• In order to accommodate the highest number of guests, Dinner Theatre is a two day event. Students are required to attend both days in order to receive full credit.

• Doors open at 6:45 and the concert begins at 7.

• Please stay for the entirety of the concert if possible. We want all of out students to have audience support! 

• Tickets are not required and there is no cost. Programs for the concert will be available virtually via a QR code posted by the auditorium entrance. 

• Donations via cash or Venmo will be accepted at all of our concert to support the choir program. 

Info For Parents (Dinner Theatre)

• Dinner theatre is the largest fundraiser of the year for our chorus program. All of the proceeds go towards operational costs that occur throughout the year. In order to keep our regular concerts free to the public, we rely on Dinner Theatre to help us raise money to offset the costs of music, uniform maintenance, collaborative pianist fees, and other administrative costs. 

• Tickets are $25 per person and will be sold online beginning in October. 

• The event begins at 6:30 PM and is generally about 2 hours long. 

• There is no cost for MHS Choir Students to attend but all guests must purchase a ticket to be admitted. 

Thank you so much for your continued support of our choir students and I look forward to seeing you at our concerts this year!
