You CAN do this!! Your peers are depending on you.  ⭐️ It may seem overwhelming and I’m here to help, ask me, or ask a parent for tips on memorizing your lines!! You can do this, I KNOW you can!! But you’ve got to put in the effort. Do a little every day instead of putting it off. Cramming your lines later won’t help you retain them as well and you lose the opportunity to create your character when you haven’t learned your lines. ⭐️    IT IS ONLY  AFTER   THE MEMORIZATION   THAT  ...

 Hey! Did you know that you SHOULD NOT cut or   color your hair when you are in a show? 💇‍♀️💇💇🏾‍♀️💇🏾‍♀️💇🏼‍♀️💇🏽💇🏼💇🏻‍♂️ A trim is fine! But a MAJOR hair change must be approved by the director when you are in a show!!!!!!!  Can I trim my hair? Yes Can I add subtle highlights? Sure! Can I shave my head? NO!  Do you know why this is important? When you are given a role in a show the director probably  considered certain physical features you have when they selected you for your part. Sooo PLEASE no major changes without permission!! That doesn’t mean you can’t make any changes. Just check with your director first to make sure the changes still fit with your character. 💇‍♀️💇💇🏾‍♀️💇🏾‍♀️💇🏼‍♀️💇🏽💇🏼💇🏻‍♂️ Now some of you like the dad and the firemen, the Reverend and any of the boys that aren’t Herdmans please keep a nice tidy haircut . At least have a nice tidy haircut by the time we run our show!! And if you have questions just ask the Direct...

Reminder about memorizing lines: 1. When we meet this week your lines should be memorized.   2.

This includes: 1. What clothes does your character need to wear to look like your character? What your character wears needs to reflect who they are. IE. What Alice wears will be very different from what Imogene wears.  Your assignment is to make a plan for what your character will be wearing, write it out on a piece of paper or sketch it out and show me on Thursday.  Start gathering items of clothing you have at home that you can use. If there’s something you need but don’t have check with other Vanguard students. 2. What props does your character need? If you’re one of the gossipy ladies you need access to an old cell phone. Because you ladie...
