This year the Spotlight will have three different shows on Friday and Saturday, May 23 and 24. Each class and soloist will perform only once. Show times and rehearsal times have been marked in the costume books and notes will be sent home with costumes. You can check the costume book at the front desk to confirm your rehearsal time. Dress rehearsal at the Memorial Theater (112 E. High St., Mt. Vernon) is MANDATORY!

2014 Spotlight Costume Update

Costume balances must be paid in order for your child to take their costume home. If you are unsure of your balance please check at the front desk, notes were sent home in March. Please, please, please take very good care of your costume when you take it home. We cannot replace them at this point. The kids will be tempted to play in them, but please only let them try it on to show other relatives and then hang it back up right away. You will receive a costume care page with your costume, please hang your costume up and make sure all of the pieces are together. We want all the kids to look wonderful on stage and if you don’t care for your costume at home it will show on stage.

Recital Tights Must Be Purchased From The Spotlight

It is important that all tights be purchased through the Spotlight so that they all match on stage. They are very reasonably priced for this purpose. You can check the costume book at the front desk to see what color tights your child will need.

Lock-In Fun

Thank you to all the parents who allowed their children to experience the 2014 Spotlight Lock-in, it was a blast! It was great to get to know some of them better and have some good laughs together. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful and polite group of young ladies with us. Thanks again for all the fun!
