These kids are a blast!


Well as of Monday, our first month of Doo Wop rehearsals are over. Seems like a dream. The kids are really starting the Mesh together as a cast, we always enjoy seeing that.
Remember to look below to find instructions on costume's. And please e-mail us if you have any questions. Through the month of February things are going to be moving fast. Most of the blocking will be done in the next week or so. Please send your kids fed and watered. Sometimes blocking can be a BIG snore for those not on the stage. So it is very advisable to send your actor or actress with something to read, or better yet homework!
Thank you for letting us work with your kids. It is such a pleasure to watch them grow. We enjoy seeing them dance and sing and make friends. We just love and appreciate the relationships that we are able to establish with such amazing kids.

Costume Info


Hi Everyone, here is a picture of the costumes we would like most of the girls in. This should give you a good idea of exactly what we need for the girls shirts. Thanks for your help. Make sure that you all get a Newsletter this month. They will be handed out this week. Everyone needs one...

Hi Guys!


I am sorry I have been to busy to update this Blog. This play is moving very fast, it is hard to keep up.

Next week I will be sending home a newsletter. Make sure that you get one! It has some very important information about costumes. I will post some pictures and some instructions on this blog by Monday. The costumers are busy sewing away, but they need some help.

Also you can start picking up tickets from Norma as of next week. I have them ready, if the printer can have them on Monday, I will bring them on Monday. Norma can go over how everything works when we get them.

T-Shirts have been ordered, and I expect that they will be in by the end of next week. Possibly the beginning of the following week. We encourage you to wear them ALL the time. (wash them a few times, hee hee) But we love to see all those little Billboards walking around advertising the show!

That's it for now.

Thank you parents

Yesterday was our first rehearsal and parent meeting. The parents were "few" in number, but we give a great thanks to those who attended and to those who called to make other arrangements. We still have lots of kids without signed contracts, payments, shirt sizes, date arrangements and other such VERY important stuff.

We will be ordering t-shirts this week, if your child has not paid and has not turned in all shirt size and contract information we will not order him or her a t-shirt. Also if we have not received all of the above by Monday, January 11th your child will not be allowed to be at rehearsal. This is a safety issue for Upstage and involves liability that we as a Board are unwilling to take. Please do not miss this opportunity.

On the lighter note, so far the cast has been so much fun. At the read through we were able to hear some of the voices and see some of the fun characters start to emerge. It was very exciting. This play is going to be so much fun. It is so much fun to watch the cast of each play come together as a cast family. We are excited and honored to work with these kids. They continue to amaze us with their personalities and kindness towards each other.

See Ya Later!
