SHOW REMINDERS!

WEST FORSYTH HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMING ARTS CENTER - 4155 DREW ROAD - CUMMING, GA

¨ Dancers should be dropped off 45 min. prior to showtime at the Dancer Drop Off Security Table on the 1500 hallway. Backstage Moms may pass the line on the left and check in 1 hour prior to showtime. You will be given a Security Card for your dancer which you’ll need to present after the show.

Dancers should be dropped off completely ready in their first costume and additional costumes in hand.
Make sure to layer your tights if your dancer has costume changes. The top layer of tights will be the first color/performance of the show. The bottom layer will be the second number of the show. If you need to know which dance comes first, check in with your teacher.
Please remove any jewelry, hair accessories and/or nail polish. They are not permitted and will be removed backstage.
We will touch up makeup backstage, as needed. Please let the Backstage Mom Coordinator know if there are any allergies we should be aware of. Also, notify us if there are any food allergies or health concerns.
Our CDA Box Office will have cruise ship souvenirs, dancer flowers, and tickets available (while available) for you to purchase.
The doors to the theater will open approx. 20 minutes prior to the stated showtime.
After the show, please send one female back to the 1500 hallway to pick up your dancer. For security, dancers will not be permitted to leave without the security card.
We like for all of our dancers to stay the entire show and participate in the final curtain call. If you must pick up your dancer early, please see the CDA Box Office Table in the lobby for assistance. If you choose to pick up early, once the dancer is checked out from backstage, they may not return during the show.
Anyone entering the theater must have a ticket. Each seat in the theater requires a ticket. Dancers do not need a ticket to stay backstage the entire showtime. Backstage volunteers do not require a ticket but must remain backstage for the entire show.
Because we present a professional performance, we ask that everyone remain seated during the entire performance. If you do leave the auditorium during the show you will be allowed back into the auditorium only between dances.
Children must remain seated for the entire performance. If you think they will have a hard time remaining seated during the performance, please do not bring them inside the theater. Allowing children to run around or otherwise disrupt the performance is not fair to other audience members enjoying the show or to the dancers who are performing.
Parents who bring infants to the performance should quickly exit the auditorium if the infant begins to cry or create a distraction for the audience. Children 3 & under do not require a ticket, but must sit on an adult lap near & exit quickly if disruptive.
For the safety of our dancers, Flash Photography is prohibited during our shows. (Flashes can blind a dancer onstage, and cause them to become dizzy and/or fall.) CDA’s choreography is copy-righted; therefore, video recording during the show is also strictly prohibited. Professional recordings can be purchased online or in the lobby at the CDA Box Office from Velocity Productions.
Each patron must present a ticket at the door to be scanned for entrance. No ticket—No entrance.
