Dress Rehearsal
Dress rehearsal will be Friday May 15th at the Paramount.
We will have a CLOSED rehearsal for students and staff only per requirements of the Paramount.
ALL dancers will need to arrive by 4:00 PM with hair and make up done.
We ask that all students have (1) parent or guardian with them in the dressing room during dress rehearsal to help with costumes, hair, and make up. This will ensure organization and preparation for show day. On Show day we will have extra staff in dressing rooms, so you can enjoy the show!
Arrival
All dancers will need to arrive to the Paramount by 12:30 with hair and make-up done. (See below for requirements)
Costumes are not to be worn outside of the theatre, so please do not send dancers to the show in their costumes.
Please check in at the main lobby upon arrival
We will require a guardian for each dancer to sign their dancer in upon arrival and leave a name and cell number before exiting the dressing room.
We ask that same guardian reports to the same dressing room promptly at the end of the show to sign their dancer back out.
We will have staff in each dressing room to help with costume changes and childcare so you can enjoy the show!
