Recognition of Artistry
Our students are artists of various media. Annika Hodges is no exception! Annika Hodges, and dance and drama student at our academy, is nearly 13 years old and wrote this touching poem about how she feels about AAPAC. We hope you enjoy this poem too!
A 10 year old, sad and lonely
No place to belong
Found her place at a place
that sings its own song
Special and unique - different from the rest
A place with no competition
for sure it is the best
A place where everyone is a big family, can't you see
I found a place where I belong
I no longer have to be alone
I call this place AAPAC
I call this place home.
~Annika Hodges

Updated Handbook
We have updated our policies and student/parent handbook for the coming year. There are many changes to the policies that we will be enforcing starting this summer, so existing students, and new summer students, will need to visit the policies & handbook page and read up on the changes. ALL students will be receiving a hard copy of this handbook upon class registration.
Please read the following carefully. This important information is regarding the performance, rehearsals and costuming. Keep this somewhere safe. It is also posted on our website calendar. Thank you.
Ticket Sales for Mary Poppins - Saturday, June 19th 2 pm and 7 pm and Sunday, June 20th at 2pm.
All tickets are "reserved seating" (not general admission) sold by section, row and seat number. There are 600 seats in the theatre. Pre-sale tickets are highly recommended, and we urge you to buy tickets early to get the best seating and to avoid waiting in line the night of the show, as there is no “reserved seating” the weekend of the performance. Pre-sale tickets go on sale May 21st.
Whatever seats are left over after pre-sales will be sold at the door. For 7 pm evening performances the ticket booth will open at 6 pm and the auditorium will open at 6:30. For 2 pm matinee performances the ticket booth will open at 1 pm and the auditorium door will open at 1:30 pm. If you are buying tickets at the door, we reccommend getting there up to an hour early. Tickets are $10 for adults/kids 12+ and $6 for seniors/kids under 12. Remember, this is a benefit performance and 100% of ticket sales will cover future production costs; AAPAC does not "profit" from ticket sales!
Here is the seating chart for the theatre. You may request the section of seating and if you prefer the seats altogether when ordering tickets by phone or email.

6:50 – Take places and run the show from the top, straight through.
9:00 – Approx. end of dress rehearsal and then directors notes in auditorium.
- BRING any items that you are required to provide as part of your costume and wear them for the rehearsal!
- For those that are in multiple classes or have multiple costume changes, get dressed in your first scene costume.
- NO MAKE-UP for dress rehearsal. Costumes are NOT to go home after rehearsal!
- All students must bring a bag to keep all of their belongings in; with nearly 100 people in the show, we need to stay organized.
- Bring a water bottle with your name on it. You may bring a clean snack (nothing that drips or stains costumes!), but NO FOOD or DRINKS are allowed in the new theatre, it must remain in dressing rooms
- Write your name in all belongings (in both shoes, etc). Lost items will only be held at AAPAC for 1 month and then will be thrown out or donated to Goodwill.

· Bring a water bottle (or more) with your name on it. You may bring a clean snack to eat in dressing rooms ONLY.
· Write your name in all belongings (in both shoes, clothing etc).
· Bring your own make-up and hair supplies! It is unsanitary for make-up to be shared, and too expensive for AAPAC to provide it for everyone. I suggest coming with your hair already done.

Important Rules & Etiquette for Dress Rehearsal & Performances
Failure to adhere to these rules could result in removal from the performance and possible dismissal from AAPAC.
- All AAPAC Handbook rules and policies still apply in the theatre!
- Respect and kindness for instructors, stage managers, techies, volunteers, students, costumes, set pieces, props and facility must be shown at all times.
- Listen to the directions of ALL instructors, stage managers, techies, and volunteers. They have my permission to tell you what to do and not to do.
- There is no “I” in “Team”! We’re in this together; divas, prima donnas, arrogance, and egos are not welcome here, nor would they be welcomed back.
- NO running around the school! There are 4 places you can be: backstage, in the dressing rooms, on stage, or in a restroom.
- “If it’s not yours, don’t touch it.”
- Performers and volunteers must be quiet back stage, on the set, in the dressing rooms and in the house.
- Costumes and props are each individual’s responsibility, not the Costume Manager’s.
- Costumes must be checked in at the end of dress rehearsal and the performance before students are allowed to leave.
- Wait to be excused by the costume manager.
- Do not hand a pile of stuff to the costume manager and run out the door.
- If it came on a hanger, hang it up nicely, right side out, etc. If it came in a bag, fold it up and put it in the bag, etc.
- If we have to talk to you once about behaving, that is your final warning. The next time we will call home.
Costuming
The majority of the costuming for the show will be provided by AAPAC. However most students will be required to provide some part of their costume, such as tights or shoes, etc. Please read below for each class that you/your child are performing with to see what you will need to provide. If you don’t already have these items, I suggest visiting your favorite thrift store or our dance boutique ASAP. Please try on your items now to make sure they still fit!
Dance Students
NOTE: All ballet dancers need to have their hair in a tidy bun; no bangs or wisps of hair down! Use hair gel, hair spray, bobby pins, hair nets, etc. Tights need to be in good condition; no runs, holes, stains, etc. No jewelry, nail polish is to be worn on stage. Please do NOT wear underwear under your tights please!
Drama Students
NOTE: NO “TENNIS SHOES” are allowed on stage! They look really tacky with costumes. Please, dress shoes or dance shoes only! Boys: please have hair cut, gelled and styled so that it stays out of your eyes.
***If you have any questions or concerns, I suggest you ask me now and not the day of dress rehearsal or the performance. You may contact me on my cell phone 24/7 at 503-998-9947.
