When Orphans
Costume Check
I now have a labeled garment bag for each student! They are located on the clothing racks outside of Room 12. Parents may pick up their child's garment bag at any time this week and send it back to school with the costume inside.
* I also work on the costumes and props for the shows at Strong and Coginchaug. We are working on building our ‘theater library’ and are looking for donations that can be used throughout the district. As you clean out your closets, garages, and attics this spring, please keep us in mind!
Hair/Makeup
If your child has hair that is longer than chin length, please pull it back for both performances. It can be worn half up/half down, pulled all the way back, braided, etc.- just back so that it won’t interfere with microphones and costumes. Unless your child is a main, named character and you are planning on doing their own makeup, kids don’t have to wear any makeup or facepaint.
We will use a little bit of stage makeup on the orphans for the first scene to make their faces look a bit dirty. We will then use makeup wipes to take it off before their servant scenes.

SNACKS DURING TECH WEEK
For the 5:00 rehearsals and school performance, please be mindful of your child’s snacks. Please make sure it is not a messy one that could possibly stain costumes! We will give the kids a quick snack break right after school, before rehearsal starts.
