MAY SHOW

Join us in Celebrating 25 years of May Shows! May 2025 APAC Presents…

MAY SHOW CAST
All students enrolled in dance and musical theatre classes at APAC are featured in our annual year-end production held at the Abilene Convention Center, 1100 North 6th Street.  

MAY SHOW COSTUMES
April-early May every musical theatre and dance student receives their costume(s) and detailed info about hair, make-up, shoes, tights, name of the piece, instructor contact, etc. Please take care of your investment by waiting until Convention Center rehearsals to wear those costumes. Please label all costume pieces and shoes with students name.
COSTUMES ARE WORN AT ALL CONVENTION CENTER REHEARSALS!

MAY SHOW WEEK SCHEDULE
Thursday, May 15th we will have a tech rehearsal of Act One and Act Two at the Convention Center. May 16th is Dress Rehearsal and May 17th at 1pm is the show.
A more detailed schedule of these three days will be available soon, below is general information.

THURSDAY TECHNICAL REHEARSAL
DETAILS FOR APAC FAMILIES & PERFORMING STUDENTS
The entrance for May Show performers is through the backstage door of the Convention Center located on the north side of the building, closest to Pine Street. (You will see Mrs. Lanie’s yellow car parked in the driveway). Technical Rehearsal (Thursday) is set so that each musical theatre and dance class has time to rehearse their pieces in costume on stage. Upon arrival students will see an information table where Mrs. Lanie will be to answer questions and give directions if needed. Preschool and K-2 classes will rehearse 4-4:50pm without costumes and are to arrive by 3:55pm and stay until they are finished rehearsing with their class during that 4-4:50pm time. All other students (3rd grade-Adult) arrive with costumes and dance shoes at least 15 minutes prior to their first rehearsal time following tech rehearsal schedule (published soon!) allowing time to dress in the costume for that piece. Students change out of costumes following each piece they rehearse and can leave once all pieces they have listed on the schedule for that day have rehearsed. Do not leave costumes or dance shoes at the Convention Center. Take everything home each time so that nothing is misplaced or lost. Be sure student name is written on EVERYTHING! Each age group has their own assigned dressing area that information is available at the info table in the backstage area.

FRIDAY DRESS REHEARSAL
DETAILS FOR APAC FAMILIES & PERFORMING STUDENTS
Students arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the dress rehearsal start time. Parents that plan to help in the dressing areas please text me at 325-721-4884 and let me know. You are WONDERFUL! Assisting your performer and others is fantastic and encouraged! Especially our younger students. Students may leave dress rehearsal once they have gone through all of their dress rehearsal pieces. Students are not required to stay for the entire dress rehearsal. This is only for dress rehearsal. On show day STUDENTS STAY THE ENTIRE SHOW including company bows at the end and the company photo.

SHOW DAY
DETAILS FOR FAMILIES & PERFORMING STUDENTS
On the day of the show the backstage doors unlock at noon. Students, please arrive no later than 12:15pm staying through the show (BACKSTAGE) until the company bow and company photo at the end of the show. Preschoolers may arrive no later than 12:50 on Show Day and may leave with their parent following their performance at the very beginning of the show. Arrival time for K-adult students is Noon-12:20pm.
All doors will remain locked until Noon. Cast meeting backstage is at 12:30pm FOR ALL (K-adult) STUDENTS AND STAFF. Preschoolers (with a parent) are certainly invited to the cast meeting at 12:30pm but we do understand the challenge that holds so preschool may arrive at 12:50 if that is a more comfortable option! Curtain opens at 1pm. Students remain in their assigned dressing rooms during the show on Saturday, May 17th until the company bow at the conclusion of May Show. PLEASE no greasy food or drinks other than water bottles. We understand a healthy snack and water, but please no meals or items that will spill and stain costumes.
Parents that plan to help in dressing rooms text me at 325-721-4884 and let me know. You are WONDERFUL! Assisting your performer and possibly others is fantastic and encouraged! Especially our younger students.
