We Seize’d Day 1!

What a phenomenal first day. We are so excited for this show! Mr. Justus and I are amazed by this cast’s abilities already. This show will not be one to miss!

Homework tonight:

  • Watch Newsies! 

    • If you have Disney + you can find the official Broadway version on there. The 1992 version is available as well but for the show purpose we think watching the stage production is best. I’m sure if you check YouTube you can find stuff as well.

  • Practice what was learned today and start memorizing all your lines & singing parts. Your children are required to be off book by next Monday for lines and songs. If they can be sooner even better! 

  • Stretch before bed. These days will be long and today was already a big physical day.

  • A hot water with lemon juice and honey or even throat coat tea will be so good for your kids vocal cords over the next 3 days. 

Costuming information for your children’s roles will go out tomorrow. 

During pick up, please make sure that you sign your child out. I know I had a couple students run out to parents cars while I was talking to other parents, but it is our safety policy and that way we can also verbally check in with each parent at the end of the day. 

Things we are still in need of:

Tons of Newspapers and by rare chance if you have 3 sheets of 11/32 in x 4ft x 8ft plywood laying around or want to donate it to us let us know, we’ll take it! 

Also if any of our handy or artistic parents want to help with painting or drilling wood or PVC  pipes into wood for us this weekend let us know! We want to finish all set pieces before Monday. 

We have quite a few set pieces and we are looking for parents who have any trucks and/or trailers that can help transporting sets to and from the venue.

See you all tomorrow! Do a script check in the AM before you leave!
