It's a BLIZZARD of an update!

A Final Word about the final TWO WEEKS


This coming Sunday marks two weeks until the show opens.

All rehearsals are now mandatory, barring illness, as we prepare to dazzle and amaze over 2,000 guests with the work of the over 130 students in the show.

The limited time we have left means every hour and minute is important. The last few weeks' rehearsals are the most intensive blocking and choreography as costumes, props, and scene transitions are now incorporated with the singing and movement we learned in January and February.

We sadly cannot accommodate any further early dismissals or late arrivals without impacting scene involvement or placement as these disrupt scenes, blocking, and choreography. If you have a conflict please email Mr. Frank (dfrank@davisacademy.org) to discuss.

Pizza and Snacks going forward 

3rd- 8th-grade students will be able to purchase pizza the next two Sundays (March 6th & 13th).

We will be selling Papa John’s cheese pizza for $1.50 a slice.

Please send cash for your kids if they want to do so, and a lunch if they do not.

Mechina- 2ndgrade students are only called for a couple hours, so we will not sell pizza to them until the mid-week tech rehearsals (see below)

Letter from Gift Chair

Image result for theatre director mug



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 130 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 @tmand or email me tamaramand@gmail.com if you would prefer to give a different way. We would love to collect all the money by the cast party on March 18th.

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

Thank you so much,

Tamara Mand
