Parent Update: Beauty and the Beast

Good Afternoon Everyone!
We are getting closer and closer to opening night and it is wonderful to see things starting to come together!  The work completed at yesterday’s workday was significant and will lead to lots more finished products this coming week.
There are a few quick things I want to bring to your attention.

1. PARENT ADS - If you have talked with me about a parent ad for the program, or you have been thinking about it and want to do a parent ad, please reach out to me this week.  We need to reserve your space in the playbill and see if you need any assistance from us in creating your ad.  Remember, parent ads are half the price of business ads.  Full page is $75, half is $50, and business card is $25.
2. SPONSOR/AD DRIVE - Our sponsor/advertisement drive has been lower than normal again this year.  If you have any connections to businesses or organizations that might be interested in partnering with us this year, please consider making a contact.  All of the sponsor/ad information can be found at eastlincolnonstage.org/sponsor and I am always available to answer any questions from potential partners.
3. REHEARSALS - After losing a week of rehearsal to snow, we will be extending our regular rehearsal to 6:30 pm from here on.  We have 2 more weeks of regular rehearsals before we begin tech week and production week.
4. ATTENDANCE - I would ask that you please help me make sure the actors are at rehearsal if at all possible.  Because of the current time frame, missing a rehearsal could mean that you are left out one or more scenes.  We simply don’t have the time to go back and adjust and reteach.
5. UNDERSTUDIES - In the same vein, please be aware that all leads have an understudy to go on for them if needed.  This is primarily a health precaution, but missing rehearsals in these last few weeks could necessitate being replaced by an understudy.
6. PUBLICITY - We need all the help we can get publicizing both the show and Lumiere’s Palace Party.  We have posts going out every day on social media.  Posts that go out during the day are promotional posts, and the ones that go out at night are “meet the cast/crew.”  If you have not followed us on social media, please do and help us share these posts far and wide.  If you are able to put up a flyer in a high traffic area, please let me know and I will be glad to get them for you.

7. TICKETS - There are currently tickets available for all performances.
8. T-SHIRTS - Promo shirts and show shirts are now available.  I have a limited number of promotional shirts available for sale (Adult Small through 3X.)  These are the same shirts the cast members received.  These shirts are a great way to promote the upcoming show.  The show shirts are also available.  These are the shirts with the cast list on the back.  You are welcome to purchase those in advance of opening night to ensure you get the sizes you want.  These shirts are available in Youth Small through Adult 3X.  All sizes up to XL are $10 and larger sizes are $1 more per X.  Below are the designs.  Let me know if you are interested.

Thank you for all the encouragement you are giving to your children.  This is going to be a great show and I think the community is going to LOVE IT!​
