SHOW DAY DETAILS
The show day process is a little bit different than dress rehearsal (especially for preschool dancers).
Please see all the important info below.
Location:
Del Valle Theater
1963 Tice Valley Blvd, Walnut Creek, CA
SHOW DAY ATTIRE
Dancers should arrive “stage ready” in exactly what they’ll be wearing on stage. There will be no changing or getting ready at the theater.
See Costume Guide for details regarding outfit, shoes, hair and makeup!
SHOW DAY CHECK IN: PRESCHOOL GROUPS
Our preschool groups Imagination Operations + Reindeers will perform in ACT II. This means these dancers get the special privilege of sitting in the audience with their families and watching the first half of the performance instead of waiting backstage.
That said, preschool dancers will arrive for the 12:30 showtime with their families and have a seat in the audience.
At intermission, these dancers will be called backstage right from the audience and perform in the 2nd half of the show.
Please note, these dancers will not be provided a seat. Tickets are assigned seating (not general admission). If you’d like your child to have their own seat while they wait to go on stage, you may purchase them a ticket or they can sit on the lap of a parent complimentary.
Preschool parents will not accompany their dancer when they go backstage.
