SHOE NOTICE
Each cast member will need black jazz or ballet shoes (something soft soled) for the performances. Dress shoes and regular sneakers are just too loud on stage.
Before you go out and buy anything, check with friends/neighbors/relatives and see if you can borrow a pair. There is a limited supply of shoes in Ms. Kennedy's room in a box labeled “SHOE BOX”. You are welcome to come by anytime and go through the box to see if there’s anything that fits.
Dance shoes can be purchased at many regular shoe stores.

Basket or Box
We ask that cast members have a small laundry basket or folding fabric bin in which to keep all of their personal items backstage. Here are some examples.
