What Other Costs?Summer Showcase:The Downstairs Cabaret Theatre will be selling tickets to all of the Summer Showcases. Tickets are $7.00 for adults, and $3.50 for children under 10 years of age. Tickets may be ordered by calling 325-4370 or through the DCT-SEP office before camp each day.Why do we sell tickets?One important reason is to give value to what the students have achieved.
They are giving a performance, and that performance warrants respect for
their time, effort, and talents. By
charging admission, we validate their work, as we do for the professional actors
and actresses at the DCT.
Another reason is space constraints. With
a small theatre, we have limited audience seating.
We can be sure that the audience members who buy tickets, want to be
there. It also helps to ensure that
there are enough seats for every student’s family.
(If the tickets are free, someone may grab 20 tickets for extended family
and friends, leaving less available for others.)
Finally, the ticket price helps to pay for production costs – costumes, props, scenery, etc. These costs are not always covered by program fees.Showcase Videos:At least one of the showcases for each session will be professionally videotaped. At the video-taped performance, you will not be allowed to video tape the show. DVDs of the performance will be offered for sale by the videographer. In the past, the dvds have sold for around $25. This is not a required cost, but we thought you might want to know up front!Costumes?Yes, students will need costumes for the showcase, but we do everything we can to provide a suitable costume for your child. In the past, we have asked parents to send in a costume piece or two, if the student already has that item at home. Please, do not buy any costume pieces!
