Monday Jungle Book Cast Party and Final Class

Each student will receive 2 tickets for EACH performance (a total of 4 tickets). Tickets are $12 each and will be charged to your NTS account. Un-ticketed children may sit on the floor or laps so that you do not have to use one of your tickets for them. Once all ticketed patrons are seated and children are on the floor, we will allow any other guests to come in, based on floor seating availability.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR DRESS REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES:
Ladies:
BASE LAYER = Capezio Light Suntan Tights
and a Suntan Leotard.
You can purchase these on Amazon or at Spell’s across the street from St. Thomas Hospital on Harding Road.
We know deliver times are uncertain, please plan ahead and be SURE your child has these by dress rehearsal! Black or tan jazz shoes or ballet shoes.

Students should arrive for dress rehearsal and performances in their Base Layer and hair and make up.
They should wear a button down or zip up shirt or jacket over their Base Layer.

NO jewelry or Nail Polish, Hair Bands should be the color of their hair, or neutral..no pink, green, etc…

HAIR: Should be slicked back into a neat hairstyle. 2 high ponytails, 2 braids, 1 ponytail or bun, but NO whispies. Starting with wet hair and using gel or a TON of hairspray will achieve this look!

MAKE UP: Brown eyeshadow, bright blush, mascara and L’Oreal True Red Lipstick (you can purchase this at Walgreens or Kroger).

Gentlemen: Tight fitting / compression short and shirt to wear under their costume. Below are links of ideas for compression shorts and shirts that work well.
UNDERSHIRT. SHORTS
We have communal dressing areas, so please be sure they have on “underclothes” that will fit under their costume. Black converse style shoe.

HAIR: Hair should be neatly slicked back with gel or other products.

Make up: We will apply powder as needed.

ATTENDANCE
Attendance is extremely important as we add new material to the show each week. If you know your child has an unavoidable conflict, please let us know ASAP via email to Ms. Vanessa so that we can work the rehearsal schedule around that. We would hate to schedule your child's BIG number only to find out that they won't be attending that day. Each student and every rehearsal are important. The expectation is that they are working on lines and music at home always, but that in no way replaces what is done with the full cast in rehearsal.
