LHS She Kills Monsters Cast Blog

Parents and students: This is a long message, but includes some very important information regarding our trip to state. Please read it all.

Important information for State 2019

The schedule for all official state activities is on the Guidebook app. Download it for free to see the schedule.

Loading U-haul for State:

After Wednesday's encore show, each character is responsible for loading their costumes into their garment bags and deliver them to Adriana. Make sure you wait until she has checked you off.
Immediately after show on Wednesday, all Cast and Crew needs to load the U-haul. This will take about 1 hour. Please plan rides home accordingly.

Rooms:

The six students who identify as male on the trip will be sharing a room/suite. Each of the students who identify as female will be sharing a room with three other females.
There will be a bed check each night. Once the bed check is completed, a piece of tape will be put across opening of the door. During the course of the night chaperones will check all rooms. If the tape has been disturbed, the chaperone will knock on the door, no matter what time, and check to see why the door was opened after bed check. If a student is found in violation of the rules of the road/code of conduct, they will call their parent/guardian to be picked up immediately. If the parent/guardian cannot pick the student up, a chaperone will drive the student home and the parent/guardian will need to reimburse the theatre department for the gas.

Other information:

If you did not make a copy of the State Thespian Festival Code of Conduct, you can view it on the Oregon State Thespians website.
Students are expected to follow the buddy system: always have at least one other student from Lincoln with you as you attend the festival. If you are planning on attending a workshop alone, make plans on where you will meet up with others afterward or go to the Convention Center to find someone from Lincoln.
Unless otherwise instructed by the chaperones students should always ride with the same driver so that we know all students are accounted for. We will have three SUV’s transporting students during the festival.
In addition to the schedule provided on Guidebook, we have a tradition of going out to Pietro’s Pizza on our way home from state for a “company dinner” with the theatre department will pay for. This will put our return time to Portland at, roughly, 8:00 pm. Students will be encouraged to text home when we are leaving Salem for Portland.
The only meals covered during the trip are breakfast on Friday and Saturday, as well as dinner on Saturday.
