JASON G FORDHAM MEMORIAL

I love the theater at Christmas. I'vebeen involved in theater for so manyyears now I've lost count, but my favor-ite time of year to do a show is Christ-mas. It's almost a tradition for me tospend the first two weeks in Decemberat the theater getting into the Christmasspirit. I've gotten to spend the last threeChristmases here at RLT, and I hopefor many more. This show is very special to me formany reasons. One- I love this story. Ithink the message of this story- learn-ing to accept and love others in spite oftheir differences- is one of the most im-portant things we can teach our chil-dren. With so many examples ofbrokenness in the world, this storyteaches us to focus on the beauty.Next- anytime I have the opportunity towork with young ones my heart is hap-py. I absolutely love getting to knowthem and watching them bond or see-ing them in that moment of successwhen they really nail their performance.They make me laugh out loud andmore than I should probably admit- cry.Really, I cry so much over these kidsand how proud I am of them. And last, Ilove this theater. It never ceases toamaze me at how much time and effortRLT folks will put in to make a show thebest it can absolutely be. Every bit ofwhat you see is a team effort and theproduct of hours and hours of work. To my husband Nathan, I love youdesperately. Thank you for staying athome with the kids while I "play". Thankyou for understanding that I'm not thefullest expression of myself if I'm notcreating. Tina, thank you so much foryour tireless efforts on behalf of thistheater show after show. You never liketo be in the limelight, and that's ok, butthe world needs to know how wonderfulyou are. Suzanne, thank you again for

Message from the Director

agreeing to helm the backstage cra-ziness. Somehow you have the abili-ty to remain graceful in all situations.You make me laugh, and you calmmy soul. There is no one else likeyou. Jessica, thank you so much forworking to teach note by note, lineby line and to get it just right. Youroptimism and energy make rehears-al fun, and your ability to read mymind and just know what I want isvery helpful! Amie, I'm so blessed tohave you on my team. You havesuch a gift, and I am thrilled that youchose to share it with us. To thiscast: you are beyond talented. I amblown away at how much of your-selves you've given to this produc-tion. You've been with me everystep of the way, doing every sillything I've asked you, forgiving mewhen I change your blocking overand over, and singing your heartsout while I yell at you to smile :) Theaudience is in for a treat, and youare the reason. I hope you are asproud of yourselves as I am! To theparents, thank you for trusting us

with your kids and for allowing me topush them and love them. And thankyou for all the volunteer hours youhave put in. We've asked a lot ofyou this time around, and you'vefilled up those sign up sheets! Toour audience, we do this for you. Ofcourse, we have fun doing it, but atthe end of the day our goal is to giveyou the experience of live theater. Ifwe can make you feel something,we've done our job. What you are about to see is not a"Christmas show". There's no men-tion of Christmas anywhere. I hopeyou won't leave thinking of it as a"kids show" either. Yes, the cast ismade up of children aged 6 to 18,but they've worked as hard as anyadult cast and are just as talented.This is an "everyone/anytime show"with a great message and somecatchy tunes. We hope that youleave with a new memory, traditionor even just a smile. "Be Our Guest"and enjoy the show.

Arrive earlyIt's a good idea to arrive at least 30 min-utes early so you can have plenty of timeto find a parking spot, pick up your tickets,use the rest room and get something at theconcession’s counter.

Use the restroom BEFORE the showand DURING intermission

Turn your cell phone offEven if you have it on vibrate, people canstill hear the buzzing and it's very distract-ing. Don't talk or text on the phone DUR-ING the performance. If you need to take acall, please wait until a scene change be-fore you leave.

Coming and GoingPlease don't get up and leave during theperformance unless it's an emergency. Ifyou do need to leave or come back in,please wait until there is a scene change.

FidgetingPlease sit still. Bumping your elbows intoyour neighbors or kicking the seat in frontof you is annoying. If you have kids, pleasekeep them in control.

« Sight linesTry to avoid large hairdos and hats. Alsoavoid snuggling up to your date because itmight block someone's view behind you.

PhotosVideotaping and taking photos during theperformance is a distraction to the perform-ers, other patrons and is often illegal.Please don’t take photos during the show.

Other Etiquette Guidelines

« Please refrain from talking, humming, orsinging along with the show, exceptwhen encouraged to do so by the per-formers.

« Please wait for an appropriate time todig something out of your pocket or bag.

« Please do not make noise with candywrappers or popcorn bags.

« Outside food and beverages are notpermitted in the DeSoto Theatre.

« Go easy with the perfume and cologne,many people are allergic.

« The Overture (intro music at the start ofa musical theatre show) is a part of theperformance, so please be quiet when itbegins.

« Don't put or throw anything on thestage.

« Pay attention to the announcementsthat are being made prior to each showabout the rules and regulations and thelocation of the fire exits.

« Do not whistle or scream out to the per-formers, except for a Bravo or Brava inthe finale.

Now for some Dos:

« Do laugh in appropriate places.

« Do applaud with enthusiasm in the ap-propriate places.

« Do tell all your friends, after the show,what a great time you had.

« Do applaud when the performance isover; doing so shows the cast and thecrew how much you appreciated theirhard work and effort.
