And DramaDaddies, and graduated Knaves too :)
Our productions rely on the involvement of parents. Every family volunteers some time and talents at an average of 15-20 hours during rehearsals and helps out at the performances. All rehearsals have at least one other adult assisting. Parents do not direct, but they will remind students of my direction with the help of the binder put together for their use. We make the most efficient use of precious rehearsal time when more than one group of actors can work on scenes at the same time.
Weekly Knaves Knotes are emailed and parents and cast members must keep themselves updated on the assignments in them. Line memorization is expected to be done outside of rehearsals. Parents, verify that your student(s) are making adequate progress to be fully memorized by off-book dates or sooner.
Program fees cover the venue rental, scripts, troupe t-shirts and the bulk of the costuming. (See the notes under costumes about footwear and glasses.)
There will be a pre-auditions parent meeting at 5:30pm, October 29th, at St Paul's Free Lutheran Church. We meet this far in advance of auditions to block out dates before other commitments creep in. Please send me any questions you have to quanbeck91@gmail.com beforehand so that I can come prepared with as many answers as possible.
