Showtime

​

 SHOW INFORMATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

 

 

When you arrive at the school please sign your child in and then they will go to their allocated changing area . Only helping mums will be allowed beyond the sign in area .

The children will stay there until the end of the show . All children should stay for the finale.  ( only in special circumstances should your child be taken away at the interval ) 

The running time for the show , including a 20 mins interval, is 2hrs .

 

FOOD AND DRINK will not be permitted in the changing rooms , only water .

 

 

All PERFORMERS WILL NEED :

 

A dressing gown  or front fastening top . Why ?? Because your child will have hair and make up done first and then wait until half an hour before going on stage to put on their costume this avoids smudging and spoiling .

 

Hair equipment: 

Hairbrush, plain ponytail bands , grips and pins . Hairspray.

 

 The following Ballet children only , will need a hairnet for buns to match the colour of their hair :

Bunnies, cats, fairies, flowers, cards , flamingos, , white roses, fans, red roses.

 

Please undo the packaging before coming to the theatre as it is frustrating if each child has to unwrap pins etc and it wastes time. ( over 180 children ) 

 

Their own foundation, we suggest a shade darker than their own skin tone . 

 

 

UNIFORM:

 

ALL BALLET children will need clean white ballet tights and class shoes EXCEPT cats and fish who only need shoes .

 

All TAP children will need black ankle socks 

 

All MODERN Children will need Jazz shoes and black ankle socks  EXCEPT cakes who will only need ballet shoes .
