When Do I Have to Come to Rehearsal?

Hello all-
Now that we are beginning blocking, all APHS students cast in any role, from principal to extra, need to attend rehearsals.   Check your scripts and compare them to the production schedule.   Algonquin actors with a specific stage part will begin joining us next week, on Wednesday 11/9.  You can take the transfer bus that leaves Algonquin immediately following the regular busses and come right to the HS auditiorium.  You will get your scripts that day. Algonquin extras along with the Algonquin/HS carollers will join us immediately following Thanksgiving break.  Finally, elemntary students will join us on the dates listed in the elementary music blog entry below.

Show musicians should see me asap so we can firm up your schedule!

Please e-mail or see Mr. McKeeby if that's unclear in any way at all!

Production schedule!

Hello all-
Please find the first draft of the production schedule below.  This is the tightest schedule we have ever had for a show this size.  To make it work we will need everyone's highest degree of dedication, cooperation, and punctuality!

The schedule is subject to change, so stay in touch with what's happening here on the blog and in person at APHS.

Costume Info for Algonquin and Elementary Schools

Ms. Lossi and Aileen O'Brien send the following message to everyone regarding costumes:

Hello, everyone!
We want to send costume information to you, so that you can share it with students.  This will also be on the blog, but with such a short time to pull this show together, we thought we should send this out now.  Please let me know if you have questions.
Costumes
For elementary and middle school girls:
ankle-length black (or brown, grey, dark green, dark red) skirt
black tights
black flats or Victorian-looking ankle boots
white or neutral-colored blouse
shawl or scarf
If you happen to have a Victorian bonnet -- great! 
fingerless gloves
For elementary and middle school boys:
black sweat pants with elastic bottoms (they will be knickers -- rolled up to below the knee)
a collarless white shirt with a vest would be great; if not, a plaid shirt (preferably darker--black, brown, grey, dark green)
A bulky sweater (neutral or dark color) will work instead of a shirt
scarf
fingerless gloves
A few boys will wear ear muffs--if you have them please bring them (traditional only -- not sports type)
black leather or cloth shoes
You might want to check out some of the following websites for ideas.  We're not asking you to buy anything  from them (if they have things for sale), just thinking that they might give you some ideas.
