And remember, costumes are not intended to be expensive – please look for opportunities to be creative or borrow where you can. As long as your child feels special and in character, that really is the best. Please, please do not make any major changes to hair without checking in with Lisa specifically. She is coming up with ideas for hair in performance based on what your child looks like now.

Cast List

After a very exciting conversation our coaches have created a cast list to be proud of. Our challenge was to take so much incredible talent and love of the theater match each kid with the perfect part. We'll distribute scripts next week at practice for our first read through.

First practice is Thursday, January 27th right after school until 5 pm. Please be prompt at pickup to make room for 3/4 basketball. As space is limited you will need to check for a confirmation (e-mail from Cat) before attending practice. Call or e-mail if you have questions.

Calais Drama Club - Policies

Thank you for your interest in the Calais Recreation Association - Drama Program. This is a skills-based, co-ed program for any child in the fourth, fifth, or sixth grade.

Our coaching priority is simple. We want every child to have fun and learn more about working in the theater. Our main objective will be to promote team play and help the kids believe in themselves while working towards the common goal of an amazing performance of Robin Hood on May 6, 2011.

PRACTICE:

Our practice schedule will start Thursday, January 27th and will continue through May 5th. Practice and performances will be held at the Calais School. Practice will run from after school to 5:30pm every Thursday afternoon. We will need to end at 5:00 on nights there are basketball games (until 2/17.) A more detailed practice schedule will come home in a few weeks. Each child should bring a filled water bottle to each practice and performance. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from practice and performance.

MISCELLANEOUS:

We are looking forward to a successful season full of lots of fun. If you have any ideas, questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call or drop us an email. Attached you will find a signup form, a copy of our policies and a confirmation you must sign with your child acknowledging you have read and agree to follow the policies outlined. While Robin Hood is a large production, space is limited to the number of roles available. We will do our best to follow a first come, first served plan. Please turn your forms (signups and policy confirmation) in at the front office with Mrs. Cioffi as soon as possible and if you are concerned about timing, you may ask her to date stamp your signups. You will be contacted by e-mail before the first practice to confirm your place in the program.
