Our mainstage program for children in grades 2-8 meets 2 days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:15-5:45 beginning September 9th, 2025, and culminates in two performances on the stage at Coronado High School on Wednesday, November 19th, and Thursday, November 20th. All students MUST be able to attend both performances and ALL of tech/dress rehearsals. Rehearsals may be held at different locations and all information will be communicated to you before the first rehearsal via email. Please note that some students may not be called to each rehearsal based on our venue for that day. These reduced number rehearsals will be limited to no more than 4 rehearsals. Extra rehearsals will be held the week before the shows for tech and dress rehearsals and are MANDATORY for all students involved. These extra rehearsals are as follows: Wednesday, November 12th 4-7pm, Thursday, November 13th 4-7pm, Tuesday, November 18th DRESS REHEARSAL 4-8pm. Attendance is critical for the overall success of this production, so you must commit to having your child at all rehearsals, barring any family emergencies.

Frequently asked questions
We allow 2 absences and they CANNOT be during our final two weeks. This is so that all involved in the production know exactly what they need to do onstage. Tech rehearsals and dress rehearsals are critical to the success of the show.
No. While we know that parents love to be a part of the creative process, we find that children are more comfortable coming out of their shells and discovering new techniques without the pressure of a parent watching. We want to show you the final product at the performance!
All communication will be through email. Be sure to check daily for any possible location or scheduling updates! We will be using the email that you use to register, so please be sure that it is the best contact email for you. If you'd like to have another parent's email on our list, let us know!
Yes. We require parents to volunteer through either donating items for our opportunity baskets or signing up to be part of our committees (costumes, promotions, props, front of house, etc.). A parent meeting will be held on the first day of rehearsal at 5:15pm to go over all of these opportunities.
Yes, but you must request that refund via email (sdplaygroundplayers@gmail.com) if you choose to drop your child from the program. You will have until September 8th to request this refund. After this date, no refunds will be given.
