🎭 Wednesday Performance Information 5/6/26 – for Weehawken's Cinderella

 

📅 OPENING NIGHT!

Show 1: Wednesday, May 6 at 6 pm

Location: Montrose Pavilion

*Performances are split cast. Please review your dancer’s dress rehearsal and performance details in the personalized email from Lexi (lexi@weehawkenarts.org). If you can’t find it, please check your spam/junk folder.

*Parent Visitation Week (April 20-April 24) is a great time to connect with teachers and clarify any logistics. Most costumes will be sent home with dancers during that week.

NOTES REGARDING WEDNESDAY SPECIFICALLY

  • There is no dress rehearsal prior to the performance on this day; this show group completed dress rehearsal on Monday.
  • Most performers in this show do not perform again until Friday. Because of this, please clean up all costumes and accessories and take them home with you on Wednesday. Another cast performs on Thursday, and we want to avoid items getting mixed up.

  • Call Time – Act 1: 5:30–5:45 pm (unless you have an earlier call time)
  • Call Time – Act 2: By or before 7:00 pm 
    • Aerial: be backstage at the start of intermission—don’t wait. This will move fast.
  • No one is needed before 5:00 pm unless you have an early call time or if a parent is volunteering for an earlier shift.
  • Volunteers supervising children will be available starting at 5:00 pm. Until then, all students should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

QUICK REMINDERS (ALL PERFORMANCES):

  • Hair & stage makeup complete; arrive in costume with a robe covering it.
  • Reminder: No nail polish or jewelry, except stud earrings.
  • Posed photos are welcome in the lobby. No posed photos on stage before the show.
  • Drop-off/pick-up only before the show, during intermission, or after the performance.
  • If your student sits in the audience during the act they are not performing, a ticketed seat is required and they should remain in a robe.

DRESSING ROOM ETIQUETTE:

  • Dancers may not leave until their dressing room is cleaned and they are approved to leave by the Dressing Room Supervisor. Consider this when making post-show dinner plans. Most of this cast will not be performing again until Friday.

Sunday Clean-Up Assistance for performers in multiple casts & leads:

  • Please plan to stay after the final show to help with set striking, checking-in/sorting costumes, picking up trash, and loading trucks. Your help, even if just 30 minutes, is valuable.
  • MANDATORY: Leads and upper-level students must assist with clean-up and should report directly to Natasha for task assignments.

SHOW ORDER & TECH NOTES

Curious about the show order? Click the green button below!

Note: These notes are mostly for our teachers and production team — but we know some of you love a good plan, so you’re welcome to take a peek!

HOW TO READ THE SHOW ORDER NOTES

  • Track #: The order of each dance within the act (music track number).
  • Time 1: The length of the music track used in the show
    (Example: 2:01 = total song length)
  • Time 2: How far into the act the dance appears
    (Example: 20 = approximately 20 minutes into the act)
    This represents the approximate timestamp if the act were to run straight through without pauses.
    During dress rehearsals, we often stop to adjust spacing, lighting, and transitions — these times simply help us stay organized backstage.
  • Title: The name of the dance or scene.
  • Music Link: The song used for the piece. You can download the music here to practice at home.
  • Cast & Dancers: The character or class, followed by the names of the performers.
  • Prep: What is needed for the dance in the hallway prep area. Miss Lexi organizes this — these are notes for our team.
  • Costume Changes & Quick Changes: This information will be added in the coming weeks. Miss Lexi organizes this.
