You didn't think it'd be cancelled, did you?!
No way will we let COVID hold our talented students back! Let's start this year off right- positive and fun- because....
Are you a dancer or a singer? Do you play an instrument? Can you juggle? Everyone has a special talent. Here's a chance to show off yours! Get a group of friends together or bring your best solo act!!
There will be some major differences in the way we are producing the show this year:
1. The show will be ONLINE (using Teams) no live performances. (Parents must give permission for students to record their acts.)
2. No IN PERSON/AT SCHOOL casting call, practices or rehearsals! (Students will record their own acts/talents in a 3 min (or less) video.)
3. Students in Grades 3 - 5 are invited to show off their talents either as a solo or group act! (We will do our best to squeeze in all acts, but time constraints may limit number of acts)
