Theater Week!!!!

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:41:48 GMT

Reminders for Theater week

* Please make sure you have everything ready for theater week. You will need a plastic container just large enough to hold all your costume pieces and shoes. Please, please, please, don't crumple up your costumes making them wrinkled. Make sure all costume pieces are clean and ironed. You may bring your costumes on a hanger to avoid wrinkles. Remember, cast members, you have worked long and hard for this moment, so you will want to look your very best on stage.

* All the little pieces of your costume need to be marked and accounted for in your container. Don’t forget your baggie of hair supplies and makeup! Remember your RED CINEMAGIC SHIRTS as well.

* Each cast member will also want to bring a bottle of water (NO COLORED DRINKS), snacks, small games, or cards, or a book to read to keep themselves busy while waiting during rehearsals and performances.

Please be extra, extra careful with your costumes. THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS!

Painter Needed!

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:12:55 GMT

* We do have one big thing we are in desperate need of, and that is an artist that can finish the detail painting of our red limousine that we are using for our backdrop this year. The limo is put together and the main body is painted, but we need the shadowing and detail work that will make it look professional. If you, or anyone you know is willing to come into the studio, any day or evening this week and complete the painting of the limo, please contact one of our directors, Suzie or Janet, at suzie.riach@yahoo.com, or janetkildee@verizon.net ASAP, so they can let you into the studio. We need to have the job completed by this Saturday, April 14, but preferable before. It can be painted anytime, other than during the hours of rehearsal. Thank you!

Act I is Wednesdays, Act II on Thursdays, and Saturdays includes Act I, Act II AND Finale practice at 2:30. You need to be at all three. Parents, please double check your child’s bin. Make sure that everything they need for the theater is in them. That includes shoes for both numbers, all the pieces of each costume, any belts, or hair accessories, their Ziploc bag for brush or comb and make-up for the girls. Don’t forget the red CineMagic shirt and at least one bottle of water. Please hang your costumes up until theater week to avoid wrinkling and to keep them fresh. There is no rehearsal on April 3, 4 or 7, but plenty of fundraisers. See you there!

Fundraising and Helping Out

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:48:04 GMT

Everyone has been so patient and Helping Out with all the fundraising we are doing. It is so important in a non-profit. We really only fundraise a couple months a year to put on such a big production. Costumes, sets, lighting and sound are just a couple of the things that need to be paid for. We still have a theater and 4 performances to go. We are so lucky to have so many different ways to raise the funds that help to pay for all this so we can keep the cost low to the families. How Can You Help???

 Please invite your friends and neighbors to the restaurant or movie nights. Ticket sales for Movie extended till March 31.

 Help sell car wash tickets and help out at the car wash

 Invite everyone you know to go online and buy tickets for the show.

 We also have company employee match programs you can check on at work

 Business sponsors are a big help. We will be sending out the business sponsor sheet, so if you know a business that wants to help a local non-profit, please let them know about us.

 We will also be selling concessions at the theater.

 The programs at the theater will be $2 each so you can get as many as you want. Every child will receive a commemorative program to take home and keep.

 Help out, we are volunteer run. Be a volunteer and lighten the load.

More Picture Day Info - March 24

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:12:43 GMT

Picture Day is right around the corner!

Next Saturday, March 24, is the first day of our new rehearsal schedule (attached) and also our Picture Day!

******We need everyone to arrive 45 minutes before their rehearsal time to get makeup on for the picture. They need to be dressed in their full costume and girls need their black eyeliner and mascara already on!!!******

Cast members in the first song (Breakthrough) need to be there by 7:30am at the latest if they want to get their makeup on before their picture is taken.

Please Note: All Girls need black eyeliner and black mascara. They need to have this applied at home before coming to the studio for picture day, and to all dress rehearsals at the studio and theater. If it is not applied at home they will not be wearing it in the pictures or on stage. Each girl needs to bring her eyeliner and mascara in a Ziplock bag with her name on it (in case it needs to be reapplied between numbers) as makeup cannot be shared!!

You can buy black eyeliner at Olive (new store by Kmart) for $1.99 and if you say you are from CineMagic, they will give you 10% off. They also have mascara there for $3.99.

Also, everyone (girls and boys) needs their own hair brush or comb. These cannot be shared so if your child doesn't have one, we won't be able to brush their hair.

Some of the songs require girls to bring hair ties, bobby pins, and/or wig caps. Olive sells wig caps for $1.99 and bobby pins for $1 (buy the made in USA ones). Please don't buy bobby pins or wig caps at the 99 cents store. The cheap ones don't work!

If parents can donate traditional eye shadow applicators (not the Q-tip, cotton swab type), it makes eye shadow go on much easier! It would be great to receive donations of makeup sponge wedges as well (please none from the 99cents store). Wedges are sold at Target for a couple of dollars. We are also still in need of wooden bar stools!

Upcoming Events!!! (Remember: Costume Checks this week!)

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 03:46:08 GMT

Upcoming Events

 Costume check days- March 14, 15 & 17 (If your child has taken home their costume, please have them bring it to rehearsal on Wednesday, March 14, or Thursday, March 15, and Saturday, March 17 for Costume Check. We will have all cast members try on their costumes to check for final adjustments. If your child has not yet received their costume, they most likely will next week. We will have them try it on and check for needed changes. Everyone will have their costumes by picture day, Saturday, March 24. Please make sure that your child takes good care of their costumes. It is the only one they have.)

 Packages on sale now at pvef.org – individual tickets on sale March 17.
