Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Ticket sales at the studio begin May 18th.
Why must I buy a ticket? There are many costs totaling in the thousands to put on a recital. Many of the people we hire also get paid time and a half because recital falls on a weekend. Some of these costs include: Theater Rental, backstage workers, lighting and sound designers, backdrops, program printing, music licensing, janitors, ticket printing, stage runners, and hourly employees that help the show run smoothly, The work begins long before the show starts.
