Annual Dinner Theatre Information

Dear Families:

This post is packed with a lot of information, so please read thoroughly and carefully!  Words in BOLD indicate essential details.

Plans are now underway for the Annual Dinner Theatre hosted by our 6^th-year students from the classes of Ms. Bosso, Mrs. Lilley and Mrs. Prescott.  This wonderful night of entertainment, food and fun will be Thursday, October 27.  Dinner begins at 6:00 p.m.  The production will be held at First Baptist Church in Washington, located at the corner of Harvey and Main Streets.  This year, the 6^th–year students will be presenting “Immigration:  Ellis Island” after an American dinner of soups, bread and desserts.

Although the 6^th-year students are responsible for the performance, this is an evening for our entire class to contribute and attend.

Your help is greatly needed to make this event possible and all families are asked to consider volunteering and contributing.

PLEASE SEE THE SIDE LISTING on the BLOG for CONTRIBUTIONS AND WAYS TO VOLUNTEER. SCROLL DOWN THE LIST OF FOOD, BEVERAGES and SUPPLIES NEEDED and POST A RESPONSE TO WHAT YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE!  Thank you to those families who have already volunteered to contribute, as noted on the Side Listing.

The current list of needs consists of:

2 crock pots of chicken noodle soup with ladle

2 crock pots of vegetable beef soup (or beef stew) with ladle

2 recipes of corn bread

2 recipes (or large package of dinner rolls) of your favorite 

bread

2 crock pots of ham & potato soup/ chowder (or your favorite comparable) with ladle

1 pineapple upside down cake

1 apple cake

3 apple pies

2 pumpkin pies

1 recipe of muffins (your choice)

3 gallons sweetened iced tea

1 gallon unsweetened iced tea

200 dinner plates

200 plastic spoons/ forks

200 dessert/ bread plates

MONETARY DONATION:

We are also asking for a monetary donation for the bread (to offset the costs of a volunteer bread-maker).

VOLUNTEERS:

As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”  Aside from contributing delicious food and necessary supplies, volunteers are also needed.

Volunteers set up, help students serve and clean up for the event.  Please sign up where you are able.

All 4^th, 5^th and 6^th-years’ parents are asked to volunteer.

Even though your children may not be directly involved in the performance this year, “your time will come” and we appreciate all who give their time to serve.

TICKETS:

Dinner theatre tickets may be prepaid; more information on this will be available soon.  A family ticket for immediate family members (parent(s) or guardian(s) and siblings) may be purchased for $25, or $7 per person.  You also have the option of paying the same price at the door; however, there will be faster entry for prepaid attendees.

PLEASE NOTE YOU CAN RSVP if you plan to attend by RESPONDING ON THE SIDE LISTING ON THE BLOG.

REHEARSAL:

Cast members (6^th–year students) are asked to pay $3 to cover the cost of pizza and a beverage the afternoon of the play.  More information about the cast, rehearsal time and dress requirements will be made available soon, so please keep posted.

THANK YOU PARENTS:

Our children dedicate a great deal of time and energy into making this program one of great fellowship for us, so thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best,

Margaret
