Attend one mandatory parent meeting. Two options: November 1 in the Dickinson library or November 3 in the Commons at 6:30pm. Theater requires that parents take on volunteer and chaperone responsibilities.
Auditions for our theater production will be held after school. All students who are registered for Theater will audition for assigned roles. Students should be prepared to read or recite a few lines of something (poem, story, monologue) and sing a song (any song, Happy Birthday is fine) at their audition.
Rehearsals begin November 28
Rehearsals begin November 28 and will be held MON, TUES, THURS, FRI, 3:50-5:45pm. Please note: There are NO WEDNESDAY rehearsals EXCEPT for the two weeks before the show. Please refer to the director's schedule which will be provided to all parents and cast members.
Students who show up on dates they are not called will be sent home. If your student must miss a rehearsal for sickness, vacation, or other reasons, please notify the producers as early as possible.
Please send a healthy snack with your student. When not actively rehearsing, students should engage in a quiet activity such as reading or doing their homework. Students should be picked up promptly at 5:45pm. Parents must come into the school to sign out their student upon pick up.
All parents are expected to help with the production. Our theater program cannot happen without the volunteers to assist with costumes, hair/makeup, props, set design, tickets, publicity, concessions, backstage and stage managers, and chaperoning rehearsals. Parent volunteering is mandatory for your child to participate in theater.
Each theater family must also chaperone at least 2-3 rehearsals. Theater is a PTSA-sponsored program. Therefore, all parent chaperones must be PTSA members and approved LWSD volunteers. (Click HERE to join PTSA and visit LWSD to complete your application to volunteer.)
