The People

To All Our Volunteers

Our shows would not happen without the continual support of student parents who volunteer their time for set building, student supervision during dress rehearsals and shows, ticket sales, as well as those who attend the show to watch their child perform. We appreciate both you and your child(ren)'s involvement in our program. If we have left off anyone from our recognition, please let us know so that we may correct it.
