The Importance of Being Earnest

The La Salle Play is this Thursday. Please drop your students off at La Salle in the lower parking lot at 3:15. I know Jr. High may be more like 3:25 since they get out later. The show starts at 3:30 and I want to make sure no one arrives late.

I spoke to the director and he believes the performance will be over aroun 6:15. You can pick your children up in the same parking lot.

Don't forget we do have rehearsals next week and they are mandatory!

Rehearsals

After looking over the script and trying to come up with an easy way to schedule rehearsals I have decided it is easiest if every rehearsal is all cast. Please be aware that we only have 6 rehearsals before the week of the show. I did not schedule a rehearsal on the week of Thanksgiving because I didn't put it in the contract.  We are on a very tight schedule so I need everyone there at all times. As always email me with any questions or problems.

Rehearsal

You will recieve your scripts at rehearsal today. We will be doing a read through. Please remember there will not be rehearsal tomorrow and I am trying my hardest to get the schedule out to you sometime tonight.

I haven't been very good at checking my drama club email so please email me at my nramirez@stphiliptheapostle.org. Suddenly I have too many emails to keep track of so I think using the SP email is best.

Costumes

Ok, here are costume ideas for those who need them.

Grand Hommes: The only ones who need costumes are the people playing male characters this includes Daniel. They should be in all white. Think island casual and at play. These men don't really work. Linen pants and shirts would work perfectly. I do want them in shoes so think loafers.

Female Grand Hommes should wear character type shoes but they can get them in colors to match their dresses. In other words they don't have to be character shoes but I do want them in that style.

Here is a picture of a group of Grand Hommes.



Peasants/Villagers: Again it is really the the people playing male characters that need to provide their own costumes. I also want breezy island clothing for the males but these should be colorful or earthy. Loose top and pants/long shorts. Male and female will be barefoot.

Here are some pictures of peasants.
.




I am on the hunt for similar dresses for Little Ti Moune and Ti Moune as well as dresses for the storytellers. So stay tuned.

Erzulie and Asaka have partial costumes already. I discussed with them and asked them to get matching legging for their tops. I will be making them headdresses. They may get creative with footwear.

Papa Ge and  Agwe have also discussed with me. They want to wear the same linen or island type clothes as the other male characters. Agwe should be in white and Papa Ge in Black. To distinguish them they will need a colored scarf, blue for Agwe and red for Papa Ge. I will make them headdresses also.

Please email me with any questions!
