're kept together in one place. Please be careful about expensive electronic toys...

SCHEDULE:

Friday: Set building & painting - If you're available, we could use you! If you'd like, stop in and see the brief, free, Veggie Tales performance at 5:00 pm.

Saturday: 9am – 1pm: Run entire show. Rehearsal could run over slightly, but based on Thursday’s rehearsal, we do not anticipate any significant lengthening of rehearsal on Saturday.

Saturday Evening: You have several cast members performing in Hairspray at Berry Center Saturday evening. It would be nice to go see their show.

Sunday 2pm - 5pm: We need all cast members 16 and over, and some parents who can, to load props, sets, and costumes from 2 to 5 PM at HFAC. We will order pizza for dinner and then head over to the Berry Center. We will get to the Berry Center about 6:30 PM and stage everything to move in at 7 PM or earlier if CAPA's Hairspray has completed their strike.

At 7 PM on Sunday, ALL PRINCIPAL DANCERS will meet to rehearse at the Berry Center and will not participate in load in. Instead of helping with load-in, we need all principal dancers (including those in Hairspray cast) to work on dances. We have a conference room we can practice in so that you’re not disturbed by the load-in going on during that time. We will provide pizza for principle dancers who are in Hairspray so they don't have to leave the Berry Center to have dinner prior to rehearsal. Since so many principle dancers had to miss rehearsals this week, this Sunday rehearsal is mandatory. We'll have ice cream at the end of rehearsal and load-in on Sunday evening.

Monday:
Call at 5:30 for Wonka, Ticket winners, and speaking parents.
Call is 6:00 for others wearing mics.
Call is 6:30 for everyone else (that means INSIDE, not pulling into the parking lot). We will RUN the show beginning at 7:00 pm, running act II first, and then act I. The goal is to have young kiddos out by 8:30 because of TAKS testing. ALL CAST is expected to be at Monday’s rehearsal. Students in the Glee class will have their tuition refunded. It was originally thought that we would not need everyone on Monday, but we will be able to have most of the lights set during the day on Monday, and we have a conference room that we can use as a practice room if things on stage aren’t starting right on time. With the extra room, we won’t have dancers standing around waiting on tech and we can make efficient use of time.

Please plan on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday rehearsals 5:30 - 10:30. We actually plan to be finished with rehearsal no later than 10:00 pm each night.
