Enjoy an unforgettable evening of breathtaking aerial choreography as we explore God’s incredible narrative for the world. Together, we’ll look forward with hope to the story still unfolding!

● Our dress rehearsal and performances will be held at the wonderful Lavern Veasy Performing Arts Center in Luther, OK.

● It is a short, 20-minute drive from Reclaiming Arts. Please put in “Luther High School” in maps for directions (18001 N Luther Rd, Luther, OK.)

● You will see the auditorium just east of the high school.

● There is no food or drink allowed backstage or in the auditorium, except water. Students may eat in the lobby (with a cover over their costume). We want to be respectful of our beautiful space by following this rule. There will be snacks available in the lobby conference room for students who are called for more than one rehearsal block.

Date: May 27, 2025 from 3-9pm (in blocks)

Location: Luther Auditorium

● Rehearsals will follow a block schedule, with each class assigned to a 1.5-hour block for warm-up and onstage practice.

○ For Students Called for One Block: A parent or guardian is required to stay with their student for the entire rehearsal block (unless your student drove themselves). Please ensure your student has a snack if needed, and pack accordingly.

○ For Students Called for Multiple Blocks: Parents may drop off their student and return to pick them up after their final block. A complimentary snack bar will be available for students rehearsing multiple blocks. If your student will need lunch or dinner, please pack food or arrange for it to be dropped off.

● Once checked in, your child will be shown their dressing room. Because of limited space, we ask that parents only go backstage if volunteering or needing to assist their child. We will have teachers in each dressing room and backstage to help with everything the performers will need.

● Students should arrive in full hair, makeup, and costume.

● Students will not have an opportunity to eat a full meal in between shows. Please plan accordingly by sending your child with non-messy, protein-filled snacks that do not require refrigeration or microwave access (ex: string cheese, beef jerky, fruit, protein bar, etc.).

● Upon arrival for shows and dress rehearsal, please check in at the lobby. Check-out will also be in the lobby, after your student’s rehearsal/show concludes.

● Once you check your child in, you will be given an ID badge. We have hundreds of awesome families in our Arts Fam, but our volunteers will not know each parent. You will keep your ID badge to present at check out or if you need access backstage. Each child will get one ID badge. Older students, ages 16 and up, are allowed to check themselves in and out without a parent. Students may not leave in between shows or during rehearsals.

● Note for Dress Rehearsal:

○ If your child is only in one rehearsal block, a parent is required to stay with them (unless your student drove themselves).

○ If your child is in more than one rehearsal block, parents have the option to leave after check-in and return at check-out.

Hair: Slicked back, low bun with middle part. See photo for reference.

Makeup (women): Basic stage makeup, including foundation/concealer/powder, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyebrows, mascara, and red lip stain (we recommend Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick). See photo for reference. We ask that it is a lip stain instead of lipstick so that it does not transfer onto the costume.

● For a wrinkle-free costume, be sure to steam prior to arriving at dress rehearsal/performance.

● Please do not allow your student to wear their costume before dress rehearsal/performance.

● Please do not allow your child to eat in costume. Bring an extra set of clothes for before and after the performance and a cover-up.

● Please be sure to check for all items needed before leaving the house. This includes costume items, tights, accessories, shoes, and hair and makeup supplies.

● It's best to bring a small laundry basket to gather items that would spill out of a bag.

● Please label shoes, laundry basket, and other items to ensure you go home with your belongings.

There will be a photographer on-site at Luther Auditorium during dress rehearsal. After your student finishes their rehearsal, they will have the option to have a photo taken by a professional photographer (Emma Castor at EGC Snaps). Pricing is a flat fee of $40/student for 2-3 images per costume and full access to download the photos on an online gallery.
