  This is a dress rehearsal.  Send water and a couple of snacks.  They will be working very hard.

Costumes - Only useful if you know which scenes you're in

Miss Lynch (Jessie) Dress, heels, hair upswept, prim

Patty (Sasha) Cheerleader Outfit (we have)

Eugene (Max) Geekwear – short pants, buttoned up shirt, tucked in, neat hair.

Pink Ladies (Rachel, Marta, Rosa, Cheyenne, Teagan, Liz, Lily, Riley) Pink tops/jackets (we have some) open with white tanks and Capri pants.

TBirds (Silas, Jackson, Erhan, Dylan, Nik, Aidan) Dark Leather Jackets (we have some), white t-shirts and jeans that fit (shirts should be tucked in without pants falling downJ)

Sandy (Halle) White Cardigan (we have) with skirt and shirt underneath, sweet

PJ Party (Pink Ladies, Olivia, Tehya, Louisa) Old fashioned looking PJs – nightgowns, robes and slippers, nothing too modern or printed

Cheerleaders (Sasha, Maddie, Lydia, Olivia, Louisa, Tehya) Red and White cheerleading outfits (we have some), pompoms and batons.

Picnic Party Scene (All Pink Ladies and TBirds plus Ashley, Becca, Val, Isla, Reed, and Jessie and Marley if different looks) Regular clothes for all like Pink Ladies and TBirds but without signature jackets if not a Pink Lady or TBird.

Dance Scene (All but Sandy and Ashlyn) Regular outfits for all with added “dressier” touch. For girls a skirt substituted for pants or dress and boys a nicer shirt. Johnny Casino (Reed) and Vince Fontaine (Ohan) should both be dressy in “suitish” attire. Ms. Lynch should be slightly dressier by adding jewelry and makeup. Cha Cha should be very fancy if possible.

Beauty School Dropout Scene – Danny (Silas) sweat suit, Roger should have colorful boxers underneath jeans (with safety pair of snug briefs “just in case”) Teen Angel (Ashlyn) and Choir (Becca, Val, Isla, Ashley ) all in white with Choir perhaps covered in salon smocks.

Last Scene Danny (Silas) letterman sweater (we have) and glasses, Sandy (Halle) changes to Pink Lady jacket and pants. Eugene (Max) changes to leather jacket (we have) and hair greased back.

This is a complete list of everything needed for props for our production less the items already received in. We’re hoping by asking for help that many will not mind letting us borrow items that will be returned after 6/6. If you may be able to help, feel free to reach one of the direction staff. Thanks, Cat, Sage, Laura, Lisa, Ryan, and Eileen
