PoPS invites you to “Be Chair-itable” and contribute to our TAKE A SEAT Campaign!

PARENTS of PERFORMING ARTS STUDENTS AT BIGELOW! PoPS invites you to “Be Chair-itable” and contribute to our TAKE A SEAT Campaign!

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST ENDEAVOR HELPING ENRICH THE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCES OF OUR CHILDREN & THEIR AUDIENCES, & MANY MORE AFTER THEM!

Two years ago, the inaugural year of PoPS, we helped raise the funds to install the sound system in the theater at Bigelow. This year, we are committed to replacing the folding chairs with better seats which interlock, and stack, making setting up & storage much simpler.

As a special fundraiser initiative, 
we invite you to make a donation to 
“TAKE A SEAT” 
and secure a ticket to Man of La Mancha (On March 13, 14 and 15)
at the same time. 

The musical typically sells out, so this idea makes sense!

Everyone who makes a donation will be thanked in the program. Even if you donate one dollar, it will all go towards a much needed addition to the school, not just for plays or concerts but for any assembly or school wide event that uses the auditorium.  

AND, as a special incentive!:

  • THE FIRST 50 PEOPLE to pledge a donation of $20-99 will receive one free ticket to one performance.
  • THE FIRST 14 pledges of $100 or more will receive two free tickets AND WILL HAVE TWO SEATS RESERVED FOR THEM WITH THEIR NAME ON THEM IN THE 2ND OR 3RD ROW OF THE FRONT SECTION OF SEATS IN THE THEATER!  ** These seats will be allocated on a first come, first served basis **

So, 14 pairs of seats will be available on Thursday, and on Friday, and on Saturday to be reserved by the first 14 participants who wish to pledge $100.  Please note: in order to give as many people the opportunity to have seats reserved, only one pair of reserved seats will be allocated per donor so specify the night you prefer. 

Tickets will be available as usual to all, whether or not they take part or not in this fundraiser. 

We are sending this information out to all of the cast, crew and band members first; in another week, it will be posted to the general Bigelow community on the PTO newsletter.  DEADLINE FOR ALL TAKE-A-SEAT PLEDGES WILL BE MONDAY, MARCH 10th, in order for donors names to be put in the theater program.  

To make your pledge, email me back in the first instance so that I can allocate your ticket and make sure your name will appear in the program. Once all pledges are in, I will be able to email you if you are one of the lucky recipients of the name-tagged reserved seating! We will then tell you how you can pay.
Best wishes to you all as we head into the home stretch of rehearsals, and many thanks in advance for your participation in this new PoPS endeavor.
