DRESS REHEARSAL INFORMATION
(For Junior thru Advanced Level Classes)
REHEARSAL INFORMATION
On Friday, June 2, 2023, PDA will be holding our dress rehearsal for all junior - advanced level classes at the Stranahan Theater. This will give the dancers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the venue, rehearse their numbers on the stage, and practice their costume changes (if they have more than one number). For PDA’s staff, it is our opportunity to set the curtains, sound, and lights. Dress rehearsals are also an opportunity for parents to practice stage hair & makeup and familiarize themselves with the venue, its location, and drive time.
Our 2023 Dress Rehearsal is divided into two sections. The numbers performing in the first half of the show will arrive at 9:30am and rehearse 10:00am-12:30pm. Dancers performing in numbers in the second half of the show will arrive at 1:00pm and rehearse 1:30-4:00pm. You will find the rehearsal schedule at the bottom of this page.
The first thing that happens is dancers will be directed or escorted to their dressing room and organize their belongings. Dancers with fast changes (they will know who they are) will set their costumes on the proper side of the stage. At 9:50am (or 1:20pm for the second half of the show time slot) all dancers should proceed to the auditorium where dancers in the same numbers will group together. At 10:00am (or 1:30pm for the second half of the show) we will start our rehearsal with a walk through (marking spots and moving through formations). After the walk through dancers will change into the first costume that they will be performing in. Then we will begin our run through in full costume.
When they aren't on stage themselves, dancers use the dress rehearsal as an opportunity to see the show. They will quietly sit in the audience (learning audience etiquette is a great thing!), get to see and support their fellow dancers as they perform, and be a great “practice” audience clapping for their friends when they are not on stage!
ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL TIMES Again, our 2023 Dress Rehearsal is divided into two sections. The numbers performing in the first half of the show will arrive at 9:30am and rehearse 10:00am-12:30pm. Dancers performing in numbers in the second half of the show will arrive at 1:00pm and rehearse 1:30-4:00pm. You can find the rehearsal schedule below.
DROP OFF/PICK UP INFORMATION For both the dress rehearsal and performance day, when you arrive at the Stranahan, after parking, you should take your dancer to the backstage door (in the rear of the building). When you arrive at the backstage entrance a PDA staff member or volunteer will be waiting to check your dancer in and someone will direct you and your dancer to their dressing room. If your dancer is old enough (sixth grade and above), then you may drop them off at the backstage door after getting them checked in. Pick-up is the reverse of drop off. Parents must pickup dancers and dancers must leave via the backstage door.
WHAT TO WEAR Dancers should arrive to dress rehearsal in comfortable street clothes that they can move in (a t-shirt and leggings, for example) with their stage hair, and makeup done. All female dancers should wear their hair in a low parted bun. Please visit PDA's website for information on stage hair and performance makeup here www.perrysburgdance.com/hair-and-make-up
WHAT TO BRING Dancers should bring their costumes, accessories, and dance shoes with them to dress rehearsal. Dancers with more than one number should bring all of their costumes, accessories, and shoes. All dancers should bring a water bottle—only clear water, please (we don’t want anyone staining their costumes). PLEASE LABEL ALL OF YOUR DANCER’S BELONGINGS and DO NOT FORGET THEIR DANCE SHOES!
INFORMATION FOR DANCERS THERE ALL DAY Dancers in both the first and second half of the show will have a lunch break (12:30-1:30pm) and should plan accordingly. They should definitely bring a sack lunch with them!
A message about food…
Drinks and food are prohibited on stage, backstage, and in the auditorium; however, dancers are allowed to have bottles of plain, clear water and “clean” (as in not messy), healthy food and snacks in their dressing rooms. Please avoid sending greasy, messy, or overly pungent food choices, and remind your dancer that they should NEVER eat while wearing their costumes.
Where should I go while my dancer is rehearsing?
If you have volunteered for either show you may remain at The Stranahan during the dress rehearsal in order to familiarize yourself with the duties of the job you have been assigned. All others, your dancer will be with us for several hours. Please feel free to enjoy some time for yourself, but be sure to return at the pick up time stated.
