The Showcase Handbook gives guidelines for what to wear. Students are supposed to look professional in all Showcase events. Although comfortable shoes are a must,remind your senior that ripped jeans, sneakers, t-shirts and flip flops are NOT appropriate during Showcase performances. If your student has questions about what to wear, they should ask Ms Price or another Conservatory teacher BEFORE November 17th. 

Senior Parents are welcome and encouraged to watch the Theatre Conservatory Open Rehearsals on Thursday Nov 16th. The schedule may change a bit to accommodate those who are showcasing in other conservatories. During the first three rotations, students who will be performing monologues at showcase are going to rehearse.

9:10am School Starts 

9:15 am Parents arrive in the Black Box to see first Rotation

• Rotation 1 Tech Theatre Students who will be showcasing in Acting
• Rotation 2 Musical Theatre also showcasing in Acting

12:20-1:20 Lunch (no flex bell schedule in effect)

1:25 7th period (afternoon rotations will start)

• Rotation 3 Acting students (those not showcasing in Tech or MT)
• Rotation 4 Playwriting/ Physical Theatre Students

***The Open Rehearsal schedule is arranged based on what areas a student showcases in. For example, a senior showcasing in acting AND tech theatre will be in Rotation 1. A senior showcasing in musical theatre (but NOT tech) will be in Rotation 2. Rotation 3 is reserved for actors who will be performing monologues (but do not showcase in Tech or Musical Theatre). Ask your student to confirm which rotation they will be in, especially if they plan to showcase in the Visual Arts/Dance/Music showcase events as that can affect their rehearsal schedule.

As of October 30th, eighty-four reps from 41 Schools have registered to attend Theatre Showcase Events on the Booker T. campus.  Ten additional schools that will not be sending reps to Booker T have registered to get virtual access.
