What’s APAning

Do you have tickets to an APA show this year?

As always, we are grateful for your support of the arts and our amazing students, who more than anything wish they were performing these shows for you and finishing out their season, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, district campuses and venues are closed until further notice.

Here is our problem, and how you can potentially help:

Our productions of Beauty and the Beast and Alice in Wonderland were stopped at the very last minute, after the productions were complete, sets built, costumes rented, auxiliary staff paid, etc. We are always working on slim margins to create professional quality productions for our audience as well as professional opportunities for students.

Please see the above graphic for our breakdown of expenses.

In other words, the money it took to bring these shows to the stage has already been spent. So, we have some options for those of you wonderful ticket holders:

• If you would like to REQUEST A REFUND, we completely understand and ask that you please click on/fill out this form no later than Monday, April 6th. tinyurl.com/APA-TICKET-REFUND. ** While we will do our best to complete transactions in a timely manner, unforeseen delays may arise. Thank you for your patience, flexibility and cooperation during this challenging set of circumstances. **
• If you would like to DONATE YOUR TICKET FUNDS TO SUPPORT APA, and receive a TAX DONATION RECEIPT for this purchase, please email swest@hbuhsd.edu and we will send you a tax receipt. Thank you for considering this option as it will go a long way towards ensuring we are able to continue the APA program, as well as present outstanding shows next year, and for years to come.

Didn’t buy tickets but you still want to help APA?

Maybe you are in a position where you would like help. You could do so by making a TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION that would go 100% to support the APA program, to the EEFA Foundation (tax ID #45-1450071, Educational Enrichment Foundation for the Arts). Here is EEFA’s website with their PayPal Giving Link: eefa4arts.org.

You can also mail check donations directly: EEFA - 1905 Main St, Huntington Beach, CA 92648.

Again, we cannot thank you enough for your support of our programs and our students. We hope to be back on track with our productions as soon as possible, and will keep you all up to date on any other developments in regards to our upcoming events.
