Showcase FAQs

Where is the showcase held?

Marshfield High School's Auditorium, located at 167 Forest St, Marshfield, MA 02050

Where are rehearsals held?

Dress rehearsals are also held at MHS Auditorium.

When is my dancers rehearsal?

All rehearsals will take place in the week leading up to the shows. Exact rehearsal dates + time(s) will be sent home and viewable in your parent portal.

What should my dancer wear to the rehearsal?

Please have your dancer in costume, hair + makeup, ready to dance by your appointed time. Wait in the audience until called upon to dance. You are free to leave when your dancer is finished.

Note: You may take pictures and videos in the auditorium at this time.

Should I send water?

We will have water available to purchase the day of the Showcase. However, it's a good idea to send water with your child for rehearsal AND Showcase. Food is not allowed in the auditorium, but they can eat in the lobby of the auditorium and backstage in the dressing room.

How do I buy tickets to the show?

Tickets will go on sale Sunday, May 5th. Tickets are sold online only.

Does my dancer need a ticket?

No, dancers in the show will not sit in the theater, and therefore do not need a ticket. If your dancer is attending a separate show to watch a sibling, he/she will need to purchase a ticket this season.

Where do I take my dancer on showcase day?

Please take your dancer, in complete costume, hair and make up to the backstage entrance upon arrival. (There will be signs to the backstage area). The backstage helpers will take your dancer to her/his assigned area. Dancers stay with their class until after the Finale.

How long is the show?

We estimate shows will be approximately 1 hour with no intermission.

My dancer is in multiple dances? How will she/he change?

We'll let you know in advance which costume to wear first. Just be sure to label EVERYTHING with dancer's name, bring all costumes with you (including shoes!), and drop the costumes off with us when you check in. We ask if your dancer needs help changing, you come in between dances and meet your dancer backstage to assist.

Can I pick up my dancer after she/he dances?

No, please do not plan to pick up your dancers after they dance. Each child will dance in their class dance as well as the finale. Also, we MUST sign each and every dancer out at the end of the show, and having dancers leave early creates confusion.

Where do I pick-up my dancer?

After the finale, our staff will lead the dancers from the stage back down to where they were dropped off. To avoid congestion, please send one adult only to pick up your child (or group of children). This adult can then escort them out to greet their adoring fans! All dancers must be signed out with the staff assigned to their group.

Can I help out backstage?

We are always looking for parents and/or caregivers to help out at both rehearsals and showcases. We have a large staff on hand, but we also rely on our wonderful volunteers! If you can lend a hand during rehearsals and/or any of the shows, please email us!
