To ensure everyone can enjoy our popular Artists in Action event, there will be two identical performances to help reduce crowding:

8:30 AM – Kindergarten through 4th grade attend

12:30 PM – 5th through 8th grade attend

Guests are welcome to attend the ONE performance that best fits their schedule.

To speed up check-in, please complete the Early Check-In Form by noon on Monday, May 19, so we can pre-print visitor badges. All visitors must bring a valid ID. Those who do not complete early check-in will need to be screened through the Raptor system—please arrive early to allow time for this. Both performances will begin on time.

🚫 Please note: Students will not be allowed to check out early after the afternoon performance due to the school schedule.
🪑 More seating will be available at the afternoon performance.
🚗 Please do not park on Delacy or in the car rider lines.

Thank you for helping make this a smooth and enjoyable event for everyone!
