If they do, they should give passes free to immediate family.

We supported all the charter school concerts and plays and paid to sit on a hard little chair, or the bleachers, to watch the very talented and delightful children on a tiny stage. We have no dog in this fight, no children of ours performing, but we love to watch them and I am really pleased that they are being allowed to use the Sharon for their performances. I think it must be so exciting for them to perform on a real stage, with a real audience seated before them. I'll pay just for the pleasure of seeing such young talent and delightfully engaged children.
May I respectfully suggest that you take this question of $10 per head to someone at the school and see if they could do a rehearsal performance on the school stage for parents who just cannot afford to spend that much money for a whole family to watch the child performing?
