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 student’s name. COSTUMES ARE WORN AT ALL CONVENTION CENTER REHEARSALS!

MAY SHOW WEEK SCHEDULE
Thursday, May 15th through Saturday, May 17th. Details below.

THURSDAY TECHNICAL REHEARSAL
4:00-4:50 Preschool and K-2 classes rehearse 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.

4:50-9:30 All other students (3rd grade-Adult) arrive with costumes and dance shoes at least 15 minutes prior to their first rehearsal time. Tech rehearsal schedule will be posted soon!

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. 4-4:50pm 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
5:15-6:15 ACT ONE
6:30-7:30 ACT TWO
Students arrive and head to dressing areas to change into costume at least 15 minutes prior to the start time of either ACT ONE, ACT TWO, or both depending on where their class performs in the show order. Students may leave dress rehearsal once they have gone through all of their pieces. Students are not required to stay for the entire dress rehearsal. On show day STUDENTS STAY THE ENTIRE SHOW including company bows at the end and the company photo.
