The crew performs a tongue in cheek performance for the cast -- a comical, mock version of the production. This crew performance generally contains blue material. It's all in fun, and filled with "insider" type jokes for the cast/crew. I advise parents NOT to attend this mock performance. It's really all about and for the kids.
Then, the cast/crew does a presentation of gifts to the adult directors/designers and crew. Jim always closes the onstage party with, "Make good decisions at your next destination." We want the kids to be careful and smart about everything after they leave the school grounds.
After the closing celebration at school, there's an all-night cast/crew party at one of the cast or crew member's house, hosted by the parents of that student. Who wants to be the host? The families in the past who host these parties have always been very proactive and responsible about creating a no drinking, no drugs, and no sex venue.
The kids are full of energy after closing. They really enjoy spending time together at the all-night party. It's all part of the theater experience at Lincoln, and helps them emotionally close down the show after being a big family for a couple of months. Just so you know ......not every parent allows their student to go to the party, or they may allow their student to go to some of the party, but not spend the entire night. This is a decision between you and your student. We respect your decision.
