BACKSTAGE BEHAVIOR
  Everyone backstage and in the dressing rooms during rehearsal and performances must remain calm and quiet at all times.  Children who are overexcited do not perform well and noise does carry from the backstage area into all other parts of the theater.  Nothing is more distracting to the dancers onstage and the audience than commotion backstage.  All parents and older students are asked to please help keep the backstage area and dressing rooms as calm and quiet as possible. 0043 Games that make no noise and other "keep busy" items are recommended and a large video monitor is available backstage where parents and students may sit and watch the recital live.
  The Lutcher Theater does not allow food or drink backstage.
 

VIDEOS AND PHOTOGRAPHS
  King's Way Video will be videotaping recital this year.  They will be taking orders for videos of this year's recital, as well as past recitals, during rehearsal and during both performances.  You may videotape recital yourself as long as you REMAIN SEATED and DO NOT use tripods or extension cords.

  Gunn's Photography will be available backstage during rehearsal to take photos of dancers in costume. 
They are offering special package deals.  Flyers with the details will be available at the studio.

  With concern for the concentration and safety of the dancers onstage, flash photography is strictly forbidden during the performances.
 
 

TICKETS
  Tickets for recital will be given out  Saturday, April 26 from  1:00* pm to 3:00 pm  at the studio.  Each family will receive a total of twelve (12) tickets randomly drawn in sets of four (4) downstairs and two (2) upstairs for Saturday,  and four (4) downstairs and two (2) upstairs for Sunday.  Some extra tickets will be available in the upper balcony for both performances.  Please call Jeanette Boehme at 883-4021 anytime before recital or ask for them at the door.  If you find that you have more tickets than you plan on using, please return the extras to the studio anytime before the recital or return them at the theater door. 

  Before coming to pick up your tickets, please give some consideration to the following questions:

  1.  "Wheelchair  space"  -  will you need space for someone to sit in a wheelchair?    Which day?

  2.  "Lap tickets"  -  will you be holding a baby or small child on your lap?    How many?    Which day?

 If you have any questions concerning tickets, please call Jeanette Boehme at 883-4021.  If no answer, please leave a message.  Your call will be returned.

   * Because the tickets will be drawn randomly by you, there is no need to come early and line up to be "the first"  to draw.  The last person to draw is just as likely to get the best tickets as the first person is and everybody is guaranteed the same amount of tickets downstairs and upstairs for each performance. 

  If you are unable to  pick up your tickets at this time,  you may make arrangements for someone other than yourself to pick up your tickets.  If no one comes for your tickets, your downstairs tickets only will be drawn for you and placed in an envelope at the studio where you may pick them up at any time during normal studio hours. 0494 If no one comes for your tickets, upstairs tickets will not be drawn for you unless you call and request them.
 

PROGRAM PROOFING
 A draft copy of the program will be posted at the studio.  Please check your name for the correct spelling and placement.  Let someone know immediately if there is a mistake.
