Show Info 2009
SHOW DETAILS
COSTUMES AND SHOES
All costumes should be named and on hangers.
Each child should have a box clearly labeled with their name on, for all their shoes and accessories.
Babies ballet (class one) can arrive in their costume, wearing their socks unless they have no ballet shoes in which case they will go onstage barefoot.
All other children should arrive in Laura Emily Uniform if they have it, if not smart please.
All cast need to bring their dance shoes with them - jazz shoes, trainers, ballet shoes and older girls, silver sandals. If your child does not have the correct foot wear, bare feet will be fine.
Girls, who will be wearing bras in the show, please ensure they are flesh coloured or plastic strapped ones. You can get these very cheaply in Primark.
Classes 9-10 years upward need to bring black leggings and Laura Emily T- Shirts (if you don’t have one a plain black T-shirt is o.k.)
At the end of the last performance I will collect all costumes any that are sent home with the children are for them to keep.
No jewellery to be worn, apart from small ear studs.
HAIR AND MAKE-UP
Children, except baby’s ballet class, will need some basic make up, so as not to look washed out on stage. A brown eye shadow, blusher, red lip-stick and mascara. Older girls can have eye liner and false eye lashes if they wish.
All cast members should come to the theatre with their hair and make up done, on the day of the show and the dress rehearsal. If you are not able to do this someone will be able to do it for them at the theatre. Please make sure your child has plain hair elastics in, with no other accessories. Any ribbon will be given out once at the theatre
Babies Ballet – Bunches.
6-8 years and 9-10 years class – Half tail.
11-12 years class – High pony tail.
Senior class 5 – Hair will be done for you on arrival.
WHERE TO GO AND WHEN
If you are not sure about how to get to the Seckford Theatre please ask Laura for a map. The post code is IP12 4JH. The Seckford Theatre is situated in the grounds of Woodbridge school. It is signposted off Burkitt Road. There is plenty of parking to the back of the theatre.
All cast members must be dropped and collected at the stage door this is found on the right hand side of the theatre. Please do not use the main entrance this is for the audience only. After the dress run and performances children need to be collected from the stage door. Their dresser or I will bring the children out one class at a time to insure everyone is collected.
NO PARENT WHO IS NOT A HELPER IS ALLOWED BACK STAGE AT ANY POINT, DUE TO LICENSING REGULATIONS. YOUR CO-OPERATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
TIMES
Friday 17th at Seckford Theatre Dress Rehearsal – Babies are not needed on this date. Helpers and their children to arrive at 5.15 pm. Everyone else to arrive at the stage door at 5.30 till 8.30pm. You will need to arrive with your hair styled as per show day, with makeup applied. Costume and shoes can all be left at the theatre over night.
Show day – All dressers and Chaperones with their child at 12.45 pm
All cast members 1pm prompt. Please do not arrive before this time.
DRESSERS AND CHAPERONES
Thank you very much for offering to help. You will all be given a name badge to wear on the day. Parents helping with the 6pm performance please will you come back stage as soon as you have finished watching the first show. You will also need to come to the stage door. Then all helpers from the 2pm perform will be able to leave. If it’s a nice day we can take the cast out in the grounds to eat their tea.
Once you are with your age group that you are dressing, I will tell you this on the day or dress run. Please insure that the children hair and make–up is neat and tidy. The children will be called when it is time to go on stage and you or one of the dressers/ chaperones will come with them to the side of the stage and wait in the wings while they perform then escort them back to the dressing room.
FOOD AND DRINK
Please insure your child brings a packed tea with them and plenty to drink, if the weather remains very hot, please avoid chocolate or anything that can melt. No fizzy drinks please.
Also all younger children are encouraged to bring something to do. Games, with their name on, but nothing of any great value. 6-8 years class all to bring a small cushion, pillow or blanket to sit on; as there will not be enough chairs in their room, and I find they usually like to sit under the tables on cushions, all good fun!
I hope this is all clear for everyone. Any problems please contact me.
Please also find attached next terms (September) dates and fees. If any one is not returning, please can you let me know. Don’t forget to order you’re DVDs and there is still time to book your tickets for the show
