A Note from the Marvelous Marci…..

We have another Tech Week and then Dress Rehearsal. It is vital actors have everything they need for costumes when they are back from Spring Break.

Things actors may need are the following:

  • Jazz shoes, character shoes, boots, shoes etc that match their character
  • Hose, tights, etc to go with their character
  • Tank tops and shorts. NO LOGOS! (All actors)
  • Shirts, pants, jeans, etc If your character requires it.
  • Anything else I may ask you to bring.

Please make sure:

  • You shower every day.
  • To use deodorant. Reapply as needed.
  • If you need a Hygiene Kit, see me.
  • Hang up your costumes! Remember, you are always auditioning for your next role. That includes how well you take care of your costume.
  • If you see someone else’s costume on the floor, Hang it up!
***If you don’t know what your character requires, ask me. I will be more than happy to let you know what you need.

It is VERY important that you are prepared. Tech Week is when we work the bugs out of the sets, sound, lighting, costumes, etc.

I hope you have had a wonderful Spring Break and I look forward to seeing all of you on April 9th!

Note from the director before Addams Family Tech Week

Posted on by

Dear STC Family,

I am tremendously fortunate to have such great support from so many of you in so many different ways.

I am honored to be working with such talented and hardworking students and staff.  I am proud of the cooperation, mutual respect, the level of the commitment, and the teamwork that has been demonstrated by everyone involved in this production.

These students have put egos aside and discovered that whether they had one line or fifty, were on or off stage, that everyone shares equally in the pride and success of such an accomplishment.

To our theatre parents and family, thank you for sharing your students with me.  I’m always aware that they spend many hours away from home to create this art that we do…  I am grateful and honored to work with such special students. Thank you.
