Hello Parents!
Hopefully you received a note home with your student last week, but we wanted to send a reminder for you.
Beginning tomorrow (Tuesday, November 24th) we will have combined rehearsals with both age groups. This is necessary so the students can learn the flow and continuity of the show. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Please let us know if we can put you in contact with someone with whom you may want to carpool. The schedule is listed at the bottom of this email.
PICTURES: We will be having a professional photographer come to take pictures of your child in costume. We like to have pictures of our classes as a momentum. You will also have the opportunity to view proofs and order pictures if you desire. We do not allow flash photography during our performances, so this is a chance to get a quality picture of your child in costume. More information will be sent home with your child after class tomorrow.
COSTUME: Have your child dressed in black pants and a black shirt tomorrow. Shirts with words and pictures are okay because they can be turned inside out, backwards, or be covered by the costume that we will provide. We have one or two extra if you absolutely can’t get one. Long sleeves are preferred, but short sleeves are okay. The pants should be ankle-length.
ATTENDANCE: We know this season has been tough on everyone’s health. Lois and Karli are no exceptions! Obviously, if your child is sick, or has had a fever within the previous 24 hours, you should keep him/her home. That said, please make every other effort to have your child at and on time for the next few rehearsals. We only have three weeks left until show time and we need every possible minute!!
SCRIPTS/MUSIC: Please continue to support your student in learning his/her lines and music. We asked last week that all children come with their lines memorized on Tuesday. Any help and encouragement from you in this process in appreciated.
Thank you again for your support. Let us know if you have any questions!
Did you just receive our brochure from your child’s school? Not to worry! There is still time to register! Classes will begin on Tuesday, October 6th, but students are welcome to register up through the following week, Tuesday, October 13th.

We are pleased to announce our Holiday production for the Fall 2009 Semester!
Both classes will be rehearsing and performing A Place in the Christmas Choir, by Alan Billingsley and John Jacobson.
“Fa, la, la, la, la…” Santa’s in the midst of rehearsing the elves, the Christmas Cats, a flock of Calling Birds, and a motley crew of bell-ringing reindeer in the Christmas Choir, when “Arrrrgh!” What’s that awful sound?! Happy the Hound Dog is lending his howl to the chorus. With original songs and dances, Happy the Hound dog and his friends help us to learn a special holiday message: that each of us has a special gift to share.
We hope you join us on October 6th when we start rehearsals! Visit our registration page today!
Thank you for visiting the Northwest Youth Theatre website! All of us at NYT have a commitment to bringing exciting performing arts opportunities to young people. We have seen the growth that occurs as shy children learn that their thoughts and contributions really matter—or as a child who has trouble with school work discovers they have real talent as a singer or actor. These moments of self-discovery fuel the desire of NYT instructors to keep sharing the joys of music, dance and drama with kids.
Please take a minute to look around the website. You’ll meet the instructors, get a feel for our philosophy, find out what programs are coming up and see how students, teachers and families feel about our work.
