Good behavior is paramount and anything less will not be tolerated. We have an excellent reputation for respectful and professional behavior and we will continue that tradition. Students will be on time, appropriately dressed with all of their costume pieces, listen and applaud appropriately, and will not be going to the bathroom during the show.
Tickets for this show can be purchased online and at the door
You will want to get in line early so you can find your seat as soon as the doors open. If you don’t get presale tickets, you will have to wait in line to purchase, and then wait in line to go in. Premium seating is also available on the site.
