St. Jude's Academy Dramatic Achievements and Experiences

Parents, please be sure to read the side bar as it will contain important information about costumes, props, and theatre etiquiette.

There are also age appropriate poems that you could ask your child to learn to say aloud. This helps with reading fluency, memory enhancement, elocution, and comprehension.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is imperative that you advise your child's teacher if he or she will be away for the fundraising gala dinner: Valentines in Venice.

The children are all preparing a production and roles have been assigned. I am also working on a program and including some names.

If you know you will be away, this must be conveyed ASAP! It is very late in the game to expect other children to pick up your child's parts.

Many thanks for your understanding that we are working hard to create an entertaining theatrical production for parents, families, and friends.

JK's - costumes are to be cute and ready for Valentine's Day

SK's - costumes are to be cute and ready for Valentine's Day
The following children will need something slightly different: Alejandra, Shane, Noah, Rayn, and Sofia.

Grade 1's and 2's - the costumes are of the Roman era 269 A.D.
Girls are to wear white togas and ornamental head dresses
Boys are to be dressed as ROMAN soldiers; have them dress all in black with black hats
- does anyone have shields, capes, etc. something for soldiers?
Temi is a Roman Emperor
Victoria is St. Valentine
Shannon requires something light and white for a veil on her head

Grade 3's and 4's - something dressy and evening appropriate; if the entire class could coordinate something with folk or country flare, that would be great!

Grade 5's, 6's, and 7's - something long and flowing; think Victorian, Grecian, Mermaidian, ball gowns, this applies to the guys as well.
Guys - poofy shirts - like pirates please! You could wear a suit, but the poofy shirts will look better. You won't look wierd; it will enhance the play.

Many thanks! I am now assuming that everyone has learned his or her parts and we will have fluid rehearsals all week! Correct?

Regards,
Mrs. Deras
