Check in starts at 12:45 p.m. in the Parish Hall. You’ll be asked to review your child(s) name for the program – please make sure to do this!
At 1:00 p.m. we review the rehearsal plan and then the cast will go downstairs to their designated rooms. When the runners come to get you – be ready.
We rehearse the first time without costumes; please no shoes or boots.
After this run through the cast will go back downstairs and put on their costumes. There is NO eating/drinking (except water) once participants are in costume.
We will meet back in the Sanctuary 2:15-2:45 p.m. for photos. This is when parents should take photos (photos and videos are not permitted during the pageant on Christmas Eve).
At 2:45 p.m., we will run through the pageant again with costumes as our final rehearsal. When your role is done, please carefully hang up costume in your room and come back up to the Sanctuary for a quick wrap up by 4:00 p.m.
Please make sure to feed your child before the rehearsal. We move through this quickly and do not have a snack break.
