Curtain Call - End of Week 3

Happy Thursday!

We have finished our third week of Curtain Call! This means that all we have left is to prepare for our performances next week, where Curtain Callers will get to show you all of the hard work they’ve put into the show this year. 

We will be having one more theme day this year next Thursday. We encourage the kids to dress up, but to be sure to continue to wear proper footwear (sneakers to dance in), and keep accessories to a minimum as they can be distracting during classes. 

• Thursday (7/24)  will be Color Day (each kid should wear the color of their group-AKA the color of their nametag and t-shirt, but please do not wear your show shirt from this year). 

We will also be performing some of our whole-group production numbers at Peppermint Days this Saturday, July 19th! All curtain callers are welcome to come and participate. We will be performing at 10:00 AM in front of the courthouse in Lyons. Call time will be 9:30 to set up! We will start meeting in the parking lot to the left of the courthouse.  All Curtain Callers must come with a parent/guardian and must be checked in/out before and after our performance. We are doing this to ensure the safety of all of our kiddos here at Curtain Call. Upon arrival, please see Seth Nesbitt or Emery Taylor to check in! Also, campers are encouraged to wear past Curtain Call shirts if they have them, or plain colored shirts.

We will be having our performances on Wednesday, 7/23, and Thursday, 7/24 @ 7:00 PM in the Lyons High School auditorium. We will be giving each student two (2) complimentary tickets. These tickets may be used on either night. Complimentary tickets can be received by submitting our Complimentary Ticket Order Form (can be found on our website). If you would like to receive more than two tickets, adult tickets can be purchased for $5, and student and senior citizen tickets for $3. Please turn in ticket payment in a clearly labeled envelope with the ticket form. Checks are made payable to Curtain Call. All ticket orders, Complimentary and Extra (paid) tickets MUST be submitted by Monday, July 21st by 12:30 PM. Any submissions/orders after that time will not be accepted and returned to you. 

Unsold tickets (if any) will be available at the door on the evenings of the performances. 

Everyone will be bringing home their t-shirts and tickets on Tuesday, 7/22 so that they have them in time for the performances!

Curtain Call 2025: Week 2 Reminders

Happy Thursday!

We are finishing our second week of Curtain Call…  which means we are about halfway done! By the end of Week 3, Curtain Callers will have learned all the material for the upcoming performance! We are so thrilled to be back in the swing of Curtain Call and to be making music again!

We will be having theme days each Thursday this year. We encourage the kids to dress up, but to be sure to continue to wear proper footwear (sneakers to dance in), and keep accessories to a minimum as they can be distracting during classes. The theme days will be:

• Today (7/10) was Tropical Day, and we encouraged students to wear tropical shirts. 

• Next Thursday (7/17) will be Show Shirt Day (if your child doesn’t have a show shirt, they can use a camp shirt, a past Curtain Call shirt, or any other event shirt). 

• The last Thursday (7/24)  will be Color Day (each kid should wear the color of their group). 

We will also be performing some of our whole-group production numbers at Peppermint Days this year on Saturday, July 19th! All Curtain Callers are welcome to come and participate. We will be performing at 10:00 AM in front of the courthouse in Lyons. Call time will be 9:45 to set up! More reminders and information will be following in the coming week.

We will be having our performances on Wednesday, 7/23, and Thursday, 7/24 @ 7:00 PM in the Lyons High School auditorium. Each student receives two (2) complimentary tickets. These tickets may be used on either night, and can be split up. To receive your complimentary tickets, please fill out our Complimentary Ticket Form (online only). 

If you would like to receive more than the two complimentary tickets, we will be sending home a paper ticket form next week. Adult tickets can be purchased for $5, and student and senior citizen tickets for $3. Please turn in ticket payment in a clearly labeled envelope with the ticket form. Checks are made payable to Curtain Call. Complimentary tickets will be honored first, and tickets orders will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.

Curtain Call: Week 1 Reminders

Hello Everyone!

Week one of Curtain Call is officially completed! We are coming a long way and cannot wait to showcase all of our hard work at the performances in a couple of weeks! With our elective courses starting next week, it will be so fun to offer opportunities for camper growth outside of the dance, drama, and voice class areas! These include introductions to mindfulness, voice technique and song-writing, behind-the-scenes of productions, stageography, team building, and much more! 

Lastly, we just have a couple of reminders as we approach next week: 

• Payment: All payment was due this week, however, if you still have not paid, we need your dues immediately. We will be contacting you by Tuesday of next week if we have not received payment from you.

• Hygiene: Please ensure that your child is practicing good hygiene, including using deodorant. It gets warm and humid in some of our practice spaces, so this is important!

• What to bring?: As a reminder, please have your student bring a water bottle each day to stay hydrated, as we are often active throughout our time together. We also ask that students wear sneakers or comfortable closed-toe shoes since we move around a lot during activities. Finally, please send your student with a snack for snack time so they can stay energized and focused throughout the day. 

  • Water: Please remember to send your child to camp each day with a water bottle only. If your child is dropped off with a coffee, fruity drink, or other beverages, we kindly ask that they finish it before entering the auditorium in the morning. We are not allowed to have drinks besides water in the Auditorium or Gym per school rules. This helps us prevent spills, protect equipment, and keep everyone focused and ready to start the day!

  • Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep the rehearsal space safe, clean, and distraction-free for all campers!

• Tickets: Our performances this year are taking place on Wednesday, July 23rd, and Thursday, July 24th at 7:00 PM in the Lyons MS/HS Auditorium. We will be giving each student two (2) complimentary tickets. These tickets may be used on one night, or split up between the two nights. Keep in mind that two is the total number of complimentary tickets that each student will receive – NOT two per night. Attached to this email is the link to secure your complimentary tickets. This will be due by the end of next week (Thursday, July 10th). 

  • Link to the Complimentary Ticket form: https://forms.gle/oJNT9gjXob8Tv9jN6 

• Please be sure to actively check your email for updates and additional ticket information. Monday, July 14th we will be sending out a separate link to purchase additional tickets for our shows!

• Reminders: All emails and communications that are sent home to parents will be sent through our email, uploaded to our website under the Remind Updates tab, and a paper copy will be given to each student. 

Thank you all for your support and, as always, reach out if you have any questions/concerns. Have a great long weekend!
