Commonly Asked Recital Questions:
What is showcase?
Showcase gives the dancers the opportunity to exhibit their skills and provide as professional a stage setting as possible under the direction of instructors who are professionals themselves. The reward of being involved is a phenomenal highlight for their year of hard work. Performing promotes teamwork, confidence and poise. Showcase is a professional, safe environment for them to share thier growth with friends and family.
Where is showcase?
Theater Dress rehearsal and showcase are at Marian High School.
Do I have to go to dress rehearsal?
Yes, all students participating in recital must be at dress rehearsal. This is an opportunity for your student to become comfortable with the stage. There also may be last minute instructions that can only be addressed at dress rehearsal.
What is check-in?

What does my child need when arriving at the theater?

Can I watch the dress rehearsals from the audience?
No, we want to keep the children focused and on task. Parents & siblings taking photos etc. is too distracting and therefor slows down our process.
What do I do after I’ve dropped of my child for an onstage rehearsal?
Every time your child arrives at Marian you will need to check them in with HCD staff, who will be in the lobby of the auditorium.
Can I take videos or photographs

This professional video is part of your Showcase fee, so you will have a great quality video to watch your dancer. NO flash photography! It is dangerous to the dancers. You may take photos Before after the performance is welcome!

Can I take my student out after they perform?
Please remember that our recitals are only about 1 – 1 & 1/2 hours. This will be decided after the final show order has been determined
Why does everyone attending have to have a ticket?
Due to fire codes, each person must be accounted for and the space cannot exceed its seating capacity. Each seat holds a value and in order to keep prices down we must charge for each seat regardless of age.
Should I bring my small child to the performance?
Please be advised that the lights and noise can scare small children and many times parents with little ones spend most of the show in the lobby because it is just too much. Every member of the family is always welcome so if you think your little one will enjoy the show, the more the merrier! If the child will not sit on your lap, a ticket is required.
