Volunteers: We are looking for parent volunteers to fill a variety of roles, from Will Call to dressing rooms! Please consider signing up for at least one shift. Only official Seaside volunteers will be allowed backstage at the theater. This policy helps keep ALL students safe as it allows us to know who is supposed to be backstage, so that we can better monitor students. Please click here to sign up to volunteer.

Costumes: Seaside provides performance costumes for all students at no additional charge, but there are some basics that you will need to provide, including shoes. Once costumes are finalized, we will let you know what your child should bring to wear under/with their costume.

Hair & Make-Up: We ask that ALL students wear basic stage make-up for the performance. While it may look like a lot off stage, under the bright lights of the theater, from the audience’s perspective it will look very natural. Without stage makeup, students will look very washed out, and it will be hard to see their faces and expressions. Ms. Elyssa created this tutorial video going over basic stage make-up.
