Antelope Hills Drama Club
The first drama club of the year will be for fourth grade students. We will be performing
our version of “Frosty the Snowman”.
Drama club is held on Friday mornings from 7:30 – 8:15. We will begin meeting on Friday,
September 17 and will meet every Friday that we have school through Friday, December 3. There
will not be an adult chaperone until 7:25, so please do not arrive any earlier. We will be meeting in
the MPR.
Drama club is a commitment, and students who sign up for drama club are expected to
follow through on their commitment until we are finished performing the play. Each person involved
in the play is important, no matter how big or small the role is. Students who fail to attend
rehearsals, or simply “drop out” are letting down all of the teachers and students who are working
so hard to make the play a success. Our policies are as follows:
• If students have two unexcused absences or lates from a rehearsal they may lose
their speaking part. (Please let us know if your child is sick or has an appointment, as
that will be an excused absence)
• Students who are misbehaving in rehearsals will receive a written warning that will
be signed by their parent. If a student continues to misbehave they will not be
allowed to participate in the production.
• Students will be expected to work on memorizing their lines at home. If students
do not memorize their lines they may lose their part in the play.
The cost to join drama club is $20. You may send in cash or a check payable to Antelope
Hills ASB. We use this money to buy costumes and props for the plays, as well as for teacher
compensation. In addition, each child will receive a drama club shirt.
Please feel free to email Mrs. Mitchell ([email protected]) or Mrs. Nevarez
([email protected]) at any time if you have any questions. We are so excited about our
fourth grade play!
Please keep top portion for your records, as well as the attached form of important dates.

I give permission for my child to be part of Antelope Hill’s Drama Club on Friday mornings from
7:30 – 8:15. My child will be available to attend Friday morning rehearsals and will be available to
perform in the play on December 7 and 9. I understand that if my child misses or is late for
rehearsals or misbehaves they may lose their part in the play. I have enclosed $20 with the
permission slip.

We are looking for parent volunteers to help set up the stage for our performance. We
will be meeting before school during our last drama club rehearsal on Thursday, December
9 at 7:30 am to get everything set up for our performance. Because there is a fifth grade
band concert the night before we cannot actually set up the stage until that morning. Our
first performance is at 8:45 am that morning. We appreciate any help available.
We have lots of props, but are looking for even more holiday items. If you have lights,
artificial Christmas trees, ornaments, or any other holiday items that you would be willing
to let us borrow for our play, please send it in to school with your child by Monday,
December 6. We will return all items after the evening performance on Thursday,
December 9.
If you are not much of a decorator, but love to organize things, we need your help too!!
The drama club cabinet is BURSTING! We would love to have some parent volunteers help
to organize and catalogue all of the items in our closet. This can be done ANYTIME. If
you would like to come during the school day I can let you into the closet; if you would
prefer after school let me know and I can have a custodian let you in. Mrs. Nevarez and I
will be working on the stage on Monday, December 6, at 2:00 pm, so that would also be a
great day for parents to come and help us organize. Please send Mrs. Mitchell or Mrs.
Nevarez an email if you are available to help.
Costumes
This play takes place in the winter, so the students should be dressed in winter clothes:
long pants, long sleeve shirts, sweaters, etc. In addition, have them bring whatever winter
items you have at home: hats, gloves, scarves, boots, etc. Be sure to label the items with
your child’s name.
Professor Snow-It-All: dress nice, in a tie if you have one
Weatherwoman: Dress up
Mrs. Crabby: See if you can find a long skirt with a frumpy shirt and old, oversized
sweater to wear…put your hair in a bun
Officers Max & Maxine: Wear black (or dark) pants with a black shirt.
