Publicity

I have some very concerned parents that wondered if we did not market the play good enough to the public-thus we did not have full houses for Charlie Brown. As noted The Independence Reporter did an article and a picture for us Thursday night of opening. Jill Koslosky took a cast photo Tuesday of tech and Lisa sent the story into the Coffeyville Journal on Wednesday (She also sent me what she sent to the Journal) I do not control what the Journal puts in the newspaper-I am very sorry they did not cover CCST-I just want to let you know the problem was not on our end. CCC has an excellent marketing department and we did all we could. I think those that are interested in voicing your concerns of no coverage of the children's play can call the Journal or e-mail them at Editor" Hope this helps clear up this matter-Thanks.

Costume notes

Great opening night! Once again you showed your audience what summer theatre is all about...determination, hard work, talent, and FUN!

Overall your costumes looked great. Just a reminder that ALL CHORUS MEMBERS and Woodstocks wear shirts tucked in at all times. Older cast members, please help with this.

Also, some of you are still wearing some jewelry. It is distracting and can be dangerous on stage, so please remember to remove all jewelry (including friendship bracelets) before each show.

Thanks for making our job so much easier...break a leg tonight!

Lynn and Alicia

Thank you!

Last minute hair and costume notes

Please read the notes for your character(s), and BE READY when you come to rehearsal Wednesday night and to each performance! (Parents, we suggest that you discuss these notes with your actors who are too young to read/understand them. Thank you.) Remember that you may not bring any food or drink, except water, to rehearsals or performances. It is important to protect your costumes from spills and stains.

Except for Sally and Lucy, there will not be anyone backstage to do your hair for you, so it is very important that you come to each dress rehearsal and performance with your hair already done according to these notes. Please be sure that your hair is secured (use gel, clips, hairpins, etc.) so that it will stay out of your face for the entire performance. Everyone should bring his/her own clips, hairpins, hairbrush or comb. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THESE ITEMS!! IMPORTANT: Please be sure your name is on EVERYTHING that you bring to the theatre.

No one will wear any makeup other than what you ordinarily wear.

Male characters, please wear your hair the way you ordinarily do unless you have been instructed otherwise.

Female chorus characters with long enough hair should wear it out of your face and in pigtails, braids, or ponytails...no one should wear hair down. If your hair is short, just wear it the way you ordinarily do...just be sure it is out of your face. Also all female characters who are wearing the denim skirts MUST wear shorts or leggings under them, even if you are wearing colored tights. The skirts are very short, especially from the audience's view.

Woodstock and Bird Friends should have come home with a bag of yellow feathers and a note about hair. Please wear your hair in one or two high buns, and then stick the feathers in and around the bun(s). Woodstocks need to wear buns a little lower to allow for the Farmer McGregor hat. We will have extra yellow feathers available in the dressing rooms.

Every actor except Snoopy and Charlie Brown should be wearing black shoes. Please see prior costume notes if you have any questions about this.

It was VERY HOT in the Theatre today, but everyone looked great in their costumes on stage. Thanks to all actors and parents for participating in the important job of costuming the show.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call one of us.
