Frequently Asked Questions

See below for some of our more frequently asked questions leading up to comp day

Please remember all coaching staff & backstage volunteers MUST have the WWCC card on them at all times.  If a volunteer asks you to show it please just do so without too much fuss,  we are just trying to keep everyone safe.

 

Please coaches note that you will have to pull your own reveal curtains as we are limited with volunteers.  The back reveal is on a pully & is not heavy or hard.  The back reveal is to be used for all entry & exits.  The mid curtain is only to be used in FANCY items if needed, it is in the middle of the stage.  The cyc is directly behind the black curtain, there is very limited space back there, so if you have a student that enters or exits from the black before you go to cyc this might be delayed or very tight for the student to exit before you pull out the black to reveal the cyc.  The cyc is also on a pully so if you are wanting this in for your items you may need to help pull this in or out.

Please remember to keep them as clean as possible, try to avoid make up or leg tan on furniture/walls etc.  Any damage will need to be paid for by the teams dressing in those rooms, so please keep an eye out & be respectful.  Most teams will be dressing in one of the three class rooms downstairs under the O’Brien foyer area which is just side of the prompt side of stage, where the performers will enter & exit.

Rooms are marked 312 & 313 at St Bernards

Where we have large team numbers the Drama room upstairs near the female toilets in the foyer might be used.  Please remember that dressing rooms are NOT opened until 45 mins before the competition start time & everyone MUST leave the dressing rooms within 15 mins of the competition ending or your club will be fined.  If your club is there for 2 sessions in a row we will try to leave you in the same dressing room but we still ask that you leave the room within in the 15 mins so that we can clean up & organise for the next session.

 

Caroline Springs
Nearly everyone will be sharing the basketball courts behind the theatre. There is limited space so we ask that parents / guardian leave their child/dren with their coaches, and then head into the audience to enjoy the show.
