ANNUAL RECITAL EXPENSES

Most people don't realize what it costs to put on a show such as ours. We recently saw an area ballet school actually post their expenses publicly in the paper for a concert performance this past winter which we actually thought was a great idea. This may help people understand why we charge for tickets.
