- Ms. Elyssa created this tutorial video going over basic stage make-up. If your student needs stage make-up, we recommend using a small kit like this.
- Students must arrive to the theater with full hair and makeup done, wearing their skin-colored leotards with a cover up over.

- Skin-Colored Leotards: We ask that all students wear skin-colored, camisole style leotards when they arrive, which will be worn under all costumes and allow for easy changing in the big shared dressing rooms, where there are no private changing spaces.
- Please make sure to label all of your student’s personal clothing items, ESPECIALLY SHOES! Seaside will keep all costumes after the show.
- Please no jewelry or nail polish.
- We need a few volunteers on performance day, to help with ticket sales and in the dressing room. Click the link on the right to sign up.
