2. Pay your Variety Show 2026 Cast Participation Dues by Dec 4.

   • $80 per cast member

   • $45 to bring a +1 to the final cast party

These modest dues are what enable the magic to happen! They help cover the costs for McKenzie Teacher & Custodian Appreciation Gifts (dealing with a school full of dirty parents for 2 months is no small task!); AND all the fun VS community events the Social Committee is planning—from venues and equipment rentals to great food and world-class entertainment.

*FYI - adult beverages are NOT included as part of the dues and are handled via BYOB collections at a later date

Watch for an invitation to join the VS2026 What’s App Group to stay informed of updates.
