Dear Musical Theater & Drama Families,

As we gear up for the end of semester performances, I wanted to touch base on a slew of things to prepare your child and you for the coming weeks. 

During the next two weeks in all our classes, we will be working very hard to make sure all performance pieces are ready for our Spring Recital April 30th. With that being said I ask that you please make sure your children are practicing at home. Just as kids on a sport’s team depend on one another to win a game, your child’s classmates depend on them to know their parts so they can perform each piece to the best of their ability. I always tell your children it’s about progress not perfection, but to see progress they have to be doing extra practicing at home, not just in class.

Once our April 30th rectial passes we will then be strengthening our separate pieces for the Lochwood Annual Showcase which is on May 28th. 

Below you will find your child’s dress code for these performance:

Recital April 30th 

• Tiny Thespians “Hard Knock Life”

1920s & 1930s, jumpers, skirts with suspenders,button up shirts or plain shirts, shorts with suspenders. Reference The original Annie movie or Newsies for clothing ideas. Sneakers or Boots

If your child is in multiple classes, I suggest making easy small switches that can be done off to the side or in the bathroom, or even one outfit that can work for all pieces.

The Group Recital on April 30th will be held in the “upstairs”/front sanctuary. The Showcase in May will be held “downstairs” in the performance auditorium/gym. The Showcase is a ticketed event which can be purchased online at lochwood.info. As well, program ads can also be purchased online. 

We hope to see everyone at the final two performances. The students come to Lochwood to not only learn their craft, but to perform as well. If you were not originally thinking you would be attending, please reconsider. You will be amazed at the abilities of the students performing in these shows. You won’t want to miss anything!
