TRICKSTER 

Thank you to the parent association, we are thrilled to be hosting a Trickster residency the week of December 18-22, 2023.  Trickster is a weeklong theater residency where each class creates a short play that is shared with families at the end of the week. 

 

Please Help With... 

If your child will not be able to participate in the Thursday evening show, please communicate this to their classroom teacher. 

Please plan on remaining in the gym for the show (either A or B), for the entirety of the performance. Students will be safely supervised in their classrooms by their teachers. 

 

The Night of the Show 

As we have 20 classes, two evening shows are necessary to accommodate everyone. 

Show A and Show B. Please see table below for schedule. 

If you have more than one child at Sam presenting in 2 different shows, please leave your outdoor clothing in the class of the student in Show A. 

Students not performing are not to attend these evening shows as spectators because they will be watching the shows the next day and we need to allow space for families to spectate. 

Students are welcome to be in their classrooms when not performing.  They will be supervised by their classroom teacher. 

Please pack food for your child as they are welcome and encouraged to eat.
