2018 Musical Information

Sunnyside Environmental School Musical 2018 
FAQ/Important Information 


1. Synopsis: This year, our musical will be a story about superheroes attending the International Superhero Convention. At the convention, our heroes and those in training, will attend special breakout sessions, hear a keynote speaker, attend a job fair, and work together to remake the world the best way they know how! Each child will be able to create and become their very own superhero character!
An outline of the script will be provided to students who will then be able to choose and research their own characters and create dialogue within the storyline.

5. What to expect in rehearsals: Younger children will need to be escorted to the auditorium after school. Students are not allowed to eat in the auditorium. Please help them to eat snacks in the hallway or outside and be ready for rehearsal at 3:15 pm. Students will take a short break around 4:10 pm. If you are able to attend or arrange for another parent to attend rehearsal with your little one (Kindergarten or first grade) that would be very helpful, otherwise, please send them with books to read or things to draw/color.

6. Volunteer positions: This show is much more than just a school play. This is a school-wide, community building, creative opportunity for all of us! Please consider sharing this experience with your child by helping out in some way. We need YOU to help make this musical a success! If you are available during rehearsals, great! If not, we need plenty of help behind the scenes and at performance time.

7. Lab fee: SES is asking for a $50 lab fee from each student involved in the production. This money is directly used as part of the budget, and pays for things such as costumes, sets, lights and lighting equipment, props, hair and makeup supplies, snacks and other expenses that come up in the process of putting on a play. Please make checks payable to SES PTA or Sunnyside PTA. Please leave cash or checks in an envelope labeled with your child’s name on it in the SES Musical Lab Fee Envelope in the main office clearly labeled with the student's name. If you are unable to pay this fee, please contact Caitlin. No student will be turned away!

8. Participants: All SES students are welcome! Grades K through 8th are invited. There will be a variety of parts to play in the musical. We will also need students to help behind the scenes. You don't have to be IN the play to help out with the play
