Dear Parents,

As you know, your son or daughter has been working hard in our schools musical,
The Lion King Jr. As we near tech and performance week, here are a few things we could
use your help with:

Rehearsals: Please make sure your child is aware of and attending all rehearsals.
This is particularly important for the last week of rehearsals. Students are
REQUIRED to be at the following rehearsals:
- Mon., May 22th 12-5pm (Shoreline in the gym). This is our dress rehearsal
and first time we use the sets, do final costumes measurements, etc. Your child
should arrive well rested and well fed with a water bottle. They should wear
comfy clothes they can easily change in and out of, and move in. If you could
help prepare a healthy snack to share, please let me know! Our cast is
approximately 50 pre-teens. Mme. OReilly needs some parents with tool
wielding skills to help construct sets starting at 9 am and take down after 5pm.
- Tuesday May 23th 6-9:30pm (SPECTRUM HIGH SCHOOL) This is our tech
rehearsal. Children need to be fed prior to arriving, bring a water bottle, and a
quiet activity to do. This is our first run with lights and sound, and is a very
stop-go rehearsal. Mme. OReilly needs some parents with tool wielding skills to
help construct sets starting at 4 pm.
- Wednesday May 24 6-930pm (SPECTRUM HIGH SCHOOL) This is our full
dress rehearsal. We run through the show twice with all the lights, sound,
costumes, and sets. A professional photographer will be present taking photos.
Full Cast photos may be purchased for $ 10 after the final show.

Shows:
- Thursday May 25: Students will be leaving the school at lunch to be bused to
Spectrum for our grade 5 show. They will be dismissed AT SPECTRUM at
2:50pm, and be expected to return to the theatre for 6pm for our Opening
night. Students will be dismissed after all costumes and change rooms have
been checked, usually about 9pm.
- Friday, May 26 6-9pm, and Saturday, May 27 1-430pm. Same as
Thursday, except students expected to turn in their costumes and props, and
help clean up from show. Occasionally, there has been a cast party organized
by students/parents. Please contact Mme. OReilly if you are interested in

 hosting or organizing this event. Mme. OReilly also needs some parents with
tool wielding skills to help deconstruct sets starting at 4 pm.

Fundraising: We are making fundraising baskets and raffle items. A newsletter

about has been sent home, but very few have been returned.

Ticket orders:

Tickets cost $10 for adults and $7 for students. Each cast member will be given
one complimentary ticket, which must be exchanged for an actual ticket. Parents
are encouraged to purchase tickets for their preferred show time EARLY to avoid
disappointment. While we have occasionally still had tickets available at the door
for purchase, last year we SOLD OUT for some shows. Attached to this form is a
ticket order form. Please have your child return this to Mme. OReilly as early as
Mon., May 1st when tickets go on sale. Ticket orders and payment can also be
given to Mrs. House in the office.
We do not have change nor do we take credit cards, so please try to send exact
funds or cheques made out to Shoreline Community Middle School.

Thats all for now folks! Its game time! Were so close to the end so yes, students
will be tired, and yes, they will want to play outside in this lovely sun instead of
coming to yet another rehearsal, and yes they will have Spring sports start to
coincide, but they have worked SO hard for SO long, and it is time to see that work
pay off in our full-scale production of The Lion King, Jr 2017!!!

As always, please feel free to email toreilly@sd61.bc.ca or phone 250.386.8367 if

you have any questions, comments, concerns, or compliments.

Merci,

Mme. Tamara OReilly
