"A Walk with Walt"
We are beyond excited for this year's production! From the theme, to the glamorous costumes, and from the choreography to all of the hard work every participant, teacher, parent, and volunteer is putting forth, we believe this will be one of our best shows yet!

All costumes are on their way, and the final costume fees are being added to your accounts. Please be sure to continue checking your account if your student has not yet been charged for their costume. As the final costumes come in, we are working hard to get them fitted and altered so that you can pick them up once they are paid for.

Don't forget about the annual production fee of $50 per family. This fee is used to pay for venue rental, props, sound, lighting, and other costs associated with the production. The final payment is due by May 15th. Remember, these fees must be paid before your student can participate in the showcase!

As always, we will be asking each parent to work an area of the production one of the two nights. On May 6th @ 6:00 PM, we will be holding a production meeting at the studio, and sign up sheets will be available. With this year's production being held at the fabulous Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center, we will need more help than ever to support all of the areas. There will be jobs available for both front-of-house, such as ticketing and usher, and back stage, such as props and dressing areas.

Tickets will be going on sale on May 1st! They will be $12 each if purchased in advance either at the studio or online. A link will be provided to purchase your tickets online. Online tickets must be purchased by May 22nd. Tickets will be available at the door for $15 each. Reminder, they are seat specific! So, if you want a particular seat (including handicapped seating), make sure to purchase yours early!

Let's make this the best production yet!
