Driving Directions
Starting Tuesday April 13, all rehearsals will be at Pacifica High School Performing Arts Center, 600 Gonzales Rd., Oxnard. Take 101 freeway north to Rose Ave. and go south over the freeway. Turn right on Gonzales, which is just past Walmart. Go about a mile on Gonzales, and you will see the high school on your left. Drive past the school and turn left on Entrada to the back parking lot and enter in at the back gates.
What performers need to bring
Performers need to come to the theater dressed in their first costume and bring their costume box with their other costumes, make-up, shoes, water bottles, and sack dinner in a plastic bag. Please make sure all clothing and make-up items are clearly labeled. Mailing labels work well for this. Make sure all make-up, including hair brushes, are secured in a large plastic zip-lock bag.
Costumes
Performers will take their costumes home after rehearsal on Saturday (4/10). Please make sure you have all costume pieces before rehearsals end on Saturday. Girls in Masquerade, Own Two Hands, and Grease may take their dresses and skirts home on the hanger. Do not put any dresses in the costume boxes.
Check-in Procedures
An adult must sign the children in and sign the children out.
Children will be directed to their dressing areas, where they will drop off their costume boxes.
Children will report to the theater area, where they will receive instructions from the directors. Performers, please try to come in your first costume, rather than take time to change at the theater.
Dropping off items to performers
No one is allowed into the theater area except performers and adults who have signed up to work backstage. If you need to drop something off to your child, such as dinner or other items, please place everything in a bag with the child’s name on it, so a runner can get it to your child. Please send your child with at least two water bottles everyday, as there are no drinking fountains at the theater. Please make sure any food is contained in plastic zip-lock bags, so the costumes are not damaged.
Eating at the Theater
Children are not allowed to eat in the classrooms, so all eating takes place in the hallway or outside. If anyone has blankets, quilts, or other ground covers for the children to sit on, please bring them. This is much appreciated. Food dropped off by parents must be clearly labeled with the child’s name, so a runner can take it to them. Please send children with water bottles.
Hair and Make-up
Please help your child apply their own basic make-up, particularly around the eyes and lips. Any special make-up will be done by our hair and make-up crew. Hair should be styled at home for the 1st act number. Please send hair clips and hair bands with your children, as well as a brush.
What to wear under the costumes
As there will be many children in one dressing area, please make sure your child has flesh-colored bicycle shorts and a tank top or camisole to wear under the costumes. Please show your child how to fit everything into his/her costume box, and have him/her show you how to do it.
Behavior at the Theater
We expect all children to show respect to the adults in charge and to the other children. There is to be no physical contact or inappropriate language used at the theater. Children who behave inappropriately will not be allowed to perform.
Ticket and DVD Information
Tickets and DVDs may be purchased online by going to www.pvef.org and clicking on CineMagic 2010. Follow the links for purchasing tickets. Tickets may also be purchased at the theater box office ½ hour before the show starts. There will be general admission seating to the dress rehearsal on Thursday for $5. DVDs will be sold at the show.
Dress Rehearsal Thursday 4/15

Volunteer Sign Ups Begin Saturday
First it's the first full dress rehearsal. Cast members should arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled time and change into their costume at the studio. This year all costumes will remain at the studio until theater week. Remember there are no private dressing rooms so please wear appropriate under garments.
Picture Day -- Its picture day also. All group pictures, except Mission Impossible, Flintstones and maybe Kung Fu Fighting will have group pictures. Individuals who order and pay for pictures will also have individual pictures taken. Pictures will also be taken for anybody ordering a photo booster for the program. Photo boosters are a fun way to congratulate your CineMagician right in the program.
DVDs will also be for sale.
Volunteer sign-ups for theater week will begin on Saturday also. Please sign up early so we don't have to make phone calls to fill positions. Lets all help out.
If you haven't yet received your costume, don't worry, the director knows and is working on it. You will have it before the show.

Cast Members:
As you can see, the Sat. rehearsals and speaking part rehearsals are every 15 minutes. Please don't be late. Arrive 15 minutes early to rehearsal to change into your Act I costume.
COSTUME BOX: Each cast member must provide a plastic box with lid large enough for both costumes, shoes, hair/make-up supplies, snack & water. Please bring your costume boxes to the rehearsal studio before March 17 so we can pack them up with your costumes. I would like the boxes to stay at the studio until we leave for the theater. This way there is a smaller chance of anything getting lost.
DRESSING: We will have changing areas for boys and girls at the studio. You will be changing with others in your number. When you finish your Act 1 song, change back in your street clothes and put Act I costume back in your box. Arrive 15 minutes early to your Act II number and change into your costume. When you finish your Act II number, put your costume neatly back in your box.
Masquerade girls, you will hang your dresses back up.
OPENING FINALE REHEARSAL: Yes, everyone needs to return for opening/finale rehearsal at 2:45pm. You will not need to wear a costume.
PICTURE DAY: Also, remember that March 20th is also picture day. When you finish your number in rehearsal, you will head to the picture taking area before changing. Parents please be patient picking up children that day.
