It is with great pleasure that we announce the return of our PS 101 Drama Show on Tuesday, June 6th at 6:30 PM sharp. Doors open at 6:00 PM. Please join us in the audience to cheer on the PS 101 cast in their performance of Don’t Tell Me Don’t!

In partnership with ExpandEd, we look forward to this opportunity to celebrate our students’ hard work in theater arts. Get ready for a spectacular performance with our third, fourth, and fifth graders singing, dancing, and acting.

Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Purchase your tickets now before they are sold out! Tickets are $4 each! All ticket sales proceeds go towards supporting PS 101.

Here’s how you can purchase a ticket:

  • Parent letters will be sent home with your child with a return slip for you to fill out how many tickets you want to purchase. Please check your child’s folders for the letter.
  • Return the slip with tickets payment (enclosed in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and class) to your child’s teacher.
  • Tickets will then be sent home with your child on the day prior to the drama show date.

Kindly note, if you purchase a ticket for school-age children, they must be accompanied by an adult for admittance. There is no guarantee that tickets will be sold at the door. If we are sold out with pre-ticket sales and reach maximum seating, tickets will not be sold at the door. A food concession stand will be open with an assortment of snacks and drinks.

If you should have any questions or concerns, please contact our Parent Coordinator, Ms. Bing Xing Lin at 1-347–563–4680 or via email at BLin9@schools.nyc.gov.

We look forward to having you join us for the show.
