Choir members are hard at work on the spring production, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. This promises to be another fantastic performance by the GHS Choir!
Projected costs for this production are approximately $16,000.00 to $18,000.00, so expect some fundraising projects in the months to come. Some of the largest costs are as follows: licensing fees and rental costs for the books and music were $3,500.00; Plaza Theatre rental fees will be approximately $3000.00; Set construction will cost approximately $3000.00; costuming costs will be approximately $1500.00. Any ideas you have for fundraising would be greatly appreciated. The Booster organization will be seeking private donations which will hopefully meet many of our needs. Anyone wishing to help with this should contact us at ghsspa@glasgow-ky.com.
Other volunteer needs are as follows:
Costumes – sewing required
Ushers for performances – providing our own ushers at the Plaza is one way to reduce our rental costs. There will be 3 performances and we need approximately 6 ushers per performance. These duties begin 30 to 45 minutes before show time, and end at the start of the show.
Storage- We are desperately seeking a large storage space. Sets for these performances are huge, although they break down into smaller pieces. At this time, we have set pieces all over the county, and we need to get everything into a centralized location. If anyone has a large storage unit available for use, please contact us. This production of Cinderella will use portions of the set from Beauty and the Beast, which greatly reduces our overall costs. These sets are an important asset to the organization and need to be properly maintained. Additionally, we have been able to rent the Fiddler set to Bowling Green High School, which brings some much needed money to our organization.
Transportation – on the week-end prior to the show and on Sunday evening following the matinee performance, we will need a large truck and trailer to transport the set, large props, etc. Anyone who has something like this available and is willing to help, please let us know.
