Clue Parent Update

Good Evening Clue Parents, 
I hope that everyone is doing well as we seem to be speeding toward the end of the school year.  I wanted to take a minute and check with you on all things Clue.  First, the kids are doing a great job and I think the audience is going to have a ton of laughs!  

On average, each show has sold roughly half, so there are still plenty of tickets available.  We are going to increase our ticket promotions this week and I would love for you to help us share the information.  A dinner show is a new concept for our school community, but I am hoping it will find great success.  As always, tickets can be purchased at EastLincolnOnStage.org/tickets. 

There are options for this show and I know that makes for a little confusion.  Of course, we have one cast performing on the first weekend and a second cast performing on the second weekend.  On each of those weekends, Thursday and Sunday will be dessert only shows, while Friday and Saturday are dinner shows.  For dessert events, adults are $15 and students are $10.  For dinner shows, adults are $25, students in grades 6-12 are $20, and 5th grade and under are $15. 

Dinner will start with a Clue themed mocktail, followed by a meal of baked ziti, caesar salad, garlic bread, dessert, and water, tea, or coffee.

HELP NEEDED: I would love some help in getting desserts donated for the events.  There are some local businesses that I feel like would be willing to donate a dessert or two to the cause.  We also have some “grandma’s kitchen” folks that are also willing to help.  We just need to make those connections.  If you would be willing to contact a business, a grandma, or even donate a dessert yourself, please let me know.  If you don’t know who to call, I can help with that.  If our shows all sell out, we will need 320 servings for each weekend.  Please email me at gregory.franklin@lcsnc.org or call (704) 736-1017 ext. 25302 if you are willing to help me make some connections.

With prom being next weekend, our tech week is going to look a little different.  Below is the schedule for the remainder of the production.  If you would be willing to help provide a meal or snacks for one of our longer rehearsals, please visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C49ACAB29A3FECF8-clue to sign up.
