Welcome new families and teens to the production of Footloose!
If you're new to the theater program (and even if you're not), here are some brief notes about this year's musical.
Our parent meeting is Thursday, January 18, at 6pm, in the auditorium. This meeting is mandatory for all parents of students in the cast, crew, and pit orchestra.
Communication goes out every Friday via ParentSquare and email from our corresponding secretary, Leigh Havens. We try to keep information brief, but please review this each week so you don't miss important dates and information. The CPP Officer's names and contact information are at the bottom of every weekly email, so you always have a way to reach out with questions.
For a list of volunteer forms for those interested in helping with the show, click here. If you'd like to help and don't know what you want to do, email me at canandaiguaplayers@gmail.com.
Your student's $40 participation fee can be paid by Venmo at @cpp-payments or by check (written out to CPP) or cash given to Mrs. Davis.
Thank you,
Marty Wallace
CPP President
