Performance Schedule

Dewdrops and Frogs are in the following performances. Please note that the times listed below are performer drop off and pick up times, not the actual show times.

Please arrive on time but do not arrive earlier than the listed times. If students are late or will be absent for any reason, please text 310-237-8790 with student name and role. PLEASE NOTE, pick up times are five to ten minutes after shows end. There are circumstances that we cannot control that affect how long a live performance may last, so these times are estimates, and performances sometimes run late. PARKING MAY BE A CHALLENGE during the holidays. Please arrive early to find parking as you may not double park by the stage door. The website parksj.org is a great resource and will direct you to open parking places.
