Hello friends of StageDoor!

As most of you know,  it takes quite a bit to put on the amazing shows at StageDoor Theatre – including making & gathering costumes and props for each show.  Due to budget constraints, StageDoor typically tries to make, borrow, or acquire donated items.

As the high school cast works hard at learning their lines & dance steps for the musical “Hello, Dolly!” in October & November, we are in search of MANY items for props, & could use your help.

If you are willing to lend or donate any of the items listed below – please let me know!  These are just a small portion of the props we need, & if we can find these, we can spend more time making & searching for our other items.

“Hello, Dolly!” is set in 1895, & we are looking for items to fit that era, or altered to look like they do.

• Walking canes for men – need at least 3 more
• Old luggage/suitcases- leather – need at least 4 pieces
  
• Black combs
  
• Black & white newspapers (no color!)
  
• Wire spools (without the wire) – approximately 15 inches in diameter
  
• Hat boxes
  
• Old fashioned broom – with natural material
  
• Old magazines (Life, Harpers, Cosmopolitan, etc)
  
• Cigar boxes
  
• Makeup Compact, metal lipstick tubes, old coin purses
  
• Pocket watches
  
• Old food cans/tins
  
• Enamel bread bin
  
• Old large tools – ice tongs, pick, wire cutters
  
• Old cash register
  
• Grain/seed/Feed bags – burlap
  
• Bass marching Drum with straps to carry in front
  
• Standing mirror
  
• Small handheld American flags – at least 15
  
• Champagne ice buckets
  
• Empty champagne bottles – 3 or 4
  
• Fake food (chicken, turkey, veggies, cherries, fish, desserts)
  
• Old luggage cart/dolly – that can be altered/painted to look wooden or older
  
• Food cart for restaurant
  
• Large award cup with handles
  
• Silver domed platter – big enough for a fake turkey
  
• Roll of blue wallpaper
  

If you think you can help with any of these, please contact Heather Kassman at kasski@aol.com OR call 720-320-8743.  Also, if anyone is interested in helping paint, build or make props – let us know…we’ve got LOTS to accomplish!

About the show

Hello, Dolly! is one of Broadway’s most successful shows, running for 2,844 performances from January 16, 1964 to December 27, 1970 and winning 10 Tony Awards, a record that remained unbroken for 37 years.

The story takes place when the irrepressible matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi is hired to arrange a marriage for the miserly half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder and she finds him the perfect mate – herself! But first she must win the heart of her unsuspecting “husband to be” before he gets hitched to somebody else. This beloved family musical is a delectable treat for musical theatre lovers of all ages, brimming with joyful tunes such as “Before the Parade Passes By,” “It Only Takes a Moment,” and of course, “Hello, Dolly!” The show features music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman, book by Michael Stewart and based on the play “The Matchmaker” by Thornton Wilder.

Auditions

Auditions for both “Hello, Dolly!” and “Curtains” will be held on Monday & Tuesday, August 1 & 2 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with possible callbacks Wednesday, August 3rd at the same time.

Both “Hello, Dolly!” and “Curtains” have been cast.

Performances

Hello, Dolly! will run for three weekends for a total of seven performances:

• Friday, Saturday, & Sunday October 28th, 29th, & 30th
• Friday & Saturday, November 4th & 5th
• Friday & Saturday November 11th & 12th

Rehearsals

Optional acting classes will be held from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Tuesdays for no additional fee to registered students.

Tech Week Dates: October 22nd & 23rd from 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM; October 24th & 25th from 4:30 PM – 9:30 PM, October 26th & 27th 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM

What is Tech Week?

Tech week is the week prior to the show opening. It is an intensive week of rehearsals during which all light cues are set, as well as the movement of all set pieces between scenes. This is the week that the whole show comes together and is critical to the success of the performance. Attendance is extremely important!
While we work very hard to finish rehearsal on time, due to the nature of tech week, it is possible that rehearsal will run late. If your student is relying on someone to pick them up for a ride home, please wait for a phone call indicating that rehearsal is over so you aren’t kept waiting. Students who are involved in other extra-curricular activities during this week will need to miss those activities during this one week, so they can be present. We suggest that students bring plenty of snacks and water to keep their energy level high during this busy week.

Tuition

$105 per month, due the first of August, September, October, November & December. Payments are spread over 5 months to make it easier on family budgets. Students will need to provide their own shoes, socks, tights, hair care products, and make-up. Save 10% and pay in full by August 1st. Discounted amount is $472.50. If you choose this option and your student decides not to continue with the production, and you request a refund, a $10 processing fee will be charged. Of course exceptions may be made in the case of hardship.

View StageDoor Theatre’s complete tuition policy here.

Attendance

Theatre is a collaborative effort. Cast members rely heavily on each other, so it is important that all members of the group be present whenever possible. Please check the calendar carefully and only register for this production if you can commit to the rehearsal, tech week, and performance schedule. ATTENDANCE DURING TECH WEEK AND ALL PERFORMANCE DATES IS MANDATORY! If you know you have a conflict with a regular rehearsal, you must request to be excused from rehearsal by notifying the director(s) two weeks in advance, in writing. In case of illness, please call the director as soon as possible. No credits are given for missed classes, as StageDoor still incurs the cost associated with the class. In the event of excessive unexcused absences, you may be replaced and no credit given for tuition paid. Students should come to rehearsal prepared and with the following items: script, notepad and pencil, dance or tennis shoes (no thick soles please), appropriate rehearsal attire.

About the show

Curtains is a musical with a book by Rupert Holmes, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and music by John Kander, with additional lyrics by Kander and Holmes. Based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, the musical is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots – set in 1959 Boston – and follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin’ Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. It is up to a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself.

Auditions

Auditions for both “Hello, Dolly!” and “Curtains” will be held on Monday & Tuesday, August 1 & 2 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with possible callbacks Wednesday, August 3rd at the same time.

Both “Hello, Dolly!” and “Curtains” have been cast. There may still be chorus positions available – especially for boys. Please call 303-886-2819 if interested.

Performances

The show will run for three weekends:
