Tech and Dress Rehearsals:
All rehearsals are closed rehearsals unless you are scheduled to help. We will let the younger children go as soon as we possibly can. We will also make every effort to be done at the designated time and will call the parents if we get done sooner; however, in order to complete our scheduled tasks we have occasionally found it necessary to go over and appreciate your patience with the rehearsal process. Make sure to leave a phone number where you can be reached on the sign-in form when you drop your child off. Please send a bag of things to keep them occupied during the waiting as well as water and simple snacks that won’t make a mess.
Dress Rehearsal- Hair, make-up, costumes. We will run this just like the real show so do everything you plan to do for the actual show.
Friday Night, Saturday Matinee and Night Performances
The evening shows start at 7pm and the matinee start at 1pm. Please pay attention to the call times when your dancer is supposed to arrive to prepare for the show. There will be an adult in TheRAP lobby to check children in. After each performance, pick up your child promptly and make sure to see the adult in the lobby to sign them out just as you would at school. We will not let them leave with someone else without prior written notice from you.
