Hello parents!
We can't believe we have come to the end of our musical journey this year! We, as a musical team, are so grateful for all the parent help with concessions, lobby decor, set building and painting, ticket sales, posters, hoodies, flyers, costumes, cast party and the many other things that makes a musical complete- we couldn't have done this amazing show without all your help! Thank you!!!

Just a couple of things as we conclude this year:
1. The party for cast and crew will be tomorrow in the auditorium from 3-5pm. Pizza and snacks will be served. We will be watching the students' performance from Thursday night on the big screen. Unfortunately, we can't release the video to the parents so please don't ask because we are sad about it, but since we can't take the cast to see the musical movie of Matilda, that is out right now and was our initial plan, we thought this was the next best option. We appreciate the Davis family making this happen for our students at the last minute! 
2. We have some lost and found items so, if your child is missing something, have them check the lost and found table by the front office or check with us at the party. We had several jackets and coats left. 
3. If you find any costumes you know are from the schools, just bring them to the front office and let them know they need to go to the drama dept. The Crunchem Hall shirts belong to the school. Some students thought they got to keep them, but sadly, no. A local school will be borrowing our costumes and props and why we need them back. Sometimes parents are helping clean rooms after the show has ended and they find costumes. 
4. We will not be announcing next year's musical until the End of the Year Assembly in May and we are not sure at this time if we are keeping the December performance schedule or not. We will let you know when we do. You may want to check on our website periodically for updates: wjhtheatre.weebly.com 
5. Here's the link to all the pictures from the photographer: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uYcaV3IqVSd3qqJ9LOGDHbPoCf0z803n?usp=share_link
you can download and print the pictures you want. We are hoping to put together some behind the scenes pictures into our musical drive and send you the link, but those won't be available until after winter break more than likely. 
6. Your students will be sent home with a colored keepsake program from the show. 
7. Students always ask what they can work on to prepare for the following year's musical, and we always say: take voice lessons, take dance lessons, take some acting classes and don't rest on your laurels from the previous year. All these things will help them in their audition. Please remember, if your child got a speaking part this year it does not guarantee them one next year. Each musical requires different talent and personalities on stage. You can also look on our website under "audition" for information: wjhtheatre.weebly.com
Thank you again for all the time, energy, money and support to make this show happen so beautifully!!!
We are so grateful for our parent volunteer- THANK YOU!!!!!!! We hope to see our 7th & 6th graders return and wish the 8th graders much success, and hope to see them on their respective high school stages next year :)

The double dress rehearsal went well yesterday and we are so proud of all the hard work and dedication that has gone into making this show come together so beautifully. Thank you to all the parents that volunteered for the cast luncheon, it was a big hit! Thank you to all the parents who have helped with so many aspects of the show: your time, money and talent has been so impressive and we are very grateful! 

The elementary performance will be Tuesday and so the students will be performing during 1st through 4th period and then they will go to 2nd lunch and will go to their 5th through 7th period classes. Students that have 1st lunch will be late to 5th period and teachers are aware of this. Students are marked as a released school activity when you view their attendance. They will come to the drama and music rooms on Tuesday. 

If students can come with their hair and makeup done it will create less stress that morning since we only have one parent volunteer for hair and makeup that day. Overall, the cast's hair and makeup were great yesterday- thank you! We only have one parent signed up to help Thursday and Friday night and no one on Saturday and with over 80 cast members it's going to be up to you to make sure your child's hair and makeup is done. Some students weren't wearing any makeup and it made them look "washed out" under the bright lights and we want to make sure they stand out on stage :)  Here's the link we sent out last week to the makeup instructions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fTAftrlxQGU9o7usxOw2n-ogmTmUZ0nD7xCqPxRZB-0/edit?usp=sharing  

Please see the schedule below or look at the rehearsal schedule for times they will need to be at the school this week. You can find the ticket links and volunteer signups there as well. We could still use some more water and concession items if you are able: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c094eaaab22a7fcc07-matilda

Thank you for supporting your students and this amazing show!
