PLAY REHEARSAL UPDATE WITH CHANGES!!!

Good morning everyone. We have realized that the schedule that was sent out is very confusing and difficult to understand.
Part of the confusion is that we didn't explain that there are 3 different casts we are working with.  There are 2 casts of 3-6th graders called the Ham cast  & the Green Eggs Cast.  In general the Green Eggs Cast practices Mon 2:40-4:00pm & Tues from 3:30-5:00pm and the Ham cast practices Mon 3:40-5:00pm & Wed 3:30-5:00pm.  There is a 20 min overlap of the two casts on Monday! However, some days will only require certain groups.  The different groups are the following: Horton, Jojo, Cat, Mazie, Gertrude, Kangaroos, Wicks (short for Wickershams), Bird Girls, Jungle animals, Mr. & Mrs. Mayor, the Whos & then the full cast. Your child should know what part they have.  (Yertle comes with Wickershams, and Vlad comes with jungle animals.) We will also be choosing a Grinch from among the whos, some fish who will be dancers from the jungle animals, and some circus animals from the jungle animals as well.
I hope that clarifies some of what we are doing.  We have typed up the lyrics to all of the songs and we will post that link later today, after putting the songs into categories of which songs are sung by each group.  I hope this will help!!

Now, for the schedule, WE ARE MAKING A NEW SCHEDULE THAT WILL HAVE CHANGES SO THROW AWAY THE ONE YOU GOT YESTERDAY!!!!For this week, the only students we need at rehearsals at 3:30pm are Horton, Jojo, The Cat, Gertrude & Mazie.
Then at 4:20-5:00pm we need the Bird Girls & Mr. & Mrs. Mayor as well.
Everyone else in the main production has a break from practice.


One final note, some of you may have kids in the production that are K-2 grade.  These students are performing the show opener and are in the Sam I Am ChoirThey will rehearse TUESDAYS ONLY for 45 min directly after school.  So 2:15-3:00pm for A track & 3:30-4:15 for B track.
They are practicing as tracks, but will be divided for the performances according to family & will be with their siblings then.  More information will come on that as we go along.

Thank you for your patience with us as we work this all out.  We are all volunteers and are doing the best we can.  If anyone wants to join our production team, we would love help!!
