Chaperones and Backstage Help 

Since this is a smaller show, we won't need nearly as many volunteers as we do for Spring Production, but we do still need some help! We need about 2 people backstage to help move sets/props and assist with quick changes. We also 2 chaperones in the dressing rooms for the younger dancers. Basically just making sure their costume, hair, and makeup is correct and getting them to and from the stage. We will send out sign up information closer to the show.

If you volunteer for either night, you are required to be at Dress Rehearsal to practice! All volunteers will receive a free ticket to the performance of their choosing 

Advertising 

Please make sure to share the Facebook event and spread the word! We also have posters to hang, available in the office, if you know of a good place to put one up. 

Costumes 

Click here for notes on costumes, hair, shoes, tights, and makeup. Please note that we do recommend a nude colored leotard for dancers to wear under their costumes, especially if you have costume changes. Otherwise, only nude undergarments are allowed (they show up under the bright lights through the costumes otherwise).
