The 2025 OHS Variety Show will be on

Saturday, January 25th at 2pm

at the Klein Auditorium in Bridgeport

Tickets will go on sale in three rounds:

Round 1: Monday 12/2 -12/3 - Families with a performer in the show can buy up to 4 tickets in Round 1. This includes stage crew, narrators and students just in the fifth grade finale. Performers do not need a ticket but all chaperones (even if they are sitting with the groups) need a ticket. There will be no comped tickets this year. If you were hoping for more than 4 tickets, don’t worry! We are hopeful that there will be a round 3.

Round 2: Wednesday 12/4-12/5 - Families without a performer in the show can buy up to 3 tickets. This round is specifically for our OHS students and chaperones who are not in the show but want to go and cheer on their friends. As this is a school-wide event, we want to make sure any otter interested in attending can get a ticket.

Probable Round 3: Monday 12/9 - If there are enough tickets left for a Round 3, it will be open to everyone. Restrictions may apply and will be detailed after Round 2 is over.

Ticket FAQ's:

Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable. In order to transfer, ticket holders will need to coordinate on their own and give the hard copy tickets that they receive at the dress rehearsal to the recipient.
There are only 4 tickets allowed per performer family in the first round. If you attempt to buy more in the first round, or if you attempt to purchase any in round 2, there is a chance you will not be able to use them and we will not be able to reimburse you.
If your child is not in the show, please DO NOT purchase tickets in Round 1. We will not be able to reimburse you and your tickets will be invalid. You will need to purchase tickets again in Round 2.
Every single person that comes to the show needs a ticket. Due to fire codes there is absolutely no lap sitting.
Strollers will need to be left in the lobby.
The price of tickets includes credit card processing and transaction fees.
Please do not think it will go unnoticed if you buy more than your allotment per family or if you try to purchase during the wrong round. We watch and account for every single ticket and you will be contacted.

Talk to me about key dates:

Week of December 2 - Ticket Sales - Again, we hate adding something to your plate this month. Part of our motivating move to January was more ticket availability but we can’t wait until January to make sure we are covered here. With 500+ more tickets this should not be an issue but we want to make sure we are prepared.

December 16 - Deadline to email your music and group picture to the variety show email address. Music in mp3 form and group picture in jpeg form.

January 6 - Is your child a budding artist? Have them submit art for the Variety Show program. It's a wonderful opportunity for children who are not involved in the show to participate. All of the submissions are then posted on the new PTA Bulletin Board right across from the APR (just by the bathrooms)! This January date gives the kids winter break to work on their submissions. Art should be done on white paper in a black sharpie (regular or fine point, both work)

January 25 - Showtime! 2pm at the Klein Theater, 910 Fairfield Ave, Bridgeport Group check in will be from 1:00-1:30. Doors will open for the audience at 1:30.

***About the January date - we didn’t mean to create a stir at the start of the year. We just feel strongly that since this is a school-wide program, that everyone in the school be able to attend. We had to turn away students who weren’t in the show who wanted to go watch and support their friends last year. It was such a bummer. It was also completely bonkers making sure immediate family of performers all had tickets. The move to the Klein gives us more seating and hopefully we are all very happy with this change. If we try it and decide Black Rock Church is in fact a better fit, we can always revisit this.
