Last week at the Middle School

Hey Everyone in Oz,

This is our last week of rehearsals at the Middle School. This is also our last week of blocking!!!! That means that our cake is almost ready to bake - yummmy.

Pay attention to these important things:
Next week we will be back at the Playhouse. We will have a different rehearsal schedule - Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15 - 6:00. Everyone will need to stay until 6:00. We have lots of rehearsing to do and everyone is very important.

Remember to work on your lines and songs. Everything needs to be completely memorized when we get to the Playhouse. Once we are at the Playhouse there will be no books allowed on stage. This is the week to really get your lines down.

Here is a very important message from our costumer. Please read it and then have your parents read it:

Costuming this show is getting very involved and very expensive, so I am asking parents to please look in your closets, boxes, attics, or wherever the old stuff is and help me find the following.

I still need three munchkin outfits. I am using shiny, frilly, some are those princess Halloween costume type thing. The sizes are one size 12 girl, one size 14/16 girl, or tiny junior size and one size 3to 5 junior.

I still need 11 green outfits or dresses for the emerald city, so of course think pretty and green. The sizes range from a 7/8 girls to women's sizes. Most of what I need is girls sizes but if they are bigger and can be cut down that works too. The boys costumes are pretty much done.

I also need to make six aprons for the emerald city so if you have any green material, they don't all have to match.

We need two men's black turtlenecks, one size small and one size medium.

These kids all need black soft sole shoes, I don't have a complete list of who needs what yet, some of the parents will provide these. If you have any old kids ballet slippers we would certainly take them and see who they would fit.

We have no sponsors for this show so the budget for the costumes is coming from donations and ticket sales. If you have items or can make a donation, please drop them off at the Playhouse office or call Donna 509-671-1442 for pick up.

Thanks so much

Donna Maki

 

Here is a message from Me:

Don't forget that you will need to provide a white tank top for girls and a white t shirt for boys and light colored shorts to  wear under your costumes so that we can make quick and easy costume changes backstage. You also need to provide black soft soled shoes. Boys need to provide their own black socks. Think ahead. You will need your tanks, t shirts, shorts, shoes and socks by the next costume day on Oct. 20.

Parents: Don't forget to check out the information at the top of this blog for Volunteer opportunities and ticket information.

See you all at the Middle School on Tuesday,

Dee Ann
