• 3:30 PM Lobby/Will Call Opens
• 4:30 PM Performance Begins
• 7:00 PM Students Go Home

Volunteers: We need parent volunteers to help in the dressing rooms on performance day. When your child performs, you will be shown to a special seating area to watch them. To keep all children safe, only official Seaside volunteers, who are signed up in advance, will be allowed backstage at the theater. Please click here to sign up!

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. If your student needs stage make-up, we recommend using a small kit like this. 

Costumes & Attire: Families will supply basic items like shoes and undergarments, while Seaside provides all costumes. Please make sure to label all of your student’s personal clothing items, ESPECIALLY SHOES! Seaside will keep all costumes after the show. More info to come for each class.

Backstage Boxes: We highly recommend ALL students bring a “Backstage Box” to help keep all of their personal items organized backstage at performances. We recommend one with a sturdy latch AND top compartment, this Office Depot brand box can be purchased via Amazon at this link.
