The college will provide a linen pack: Towel, sheets, blanket, and pillow. You are welcome to bring any of your own pillows or blankets if you prefer. A packing list was provided to your student via email but just in case here is the list below:
Packing List For training, rehearsal, and Costume attire.
Technique class:
Women – leotard and tights and/or leggings or yoga pants (tighter fitting clothes to help see proper body placement) ballet shoes or jazz shoes and socks for barefoot work.
Men – white tee-shirt, yoga pants, dance pants, sweatpants or shorts (clothing that will not restrict movement) ballet shoes or jazz shoes and socks for barefoot work. You do not need to buy dance shoes.
Shoes for both men and women: ballet shoes, jazz shoes, character shoes (I do have quite a few pairs of both tap and jazz shoes I’m willing to loan out for those who don’t own their own) if you do not own any dance shoes bring socks that you can use during technique class.
Rehearsal attire: clothing that will not restrict your movement and that is suitable for physical activity. If you aren’t familiar with dance attire, think yoga clothing. Nothing too loose that may affect partner work or hinder our ability to see alignment of the body.
Training/Class: Please bring a notebook and a 3-ring binder with all your sheet music and monologues from your repertoire, (anything you have in your repertoire book must be memorized). If you have an 8×10 headshot and resume, bring them, if not, do not worry about it. Pencil and highlighter. ***Pack a lightweight tote bag or backpack to carry around campus and a water bottle.
Sunday Fun Day: Bring clothes you are comfortable hanging out in. Sneakers, or comfortable walking shoes, a swimsuit and pool towel if you want to swim. You will need money for the activities (no more than $20 I would guess).
Show Costumes: Rachel Landis is our costume designer, and you should have submitted or had your measurements done by now, if not be sure to email those to Mona (monamgarber@gmail.com). Women should bring their own dance and or skin toned character shoes. No sports bra’s, all underwear should be skin toned. Men belts, dress shoes or dance shoes will coordinate with your suits and clothing individually with Rachel. Men need to bring undershirts as well; they do not need skin colored but they should be neutral with no prints or patterns. If you have any questions regarding costumes, please contact rachelmathewslandis@gmail.com.

Synopsis:

It features a variety of characters from different professions like teachers, waitresses, millworkers, and housewives, highlighting the hopes, struggles, and pride found in their work, all through a collection of personal stories and songs that explore the universal themes of finding dignity and meaning in one’s job, regardless of its perceived social status.
