By Sunday, March 18th, please send in a 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10 head shot/school picture/close up photo of your child (only your child in the picture please), with their name and grade printed on BOTH the back of the picture and the envelope you submit it in.   You may drop this off at Sunday practices or leave at the front desk of either campus. Please write on the envelope Seussical Star Wall.

COSTUMES

Please see the link  Seussical Costume and Shoe Needs with details of the items you will need to provide for your thespians and/or crew members. 

Costumes should be turned in starting this Sunday and turned in no later than Sunday, March 18th.  

Costume Shoes are worn from Sunday, March 18^th through the duration of the plays.  Shoes, unlike costumes, spend each evening at home in their cozy shoe beds.

ALL CAST- boys and girls,  please wear cami/tanktops/t-shirts and compression shorts under your costume.

CONCESSIONS

We need everyone’s help this year to have a successful Concessions Stand serving refreshments during intermission for all of our Sunday and Monday performances.  We are asking all families to participate by purchasing store-bought individually packaged treats for our Concessions Stand.  All items will be sold for $1.  The Davis Academy will be providing the drinks.  No Nuts Please! Please drop off your treats at the rehearsals from Sunday, March 18^th – Thursday, March 23^rd.  You are welcome to bring the treats at drop off or pick up on any of these days. 

Letter from gift chair

Dear Seussical Parents,
 
I am writing to ask you for your support in recognizing our Director Kendrick Phillips and several other people who have gone over and above to make Seussical, Jr. the huge success that it will be. 
 
Each year Kendrick, our director, works tirelessly, long after rehearsals are over to make sure our school production resembles something you may have seen on Broadway – staging the show, creating the design of the costumes, designing the sets, props, creating all of the choreography, shopping, and more.
 
There are also a number of dedicated staff and volunteers who give countless hours of their time to ensure the high quality of our production. 

For those of you that are new to this experience, you will be amazed to see close to 160 children ages 5-14, come together for some unforgettable performances.
 
Please show your support for Kendrick and the production staff by donating $5 per child in the play (or an amount of your choice) to help purchase a Director's gift and flowers/thank yous for all who make our kids smile and shine when they are on stage. 
 
Please put cash in an envelope and write your child's name and "Seussical Gifts" on the outside.  You can leave these envelopes at the front desk at both schools or at any of the upcoming rehearsals.  We would love to collect all the money by the cast party on March 23^rd.
 
Thank you in advance for your participation. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
 
Thank you so much,

Joan Durbin, Gift Chair
