A Cast/Crew Party will be held between the two performances on Saturday, January 19th. Parent volunteers do a great job to organize food and games for the students in the Café. All Cast and Crew members will stay in between the performances.

We NEED any, and all, help striking the show. During Strike set pieces, props, and costumes must be put away. The stage needs to be cleared, cleaned and returned to its previous state. This will take place following the last performance (approximately 8:30-9:30pm on Saturday, January 19th ). You can sign up to help with this online.
