Come and be part of this spectacular fundraising event for Jesuit High School!

The show is sponsored by the Loyola Guild of Jesuit High School and is directed, choreographed, and produced by Pamela Lourentzos. The show consists of six scenes of great fashion modeling and dancing to a variety of Christmas and popular music representing 50 years of Jesuit High School history.

Jesuit senior boys, parents, and St. Francis senior girls are invited to audition and participate. For those unable to commit to the entire show and rehearsal schedule, participation in the Senior Celebration scene is encouraged. In this scene boys may appear by themselves or with one or both parents. Rehearsal for this scene takes place on the final weekend before the show only.

Christmas Tree Lane takes place on the Monday and Tuesday immediately following Thanksgiving weekend at the Red Lion Inn, Woodlake (formerly the Radisson). Models will perform in three shows: Monday, Dec. 2 at 8:30 pm, Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 10 am, and again at 1:45 pm (Senior Celebration models perform only in the Monday evening show).

We need lots of help in addition to models! If you would like to work backstage at rehearsals and performances, sign up for our fabulous Tech Crew! Please fill out the modeling application for these positions as well. All applications are due no later than Thursday August 29 at JHS Main Office. St. Francis students may turn in applications in Serra Court or in the St. Francis High School Office.

Whatever role you decide to play in this memorable event, this is a major time commitment, but well worth it for the memories you will make and the great show for the benefit of the Jesuit High School scholarship fund. We realize senior boys and girls are very busy and involved; however, in order to produce a polished, creative, and professional show, you must be able to commit to the entire rehearsal schedule. Rehearsals are mandatory with only sickness and emergency situations considered excused absences. Models will also be required to attend brief fittings at participating stores.

Rehearsals take place in the final two weeks prior to the show. Senior celebration participants are required to attend specified rehearsals the weekend prior to the show. All prospective models must fill out the application form, submit the application by August 29, and attend auditions on Sept. 15. Please see the Fashion Show Production Schedule that follows for rehearsal dates and times.

We look forward to working with you!
