Dear Parents and Students,

We are all getting excited about The Royal Showcase being held Saturday Feb. 28 at The James B. White Performing Arts Center-on the campus of Clearwater Central Catholic High School in Clearwater. The Dress Rehearsal begins at noon and The Royal Showcase begins at 7:30PM. The students are doing an amazing job on the roles. This production is being done differently than Cinderella and The Royal Nutcracker as there are no back drops or scenery and the students are showcasing a variety of roles. Every opportunity to perform has tremendous value and builds a resume.

Costumes: Costumes fees are due Feb. 16-19 and the rental price is the same as last year $25 per costume. We could use some help on the Costume Committee.

Cinderella roles are listed with the Cinderella Audition form. We emailed them out and also have hard copies at the front desk. Don’t forget to turn in your Cinderella Audition form as Cinderella is being cast during regular classes this month. If you want first choice on roles for Cinderella that form must be filled out and returned right away. This production will be a LAVISH FULL SCALE PRODUCTION WITH SPECTACULAR SCENERY, SPECIAL EFFECTS AND A HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE!

$50 THANK YOU REFERRAL CREDIT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL VALENTINE’S DAY. WE HAVE HAD 6 LOVELY NEW FAMILIES REFERRED-THANK YOU!

We have Summer Workshops with Early Bird Prices starting at just $99.00 for an entire week of classes. EVERY participant gets a trophy at the end of the week. Workshops are from 9-3PM with before and after care available at an additional fee. We also have Intensives and Extreme Intensives going on this summer. Miss Nina is also interested in having an Int/Adv. Workshop on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the month of July. Hard copies of Summer Workshops and Intensives are available at the front desk with Early Bird pricing and regular pricing.

Please remember that it is each parent’s responsibility to check RAFA’s website weekly for updates-emails are sent as a courtesy-but they are not 100% reliable. The website is RAFAFL.com.

Tuition is due on or before the first of each month and a 10% late fee will apply. Tuition is broken down into monthly payments as a courtesy but is due for the entire semester. You can pay the entire semester through June if you wish.
