Town Hall for dancers to leave their costumes in after
the performance.
Hair
and makeup:
Unless otherwise noted
above, All
Dancers should wear their hair in a low
bun. Buns should be at the nape of the neck
(low enough that they won't interfere with hats).
Performers with shorter hair, should pull their hair
away from their face using clips or barrettes that match
their hair color.
Light stage make-up is
recommended for performers- light face powder and blush,
eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow (gray, brown or another
earth tone, not sky blue please), and lipstick should be
worn. A little make-up helps keep performers from
looking washed out onstage and keeps their features
sharp.
Photographs:
Professional photographs
of the show will be taken at the dress rehearsal, so
please be in full costume, hair and makeup for the
rehearsal on 12/14. NON-FLASH Photography and
video will be allowed during the performance and dress
rehearsal.
Publicity:
This is a job that everyone can
help with. We have publicity posters for the show
that need to be posted around your towns. Each
performer will be given 2-3 posters to put up in
their area. Ask businesses if you can post one in
their window, post them on public boards at post offices
and libraries, post them wherever you can! Spread
the word! I want to get a great turn out for this
show, and I need your help to do it.
Volunteers:
Volunteers are needed to make
the show a success. I have several volunteer
assignments that need to be
filled.
Toy Drop Off in New
Haven:
In years
past we have collected 100's of toys at this event and I
am looking for folks who may work in New Haven and are
interested in helping to drop off toys at the Marine
office at 30 Woodward Avenue. Toys can be loaded
in to your car before and after the performance and you
will need to drop them off the following day in New
Haven. Please contact Miss Carrie if you can help
with this at all. We need as many cars as possible
to take toys.
Post Show Clean-up and
load out:
This is one of the most
important volunteer jobs. I need several
volunteers interested in staying until 8:30 or 9:00PM
after the show to help us get everything packed up and
out of the town hall. I will also need someone
with a larger vehicle (van or truck) to help bring
props, scenery and costumes back to The Dance Corner
after the show. If you live near the studio and
can help bring some items back there after the show,
please let me know.
Ticket Sales and Toy
Collection:
I need folks to handle admission
ticket sales and collect any Toys for Tots
donations. Ticket sellers will need to be at the
auditorium before the show, no later than
6:30PM.
Please
email Miss Carrie if you or a family
member can help with any of these jobs. Thank
you!
