Hello Theatre Parents!
It’s November, and we have plenty of exciting updates for you this month!
1. **Class Fees:**
If your child is in Theatre I-III or Tech I-II and you haven’t done so yet, please ensure your student’s class fees are paid. Cash or checks (made out to “Grissom Theatre”) can be placed in the payment box in the theatre classroom. You can also pay via PayPal at the link provided here.
Account balances were sent home with your student last week. You can also email us at grissomtheatretreasurer@gmail.com to request your Student’s balance.
2. **Additional Fees:**
If your child has additional fees for Trumbauer, BCPE, or the Spring Musical, they will be included in their Account Balance statement. As mentioned above, contact our treasurer gmail account to request your Student’s balance if needed. Trumbauer fees are due this coming Friday, November 22nd!
3. **Geranium Fundraiser for Musical Students:**
In February, we will have our last Fundraiser for students in the Spring Musical Little Shop of Horrors! We’ll have more information about this in December, so be on the lookout!
4. **Rehearsal Schedules:**
For those involved in the One-Act play Badger or our Christmas show The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (BCPE), check the Calendar page on our website for updated rehearsal schedules. You can easily add these events to your personal calendar by using the “+” buttons on the page.
Don’t forget - if your child is going to miss a rehearsal for any reason, please send Ms. Skillern an email to make sure she knows!
5. **BCPE T Shirts:**
We are having a Flash Sale on T-Shirts for BCPE. Parents, you can get one, too! They are available for $20. Fill out the order form here, and pay by THURSDAY!! You can pay via check, cash, or PayPal.
6. **Parent Page Access:**
If you haven’t yet, visit our website and request access to the parent pages. Make sure we can quickly identify you with your theatre student to grant access! These pages are your go-to for essential updates, rehearsal schedules, and involvement opportunities.
7. **2025-26 School Schedule:**
The school system is in discussions to potentially move to a 4x4 block schedule next year. This could be a disastrous schedule for students in our Fine Arts programs (band, theatre, choir, dance), not to mention students who take languages and math classes that build off of prerequisites. See this attachment from our Choir Director, Tucker Ratcliff, to see what this is about and what you can do.
8. **Previous Emails:**
If you feel like you’ve missed a detail or an email somewhere along the way, be sure to check out the blog on our website for previous emails and information that has been sent out!
That’s all for this month! Thanks for your continued support of Grissom Theatre – we couldn’t do it without you!
Theatrically,
