PARENT VIEWING AREA

Sadly, we are no longer allowed to do the viewing area for backstage parents.

Your three options are:

1. Stay backstage the whole time. You can watch your child on the Livefeed/TV.

2. For kids who need help changing costumes – Come backstage before the show, at intermission, and after the show to help your dancer. The rest of the time you can watch from the audience. We will have staff in the dressing rooms to help kids with costume changes, and to help them get to and from the stage. The Class Captain will also be there to help keep the group together and shepherd them.

3. For older kids who don’t need help- you can drop them off before the show, watch the show from the audience, and come backstage to collect your things afterward.

PRESCHOOL & CAPTAINS

We have asked for an exception to the no viewing area rule for our preschool families, since they need their parents backstage, and for many, it’s their first recital ever and something parents really want to witness <3

Class Captains – one per group – will have a special viewing spot in the wings backstage. They will also get a presale code to purchase tickets.

They will be responsible for:

1. Keeping the group gathered and occupied in the dressing room.
2. Chaperoning them backstage before they go on.
3. Bringing them back to the dressing room after they dance.
4. Bringing them from the stage to the lobby after the show.

SHOW DISMISSAL

After the curtain goes down, instead of exiting backstage through the backstage hallway and returning to the dressing rooms, our staff will bring dancers to the Capitol Theater Lobby, through the theater. Not the big Overture Rotunda lobby – the smaller lobby inside the theater doors.

Your dancer’s class will be led by their class captain and/or a Move Out Loud staff person.

We’ll have a map to show where each class will be, and we’ll also have tall signs 🙂 

You’ll show your students pick up pass (linked below) to the class captain, then you can head to the main lobby for photos, then to the dressing room to grab your belongings before you head out!

Move Out Loud teachers will be in the Rotunda Lobby for photos after each show!

BACKSTAGE PASSES

We will be using stickers instead of digital passes this year.

There are two ways to get your backstage pass stickers:

1. Pick them up from the store during photo week. Anyone over the age of 10 coming backstage will need one. 

2. We’ll be at the stage door handing them out during dress rehearsal check-in (8:00am for Show 1,(time) for Show 2.) We won’t be handing them out other than those time windows, so make sure to grab them from the store if you or someone with your family will be arriving backstage outside of those times.
