Schedule of Upcoming Events
Casting and Contract letters went in the mail Monday, September 13, 2021 at 8am. If you do not receive your letter by Thursday afternoon, please contact Ms. Ann-Marie at ptbdanceinfo@gmail.com
Please read the scheduling carefully. It is very different than in the past. Missing a rehearsal because you came at the wrong time counts as an unexcused absence and will result in dismissal from the production.
I try very hard to not change the schedule once it's set, however, sometimes it does change. I recommend that the dancers check the schedule daily for updates.
