Number the Stars In-School Performance

This is to purchase tickets for your child to see our Fall Drama production, Number the Stars at Dominion MS during the school day on Friday Nov. 14th at 1pm. The cost is $2 per student and the funds are being collected by their homeroom teacher (if in cash) or here online.

A frequent question that we get is...
"Why is there a cost for the show, when it’s during the school day?"

Here is why:
  1. Fundraiser: These shows are NOT supported financially by the school or district. Plays typically cost about $1,500 to put on (rights, costumes, building materials, props, etc.). This is a FUNDRAISER to pay for this and future productions. 
  2. Access: This is a way for students who may not have a ride back to school to come to see the show. This performance will be interpreted in ASL for our deaf and hard of hearing students.
    It’s cheaper to attend during the day - only $2 - versus the $3 they would pay at night.


Another question that we get is...
"What about those who don't bring in their $2 or don't have $2 to bring in?" 
  1. Scholarships are offered to those students who need it, when the homeroom teacher is made aware. There is an option when tickets are purchased to sponsor another child to go. 
  2. We make every effort, including providing ways for students to earn their ticket, with each homeroom teacher able to personally scholarship two students each.
  3. This is not a required event. It's an opportunity, not a reward, like the Students vs. Staff volleyball game, etc. We are giving more students the opportunity to attend the musical that almost 100 of their peers (1/8 of the school) are involved in.
  4. Those students that don't attend, go with a teacher from their grade level to catch up on work in a classroom. It's not a punishment.

We are excited to be able to offer this chance for students to see their peers in this musical production.

**Tickets for the AFTER-SCHOOL performance are $3 for students & $5 for adults, and can be ordered on a DIFFERENT LINK:

Synopsis

During the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, the Nazis closed down Jewish-owned businesses and began to round up the Jews for relocation to concentration camps for the final solution. Danish freedom fighters of all ages risked everything in daring, hurried attempts to rescue the entire Jewish population. In this stirring play, young Annemarie and Kirsti Johansen face soldiers, interrogations, fierce dogs, personal danger, the loss of loved ones and their own fears as they try to help their friend Ellen Rosen escape across the ocean to Sweden and safely. Courage, faith, ingenuity and even their fledgling acting skills eventually win the day. All the drama, pathos, adventure, terror and humor that have made Number the Stars a national best seller (and winner of the Newberry Award and the American Library Association Book of the Year Award) come to life in this powerful adaptation.
