DRESS REHEARSAL and SHOW reminders

Dress Rehearsals are the day of the concert, Saturday, May 17th at Scottsdale Center for the Arts and they are MANDATORY!!! For rehearsal and the show, performers will enter the auditorium through the side door. As you face the main entrance to the auditorium walk to your right and enter where the sign is posted.Please check the schedule for your child's rehearsal time and show call time. We are on a  are very tight schedule so please be prompt! For the Dress Rehearsals  Please come in full costume and make up. Parents will not be allowed in the house during rehearsal...they can wait in the lobby! Kids stay only during their rehearsal time.  Please do not leave them all day. Our insurance will not cover them and the Civic Center does not want unescorted kids in the facility. 

For their show the kids must be at the theatre in full costume and make up at their call time listed on the schedule. Deliver the performers as instructed above. Remember, performers ONLY  will enter the theatre. NO PARENTS will be allowed back stage at all or in the theatre before the house opens approximately one half hour before show time!  Every seat in the house is an excellent seat...that's why we rent this facility!
Please be patient and courteous while waiting to be seated.
We ask that you do not save seats after 15 minutes before curtain!

We DO require a ticket for babies and toddlers because, frankly, we discourage their attendance! Your kids work so very hard to get ready for this performance it would be a shame to have their "moment" ruined by a fussy baby or a rowdy toddler. What you may think  is "talking" or "singing along" is disturbing to all those around  you and to the performers. Please be considerate to our young performers and get a baby-sitter for just this one event!

NO performers will be released until the entire concert is over!

NO PARENTS WILL BE ALLOWED BACKSTAGE OR IN THE DRESSING ROOMS! 

MAKE UP
All the girls need base or pancake make-up, lots of rouge and RED lipstick A bit of eye make up is a good idea.  Boys should use cheek and lip color. Please keep hair off the face!!  Any hats need to securely fastened on with bobby pins!
