SET HELP NEEDED
If you are available at 2 p.m. on Saturday, please join us in starting construction on our set! Any and all help is needed, and there will be more opportunities in the following weeks as well.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations to the four Palmyra Theatre students who earned nominations for their roles in Anne Of Green Gables this Fall! We are so immensely proud of you and all of your hard work!
ANASTASIA CREW
We held a crew interest meeting this week on Thursday night, if you missed it and would like to join crew, there is still time! All crew members should fill out the crew interest form linked below, and if you were not at the meeting to get a contract, that is linked below as well. Signed contracts and T-Shirt fees are due on Saturday, January 31st, which is crew’s first rehearsal.
FRESHMAN/SOPHOMORE PLAY CONTEST 2026
The 2026 Freshman/Sophomore Play Contest, held Friday, April 24 at 7 p.m., is a low-stress, well-organized evening of student theatre that pairs junior and senior directors with freshman and sophomore actors in a friendly, public competition.
Up to six directing teams will present short plays (5–10 minutes) focused on strong acting, clear characterization, and thoughtful directing rather than elaborate sets or costumes.
A panel of theatrical experts will adjudicate performances, with awards recognizing acting excellence, directing, and a special Crowd Favorite chosen by the audience.
COSTUMING NOTES
As we are getting further into the rehearsal process, we are starting on costuming. Cast will need to provide the following items as soon as possible. If you have any difficultly getting these items, please let us know and we can be of assistance.
ALL CAST MEMEBERS:
A clear plastic bin that will hold your costumes and accessories. Please bring this in with your name labeled clearly on the top and sides for easy organization. See THIS LINK for an example.
FEMALE PRESENTING CAST:
Nude character heels. See THIS LINK for an example. These do not need to be this exact pair, but if you do not already have a pair, these are a good option.
Nude unitards and dance tights for under costumes. These are available through Mrs. Petrou. You can bring cash or check (made out to Tap N’ Arts) to her at practices, and she will get these items to you. See the size charts below. Unitards will be $22 and tights will be $10.
ORDERS DUE BY FEB. 14
