Donations of Materials
- Blue and Black spray paint for the night sky.
Christmas lights (2) strands for the night sky and the tree --- Kylie Dickson- Lots of green gauze or tulle to make the top of the tree
- Gold paint for the broken truth
- Green paper or ideas to create a few "grassy areas" on the stage
- Cardboard or other materials we could use to build a "den" for our coyotes and foxes
Volunteer to work with students on the set or costumes
We have made progress on many of the design ideas the kids are coming up with. Here are a few things I can hand over to anyone who might be interested! These are vague descriptions. Some items are pet projects of two or three kids, it would be great if they can help contribute.
- Paint the "Broken Truth" gold and write the text in black.
- Help paint, and hang stars in the "night sky design" created by Mr. Buzz's and Miss Sandi's classes. If you can paint landscapes they are interested in painting a simple mountain scape as well.
- Finish the tree, it still needs greenery. The stage also needs two or three paper grass knolls.
- Help create a comet which can be hung by a pulley system, maybe styrofoam with fabric.
- The coyotes and foxes are eager to help make some sort of den that they can crawl through or sit in. We need a good sized box perhaps and someone to help paint and build.
- Help Miss Rachel's class put together their animal masks. Some cutting still needs to be done.
Volunteers for the Day of the Show (Thursday, May 24 time TBA)
We would love for interested individuals to start coming to rehearsals.
Class Assistants - We need individuals who can come to 1-2 or more rehearsal times, learn the script and help keep a specific class or two on cue during the show. I think one person could supervise two classes, if it works for your schedule.
(Please see class practice times below.)
On the day of the show we also need some production assistance:
Sound - One person who can learn music cues, run the CD player, and monitor mic levels.
Backstage Manager - Our exits go through Miss Melissa's kindergarten room, I am hoping we can use the commons area outside her classroom as our "green room" or backstage. We need one person to help keep the kids calm and occupied while watching for cues to get performers on deck In Miss Melissa's room before their turn rolls around.
Stage Manager - This person will take a position on the stage by the sound system. This person's function is to keep track of the script and "call" performers by communicating with the Backstage Manager to get "on deck" or to "take the stage" when it is their turn.
Set Design and Manager is Derek, from Miss Rachel's class.
Class Practice Times
- Miss Shelly's class is the Shooting Stars group. They meet every Monday @ 1-1:45 in the gym.Their part is straight forward, though they do carry props.
- Miss Sarai's class is the Beautiful Land, and Landscape. (The landscape happens during Little Girl and Old Turtle) This group meets every Monday 1:45-2:30. This class has many different props and parts.
- Miss Sandi's class is The Village. They meet every Tuesday 12:45-1:30. This class is includes many narrators, and other backstage parts. Other than that, they are put together and can use minimal support.
- Mr. Buzz's class is The Battle. They meet every Thursday 12:45-1:30. This class has props that need to be collected after their parts.
- Miss Rachel's class is Animals. They meet Thursdays 1:30-2:15. They have a main part and them a small group of them have a second part before the finale.
- The Turtle - This part uses two students at a time, from different classes. It might be good to have someone keeping track of our turtle performers and costume throughout the show. Maybe this person could also help Derek, the prop manager.
Thank you for any help you can give!
