  • Read your students Costume letter completely and make sure you understand what your student needs show week.  Have Any Questions? Please email or speak directly to the front desk. ​
  •  Provide a small laundry-type basket for your child to bring to the theater each rehearsal and show night. (marked with your Childs name). This is the best way to keep all of their belongings together and not loose track of anything. 
  • Make sure ALL your child's belongings are labeled with their name. 
  • Please have your student at the theater at least 10 minutes before their scheduled "call time"  Their call time is the time they are expected to be ready to walk on stage. Shoes on ready to go!
  • Bring all items* listed on your child's costume letter and turn them into the Costume team. The letter will state exactly what you need to bring and exactly what KU will provide. The items parents/families traditionally need to provide are the following; Shoes, Tights, and undergarments. If KU is providing a costume it will be at the theatre for you. If your student has formal wear at home, the costume letter will tell you which pieces each class needs to bring in. These items need to be turned in by picture day. (All picture day info will go out in advance.) ​
*You will be made aware of these items well in advance. It is vital we get these items the first day of rehearsal so our staff can make sure that everyone has the costuming they need and steam anything they need steamed.

Parent Show Info Cont....

HAIR AND MAKEUP–Hair, each class will have a description of how each class, needs to wear their hair for each number. Make sure your child is ready by their call time on dress rehearsals and show nights with hair curled and makeup done and styled as directed by costume sheet for your child's first number. Parent volunteers will help students that need it to change their hair as they get ready for each number.
Makeup-JR Company: Makeup is acceptable on the big stage. Base, blush and natural lip or light gloss is fine in good taste, young girls are not allowed to wear red lipstick. Eye makeup should be kept to a minimum on young children. They tend to rub their eyes. Do not expect your child to do her own makeup and have it look good. They need guidance. 
Makeup-SR Company Starlight: This is the performing group level where they should become more self sufficient, and will do their own makeup, and hair, but they still need guidance.  They have the choice of doing their makeup at home and coming in ready or using their dressing room to get ready before call time. SR company members are encouraged to help one another. By the time they are  promoted to K Star they are well versed in proper stage makeup, and hair, and should no longer need parent guidance. 
NO GLITTER eyeshadow or makeup. 
MAKE SURE YOU SUPPLY YOUR CHILD WITH HAIR CLIPS, HAIR TIES, AND OR BOBBY PINS

Look for your child's Costume letter it went home last week!
