Tuscan Show is our biggest, most fun event of the year! It’s a series of 2 and a half minute skits where our students are the stars and our parents and caregivers are the directors.
We need YOU to Direct! The show simply can NOT happen without our dedicated volunteer directors. You don’t need to be a Broadway star. If you ever made up a dance to a song with your friends or learned the choreo to your favorite music video, you’re qualified!
