EXTRAVAGANZA 2023 Are you excited to see what's behind the curtains? So are we! Extravaganza 2023 is on! For decades, Extravaganza has showcased Douglas Anderson's uncommonly talented students not only for each other and their families, but for people who appreciate and support the arts from throughout the community. This is it, people. This is the BIG ONE of the year, the grand evening that shows the world how bright the stars at DA shine! And YOU have a chance to shine by purchasing an ad in the Extravaganza 2023 program! Send your student a shout-out, congratulate your department, faculty or crew, or show that your business supports the arts (customers love that!). It's up to you, but whatever you choose, thousands of other supporters of the arts (and local businesses!) will see it. Best of all, proceeds support whichever department you choose, so you're pouring your support back into these exceptional art programs. BUT DON'T WAIT! The Deadline is January 13th! Ad dollars go directly to the arts area that sold the ad. A student can earn 10% of the ad value towards THIS YEAR'S enrichment fees! |
