 End Notes 

Thank you for joining us for our performance. Many students have put in much time and energy to bring you this play. Please remember to take a moment to turn off cell phones or pagers, and enjoy our concessions in the commons at intermission. 

 

Some of our students are preparing for International Thespian Festival and we could use your support! It is costly to send our students to festival--your support means so much and helps our students out so much. We have T-Shirts and Coffee mugs for sale along with concessions to help raise money to help out our families who cannot otherwise afford these trips that are so important for our student growth!

 

If you are interested in helping provide support for our Theatre Program through the Booster Club, please see Mrs. Veneris or Tanya Briones after tonight’s performance.
