Musical Theatre students have been busy rehearsing for our production of Cinderella, and we have had a setback with the latest provincial health orders and restrictions. We are now selling a limited number of tickets with the hope that we are allowed to perform in our theatre. Tickets are available through the Parkland box office and are $18.00 each. You can call 250-655-2736 to reserve with a credit card, or send money with your student. Per the health orders, we are currently not allowed to have an audience but this may change on January 31 when Dr. Bonnie Henry reassesses the situation.
Our show run was scheduled to begin Wednesday, February 2 and continue through to Saturday, February 5. With careful consideration, we have decided to reduce the amount of performances and eliminate the two live Saturday shows. With safety in mind, we are planning to offer an online viewing option (most likely live-streaming if our cast remains healthy) regardless of the provincial mandates so we can share our hard work with our community. We are optimistic, but realistic. The link for the online option will be available for purchase via our website for the exact dates and times of the shows. We will be able to provide the information for online ticket sales after January 24, 2022 which will give us enough time to develop our plan.
In the event that the live shows are cancelled, you will have the option to have your ticket purchase refunded, or you can donate the cost of the ticket to our program to help us pay for the rights and royalties of this show. Obviously, this is difficult news to relay and we are hopeful for the opportunity to perform for our friends and families, but it is out of our hands at this time.
Grade 9 immunization forms have been distributed, please complete them and return to the office this week. Thank you!
