 Ticket purchases will be all completed using our online system. You will be able to select your seats, pay online with a credit card, and print out your receipt/ticket confirmation (which will serve as your ticket on the day of the show). Ticket sales will open online February 27th in the pre-dawn hours. The school community will be emailed this link in the Friday Shabbat Shalom Message, which will enable cast members and their families to purchase tickets before the whole school community has this link. All tickets will be purchased through an online ticketing system, using the following link. http://www.seatyourself.biz/davisacademy  

What section and where should I buy tickets if I have an LS cast member? – This will be communicated in a blog post on Monday 2/24 as we are finalizing LS stage placements at this Sunday's rehearsal.

Dear Parents,
 


Dear Parents,

 
I am writing to ask you for your support in recognizing our Director Kendrick Phillips and several other people who have gone over and above to make our show the huge success that it will be. Each year Kendrick, our director, works tirelessly, long after rehearsals are over to make sure our school production resembles something you may have seen on Broadway – staging the show, creating the design of the costumes, designing the sets, props, creating all of the choreography, shopping, and more.
 
There are also a number of dedicated staff and volunteers who give countless hours of their time to ensure the high quality of our production. For those of you that are new to this experience, you will be amazed to see close to 150 children ages 5-14, come together for some unforgettable performances. Please show your support for Kendrick and the production staff by donating amount of your choosing per child in the play (or an amount of your choice) to help purchase a Director's gift and flowers/thank yous for all who make our kids smile and shine when they are on stage. 
 

Please Venmo @Jami-Kohn. We would love to collect all the money by the cast party on March 15th.
 

Thank you in advance for your participation. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
 
Thank you so much,

A Final Word about the Next Four Weeks 
Image result for please read important messageWe are once again looking forward to sharing the magic, joy and hard work of over 150 students with you just four weeks from this Sunday.  The limited time we have left means every practice, hour and minute is important.  We are rapidly approaching the mandatory practices of March, but I want to remind you that this means staying for all of the called times.  The early dismissals and late arrivals can disrupt scenes, blocking, and choreography.  It is essential the these are kept at a minimum.  If you have a conflict and are going to miss a rehearsal or part of one, please email me (dfrank@davisacademy.org) to discuss.
We are looking forward to a fabulous few weeks before a tremendous show!!!!

Thanks,
Drew and Kendrick
