Holiday Showcase Tickets

If your child is a Triple Threat (enrolled in 3+ classes), you should have received an email last week with a link to purchase tickets.

General sale begins on Wednesday, November 8th. On that day, head to our website to purchase the best seats for your child’s show(s)! Please note that each show is cast-specific, so be sure to double check your child’s cast(s) through the Portal before purchasing tickets. All tickets are $15 each and non-refundable.

To help ensure each Stagelight family has a chance to see their performer onstage, we are limiting purchases to 6 tickets per performer, per show. Tickets are not guaranteed and will sell out, so be sure to purchase them early.

Thanksgiving & Winter Break Closures

Please take note of our upcoming studio closures. We are not holding class on any of the following days:

  • Thanksgiving week: Monday, November 20th – Saturday, November 25th
  • Winter break: Monday, December 25th – Saturday, January 6th

Please note, all active enrollments automatically continue after our Holiday Showcase & winter break, through June 2023, unless specifically dropped through the Customer Portal.

DIRECTORS’ NOTES

Volunteers for Holiday Showcase – A great way to see the show without buying a ticket!

We are still in need of quite a few volunteers for our Holiday Showcase performances. Please consider helping us in one or more of our shows. Putting on a show of this size requires the help from our amazing parents and caretakers. If you’d like to help us, please head to our Sign Up Genius.

Show Order & Practice Music

You can view our Holiday Showcase spreadsheet here or on our website for each casts’ show order, practice music, and more information about class-specific underdressings, shoes, hair, and makeup.

HOLIDAY SHOWCASE 2023 DATE CHANGE! Our Holiday Showcase is now taking place on Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th. We are releasing more info regarding casts, call times, and show times in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

Snag the Gear Your Performer Needs for Class

If your child is still in need of some clothing, shoes, or other materials for class, look no further! You can find all of the recommended gear your child needs for their class discipline(s) HERE! Be sure to select each of the applicable disciplines to find all the gear and materials they might need for this season. If your child’s discipline isn’t listed, check your enrollment email for more info.

Submit Future Absences Through the Portal

If you plan on missing a group class for any reason, log your absence ahead of time in the Customer Portal or in the iClassPro app (App Store and Google Play) to make room for another student to take a makeup class. Working together to log absences is the only way we can ensure the makeup spots in class are available when you need them.

Please note, all private lessons must be canceled via an email to stagelightarts@gmail.com. We do this to ensure that we are able to notify the instructor and you get your credit if canceled prior to the 24-hour window.

If you have any questions, please email us at stagelightarts@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Marley__the_Stagelight_StaffMarley
