This weeks schedule

Hi everyone! Most of you probably already have a hard copy of the schedule or have looked it up on the blog or the school website, and we are so glad that you have. But, due to some unforeseen scheduling surprises, everything for this week is different now. 

The week now looks like this:

Tuesday: 3:30-4:30 Squirrels, Veruca, Mr. Salt  

               4:15-5:00 All Oompa Loompas, Mike, Veruca, Violet and Augustus 

Wednesday: 3:30-4:15 Charlie, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, Grandpa Joe, 

                    4:15-5:00 Wonka, Ticket Winners and Parents 

Thursday: Full Cast 1:25-3:00

Also, the rehearsal for the squirrels is mandatory. This will be their only chance to work with the choreographer and get sized for a costume, so if they miss it they will be unable to be part of the squirrel chorus. They will still be able to participate in the opening and closing numbers of the show, but that will be it. Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding with this project, we are doing everything we can to make sure we’re all ready!

Chorus Costumes!

Hello Wonka Parents!

   We are halfway to our production and the show is starting to come together! We are now entering the next phase of production and that means costumes! If your child has a lead then you should have received an email about what is needed. Any questions please talk to Maren or Steph. 

    If your child is in a chorus, Oompa loompa, Squirrel, Cook or Candy Gal or Candy Kid, then they will have their pieces put together by our costume directors. You can then pay for and receive the costumes on November 9th. If you have already purchased items and your child is in a chorus please reach out to your director and let them know. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Emily Baker is the Oompa Loompa Costume Director.

I will also post the costume sheets here on the blog and send a note home with your students next Tuesday, which is a Full Cast rehearsal.
