Well, sad though it is, today is the last show, and we KNOW it's going to be the best one yet! We have a very full house, so keep up that energy and let's blow them all away!
Just a few housekeeping reminders before we get to the theatre today:
Checking out-EVERY cast member must check out with Miss Summer before leaving today. We have a special memento patch for each of you and that's the way you get them! Plus, she really wants the chance to connect, say goodbye and personally tell you what a wonderful job you did.
Gram Bags & Bio posters- Don't forget to take your gram bag when you leave. We will place everyone's bio poster with your headshot in your gram bags. Again, we don't take these back to the studios, so if you forget, they will be gone.
Strike-We will post your strike assignments in the Green Room and in the dressing rooms. EVERY cast member will be assigned a job to do for strike. You may not leave until your job is complete, so please tell your friends and family that you will join them for dinner AFTER your strike assignment is complete!
Load Out - For those who did not come to Load In remember that you are required to stay for ALL of load out, which includes returning to ENCORE studios and unloading the truck there. When we have a lot of help this goes very quickly and everyone can go have a bite or a beverage afterward to extend the fun!
Lost & Found: Please be sure to check around your/your child's dressing room station before you leave to make sure you have all your belongings. We always end up with a large quantity of socks, hairbrushes and makeup at the end of every show! We do NOT keep these items and take them back to the studios, so if you leave them here they will be gone.
Loyalty reminder- Don't forget, you have until midnight tonight to sign up for one of our Fall Mainstage shows, Matilda or The Little Mermaid and get the $75 Loyalty discount. You are only required to pay a $125 deposit now. You can enroll here and use the code Loyalty19.
Summer camps: Our summer camps start on July 8, and we still have some spots left in most of our 2-week camps, so why not join in and have even more fun this summer? You can enroll here.
Thanks to all for a wonderful Tech Week. You all made it so much fun, and we can't wait to see you all back for the next show!!

Dear Annie families:
As we have done for the past several years, we want to remind you that we value your loyalty to our program, and one way we show you is to offer you a discount if you enroll in our next Mainstage productions before the current one ends!
So, if you enroll in EITHER Matilda (our Torrance/Redondo production), or The Little Mermaid (our San Pedro production) by 11:59pm on Sunday, June 30th, you receive a discount of $75 off of your registration. You need only pay a $125 nonrefundable deposit per student to hold this price and your spot, and we will break all of the remaining fees into a payment plan over the next 5 months!
Payments depend on several factors and each plan is individualized for your family. However, here is an example: If you have just one student in your family participating, and you receive the loyalty discount, that would equal just $175 per month between now and the end of December! With 2 students, it would be $245 per month.
In order to access your discount, you must enroll online here and use the discount code Loyalty19.
Also, don't forget that our Summer Camps are starting with Legally Blonde, Jr. the week of July 8! This is an awesome show for both boys and girls and we still have room, so sign up here today!

Headshots will be taken on Saturday, June 15th. Please arrive dressed in what you wish to be photographed in. You will need to stay a little bit after or come a bit earlier than you are called for rehearsal because you cannot leave your rehearsal to have your photo taken. PLEASE do not leave until your picture has been taken. (We will have a make up day for those who have a previously-scheduled conflict this week). If you miss headshots, you will not have a photo posted in the lobby. We cannot arrange for individual headshot appointments.

Dear Annie cast and families,
The performance schedule is here!! We know you are all excited and anxious to start booking your tickets!
To clarify, EVERYONE performs in every show. If you do not see your name, do not panic, you will be playing the same part in every show.
It is time to start booking your tickets!
Please read the entire ticketing document (attached) that details the process, particularly if this is your first first time doing tickets for a mainstage show. If you are still confused after you have read the document and taken a look at the system (accessible here), please send us an email to set up a time to work through the process so we can help you.
Please be aware when you look at the ticketing site that we are HOLDING most of the best seats in the house for YOU, the cast! Consequently if you log in to purchase tickets now it will look as if everything is sold out, and what is available is not the best seats. Now that the performance schedule is released, we will continue to hold them until Friday, 5/24 at 5:00p in order to give you time to contact friends and family to let them know your shows. At that time all seats will be released and you (as well as the public) will have access to begin booking them.
The mandatory minimum tickets charge has been placed on your account now and can be paid anytime. If you wish to upgrade, let us know and we will put that charge on your account as well. Once the charge is paid and you have notified us that it is paid, we will issue your membership and send you a confirmation. Please note you cannot start redeeming your tickets until you have been issued a membership and received a confirmation email.
If not paid before May 28 the card on file will be charged and your Level C membership will be issued at that time
If you want to be ready to process as soon as the better seats are released, please make sure to process your payment immediately and let us know you have done so -- or send your email requesting an upgraded membership now so we have enough time to get everything to you to begin processing immediately when everything opens up on Friday morning.
Some clarification: Paying for your for your membership does not force you to immediately pick dates, it just gives you the ability to assign tickets when you are ready and have heard from your patrons.
We understand that the first time you process tickets it can be confusing and we want to help, but there are a lot of you and only a couple of us, so it may take a day or two before we can return your email, so please be patient.
We are SO excited for your friends and family to see this amazing show. We are proud of all the hard work you have put in and we know your friends are going to be blown away!

We are able to offer smaller productions, or have impromptu rehearsals to polish that last dance routine before tech week, and we have our offices right here where we an support the rehearsals.
However, due to our being located in this great, centrally-located area, our rent has gone up 40% (a $29,000 per year increase!) from 2 years ago, and we are now facing the possibility of losing that home, leaving us unable to provide a consistent space for our families and productions.
WE NEED TIME! — We have no way to build a 40% increase into our current revenue stream, so we need to buy some time to find Corporate Sponsors, Private Donors, and Grants that can sustain us moving forward.
