We are very excited about this year’s Production of Alice in Wonderland Jr.! We understand that some students are involved in several activities, however the GSMS Production is a major event at the school involving over 45 students and requires a large commitment from students and parents alike. Therefore we need a firm commitment from all who are
involved.
Here are some of the things that are expected of the cast and crew:
- Students need be at all their rehearsals (and on time) unless they are ill or have permission from the directors. The whole cast is not required for all rehearsals. We have music rehearsals on Wednesdays from 3-4:30 and acting rehearsals on Thursdays from 3-4:30. We will update our casting call weekly on our website. http://GSMSmusic.weebly.com. As the show approaches, we will also be having some weekend rehearsals. This is the only time we get to rehearse in the gymnasium on the stage so it is key that all cast members be in attendance. 3 unexcused absences may result in dismissal from production. Written excuses must be
provided for absences. - The two weeks before production (particularly the weekend and dress rehearsal) require a considerable amount of time. Please bear with us. It is critical that students be available for rehearsals the weekends before production. If your child is unable to make it to the weekend rehearsals listed below, please let the Directors of the show know as soon as possible. Absence from dress rehearsal, except in case of serious illness or family emergency will result in removal from the show.
- Cast members must commit to all performances. We perform three times on March 28th: once in the morning to our elementary feeder schools, in the afternoon for GSMS, and in the evening for the public. Our final show is in the evening of March 29th.
- They will be required to provide part of their costume(s). These would be readily available items (e.g.,shirts, ties, blouses, skirts, pants). More information will follow.
- This year we are asking for a $20 fee from each of our students involved in Production. This fee will cover such expenses as royalties, shipping, costumes, sets, lighting and sound, and make-up.
