Good Morning, 
Below is a schedule for rehearsals and performances beginning Monday, October 25.  Please let me know if you have any questions or see any errors.

Good Evening Island Families, 
I want to share a few quick notes and send out a few calls for help ahead our next couple of busy weeks.  
DINNER WITH DONNA TOMORROW NIGHT!

• We have 15 tickets remaining for tomorrow night's Dinner With Donna at Safari Miles.  Please share this information with any friends or family members who might enjoy a little island party with some energetic actors.  Tickets will remain on sale until they are gone or until the event begins at 6:30 pm.
• I have asked the cast and crew to wear their beach attire for tomorrow night's event.  I will be providing a small chicken tenders meal for those cast and crew members not participating in the greek meal.  
• Students have been asked to make arrangements to get from the high school to Safari Miles after rehearsal.  I am poling them tonight to confirm that everyone is situated.  Rehearsal will end at 5:30, and the students will be able to eat at the restaurant at 6 before the event begins at 6:30.  
• I anticipate the event to be finished by 8 pm. 

HELP IS ON THE WAY!

• Next week, we begin tech week and our most intense rehearsal schedule.  During this time, we ask parents and parent teams to consider providing a meal for the cast.  This keeps us from losing valuable rehearsal time and keeps the kids from having to leave the campus.  We also do meals on school days where there is a night time performance.  Please check out the sign-up genius link below if you are able to help out.

• We also ask for a little help from our friends at performances.  If possible, I like to have one person working the box office (opening 1 hour prior to show time,) and 1 person to work concessions and merchandise.  These shifts begin one hour prior to show time and conclude following intermission.  If you are able to help with one or more of these shifts, please use the sign-up link below.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks in advance for you help and patience over the next few weeks!

Hello Everyone!

This is definitely a late first update, but it has been quite challenging to get information from all of the students this year.   If you requested email updates, you will receive these updates in your email each time they are published.  If you requested text updates, you will receive a link to this web address each time a new update is posted.  If you would like to change formats at any time, let me know and I will be glad to adjust.  The most important thing is that you know you can always visit this site for the most recent parent updates.  You can navigate through the top left menu, or you can navigate straight to the page at www.EastLincolnOnStage.org/parents.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE DAY
Lincoln County Schools will be having Parent Teacher Conferences next week on Wednesday, October 6.  These conferences are not required, but are available to you in person or virtually.  My conference window will be from 11 am to 6 pm.  If your schedule does not work with this timeline, please let me know and we can certainly schedule a mutually convenient time. 

To ensure that everyone is able to have a meaningful conference time. we have been asked to schedule our conferences and avoid drop-in situations.  To schedule your conference time, please use the sign-up button below.  All in-person conferences will be held in room 302, which is the chorus and theatre rehearsal room.  All virtual conferences will be held through Google Meet and those links will be sent to your email prior to your conference time.  If you have any questions about Parent Teacher Conference Day, please let me know.

FALL CHORAL CONCERT
Our fall concert will be held in the Black Box Theater on Monday, October 18 at 7 pm.  All chorus and show choir students will be participating in this concert.  Please make plans to join us as we celebrate the students' work from the first half of the semester.

MAMMA MIA!
Tickets are now on sale for the fall production of Mamma Mia!  Performances will be held on November 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12 at 7 pm, and November 7 and 13 at 2 pm.   Adult tickets are $10 and student tickets are $7.  Tickets can be purchased in room 302 or online at www.EastLincolnOnStage.org/tickets.  Season tickets are also on sale if you are interested in attending all of our productions this season.

ALL TOGETHER NOW!
The East Lincoln Show Choir will be performing the All Together Now! music review on November 13 through 15.  This review has been offered to theatrical groups all over the world to use as a fundraiser helping programs recover from the events of the last year and a half.  This event will bring together some of the all-time favorite musical numbers from Broadway and we hope you will go ahead and make plans to attend.  This production is included with season tickets, but individual tickets can also be purchased at www.EastLincolnOnStage.org/tickets.  

I look forward to talking with many of you next week during conferences and I hope you will keep an eye out for emails and text messages providing more information as we continue to move through the semester.  Thank you for allowing your child to participate in our programs!  I am very glad to have them!

My best, 
Mr. F
