Recital Tips - Dress Rehearsals

We know many of you have questions about the upcoming recital so we will continue to give you tips and information along the way. The recital is a very busy, but exciting time for everyone. Soon the Spotlight will announce which classes will be performing in the Friday 7:30, Saturday 1:30 and 6:30 p.m. shows. This will be indicated in the costume books in the lobbies. Your child’s class will also then receive a dress rehearsal time. Dress rehearsals will be held at the Memorial Theater the week before the show. Every class will be assigned

a day and time to practice on stage in full costume and make-up. Each class will have a 10 minute on-stage rehearsal so it is VERY important that you mark this day and time down and arrive early, if you are late and miss your rehearsal your child is going to miss their opportunity to practice on stage. We cannot stress enough how important it is to be on time and ready to go on stage during their scheduled time. Dress rehearsal is mandatory, your child is not permitted to perform in the show if they miss their rehearsal.
