Talent Show Rehearsals start this week on Thursday! Students will be called down to the gym at dismissal. Rehearsals are every Thursday from 4-5:30!

We will have our 1st Annual Talent Show on Wednesday, March 26th. There will be 2 shows that day:
1:30 at Olmsted Elementary
5:00 Performing Arts Center
Tickets are $5 per person/ $20 per family
Ticket Purchasing Information Coming Soon!

All grade levels will have one grade/class act that they will learn in school. If students want to do a solo, group act, etc they need to attend rehearsals after school from 4-5:30 every Thursday starting January 16th. Rehearsals will be in the gym. All students must have parent permission. Acts can not be longer than 1-2 minutes. Directors have final say on all acts.

Not sure on what to do for the show? Join the theatre dance with Director, Morgan King! She is the Drama Director at Hoover High School and has volunteered to help run the Talent Show this year! Please see attached flyer and sign up QR if you want to be involved with her group dance! We are SO lucky to have Ms. King with us this year to help up launch our first Talent Show!
