Ticket Sales
th
Tickets will go on sale at noon May 25 (Friday) at the Mahaffey
Theater. All seats are reserved at a cost of $21.00 plus a $3.50 facility
fee for a total cost of $24.50 per ticket. Tickets can be purchased via
the theater's website, phone line or box office. All tickets purchased on
line will be charged 10% of the total price in service charges. I highly
recommend going to the Mahaffey for your tickets at the box office to
avoid this added charge!
Children under one can be in their parent's lap. Remember to buy a
ticket for your dancer to sit in the audience for the half of the show that
they are not backstage. Children performing in both halves will remain
backstage for the entire time.

Name check
Please check for the correct spelling of your dancer’s name in the
recital program name check and let us know about any needed
changes. This draft will be sent through email. Please find your
dancers class or classes in the program and notify us of any mistakes.
Backstage Passes
Each family will receive one backstage pass. This pass will allow one
parent to take their child back to the appointed dressing room and
leave them in the care of the backstage helper. At the end of the show
or half, that same parent will return to pick up their child. This pass is
needed for the dress rehearsal and the show. You will not be allowed
backstage without this pass.
Megan will have the backstage passes available in the office
beginning May 21 (Monday). At this time please check your account
that all fees for the year are paid in full. Also update any changes in
address, phone or email.
Program Ads
Recital program ads can be purchased by summiting the layout to

12th. They can be > pdf, eps, jpg, tif, Illustrator file or Photoshop file.

Picture Day
Our pictures in costume will be taken at BKDC on April 30, 2018.
We have a new company, D & B Photo with 4 photographers working
on this one day. At the assigned time your child will be part of their
class photo and then pose alone for 6 photos. The pictures will be
available to view immediately following and for purchase at your
choice. They will give a thumb drive with your purchase and a photo
release to use your pictures anyway you would like with more options
on-line.
Schedule of Picture Day
This schedule was given the first week of April to all students and sent
through email using Constant Contact from BKDC.
Again, all traffic through the theatre to backstage is allowed, but returning
to the theatre parents and dancers must walk outside and around to the
main entrance. This rule is in place to have successful escort of our
dancers to their dressing rooms during the 20-minute intermission and is
required by the Mahaffey for ticketing on show night.
This will be enforced during the actual recital night. During the dress
rehearsal there is more freedom to go back and forth, but it is very
important to have your backstage pass with you!

Intermission
Introduction of Teachers
All students will enter with one parent and backstage pass through the
stage door to their appointed dressing rooms. Dancers in multiple dances
will have their dressing room assignment cards and pre-set all costumes.
Note: These cards should be filled out prior to the recital day and brought
with the dancer to assist backstage helpers in delivering the child to each
dressing room for each number (Pre-set your costumes as soon as you
arrive and then return to your first dressing room for the start of the show,
or to the audience if you are only in the second half).
At intermission, all children in the second half of the show will be escorted
backstage by their parent with a backstage pass. After leaving your child
with the designated helper you will return to the theater to watch your child.
When your child is finished with their dance you may either take them
home or return to the theater to watch the remainder of the dress
rehearsal.
th
During the actual performance on June 8 , you will only be allowed to go
backstage during intermission and at the end of the show.
Dancers should pre-set costumes in the backstage area at the end of the
nd
dress rehearsal in preparation for the next evening. Those in the 2 half
only do not need to come at early call the night of the show, and will be
able to enjoy the first half of the show seated in the theatre. With
costumes pre-set, there will be no need to go backstage until intermission.
After each dance, dancers in more than one number will progress to their
next dressing room where their costume is pre-set. If their next number is
in the second half of the program they will remain with their class in the
first half until the intermission.
Recital Night
th
Friday, June 8 at 7:00 PM
The Mahaffey Theater
Full costumes and make-up are required.
Check in begins at 6:00 PM.
Dancers must be in their assigned dressing rooms at 6:30 PM
sharp!!
All students in the first half of the show will get situated back stage. Please
pre-set any costumes in designated dressing rooms if you are in more
than one number. After costumes are set you will go to your first dressing
room assignment. If you are only in the second half of the show you do not
need to arrive at the early check in time. You must however pre-set all
your costumes at the end of dress rehearsal.
At intermission parents will enter the backstage area with their pass.
If your child is only in the first half of the show, at INTERMISSION
ONLY you must come backstage with your pass. You will then take
your child outside to the main entrance of the theater to be seated with
a ticket you purchased for your child to watch the remainder of the
show. (Parents should be sure to keep their own ticket stub to re-enter
the theater.) Parents picking up the Creative Dance children in the
lobby will need a ticket for their dancer if you are planning to stay for
the second half of the show.
If your child is only in the second half, you will watch the first half of the
show and then bring your dancer back stage at intermission.
If your child is in both parts of the recital they will remain backstage
the entire time.
Students that are in Creative dance classes are allowed to wear their
costumes to the recital and can sit in the theater in costume. Children in
Level I and up should wear regular clothes in the theater when watching
the show and change to costume when backstage. After your child has
performed they may leave their costume backstage to pick up later that
night after the performance. All dancers should come with all make-up and
hair fixed.
Finally - For the safety of your children please follow the above
procedures; please be sure to remember your backstage pass and ticket
stub at all times. For simplicity, you may choose to pin the pass and ticket
stub on your lapel
Questions about This Handout:
th
Parents open meeting for anyone with questions on May 17 at 7:00 PM at
the studio. This meeting is not for the Backstage Helpers. The meeting is
held to help any families new to the studio that are unsure of the Recital
Booklet and have additional questions. You are always welcome to email
questions to brucie@brucieklays.com
Costume Care
We recommend that your child’s name be placed in all costumes, shoes,
accessories, and tights. Place costumes on hangers (The drycleaner
hangers with paper are good for writing the dancer’s name on) and
accessories in a clear plastic bag (Ziploc bag) with your child’s name on
the bag and on each item.
Summer Dance:
Early registration for summer activities is during office hours at the studio,
Monday-Thursday. We have different programs for all ages this summer
