Parents- if you have old prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, Sweet 16 or Bar Mitzvah dresses taking up room in your closet and you would like to lend or donate them to the cast for the show; this is the time to bring them in. Also, if you have extra sets of cowboy boots, leg warmers, anything you think is 80’s attire and could lend- bring them in. If this time is inconvenient and you’d like to drop off early, the items can be brought to my room- 117 or at the front desk with “Mrs. Portmore-Davies –room 117” written on the bag. Is there a parent or pair of parents who’d like to volunteer to help run the swap? Please contact Ms. Portmore-Davies ([email protected]). J This is going to be a totally awesome show!!!!!!! 2 .
