IGNITE Youth Theatre Performance Dates Survey

We are seeking feedback from the community about the performance dates for our IGNITE Youth Theatre performances of The Little Mermaid.  Our ILLUSIONS Dance Team may have the honor of competing at Worlds Dance Competition this summer that would conflict with our typical IGNITE weekend - July 28-30, 2023.  We are considering moving the IGNITE performances to the following weekend - August 4-6, 2023 to accommodate participation in both events.
