A handy guide for how to escape the law when you just happen to be a prime suspect of a mysterious murder.

Regardless of how you choose to drop off on the first day, you are welcome to participate in Curbside Drop Off in the future.
Pick Up will operate similarly to drop off. Pull into the next open spot in the car line. There may be a long line. Please look to Administrators for further directions if needed. When near the building, an Administrator will approach your vehicle and ask who you are picking up. Administrators will bring your student to your vehicle. If you park and approach the building, please wait until a Stages Theatre Company staff member dismisses your student to leave with them.
