The workshop fee for each student is $47.00 This check should be payable to Tekamah-Herman High School. IF funds have been raised by your child to participate in this event, he or she will be notified in advance as to the amount that is still owed. (This applied to junior & senior high students from Tekamah-Herman.)
Each participant will wear a Young Americans t-shirt as part of their costume for the final performance. To purchase this shirt, the cost is $10.00. This will be paid directly to the Young Americans, so please be certain to make this check payable to: The Young Americans. If you do not wish to purchase a t-shirt, you may "rent" a t-shirt for the evening. In this case, please include $10.00 as a deposit & when the shirt is returned following the performance, the full amount will be returned to you.
We will be supplying meals each evening for the Young Americans and, as a convenience, we would like to make these meals available to the participants as well. If your son or daughter would like to eat the evening meals with the Young Americans, then please fill out the "meal section" of the registration form to indicate which meals you would like. You may choose to eat any of all of these meals. Please note: we must have an accurate coung of those who will be eating, so these meals must be included on your registration in order to be obtained. (Please include your meal payment, checks payable to Tekamah-Herman High School.) Directors - please indicate if you'd like meals when sending your student applications. Thank you. (Personal note: These meals are REALLY GOOD!)

Registration will take place in the Tekamah-Herman High School auditorium from 1-1:30 on Thursday, February 11th for anyone wishing to participate who has not yet registered. We also ask that all participants "check in" during this time frame. Please do not come early as we have many things to do to prepare for the workshop. Once the students are registered, we will ask them to wait quietly in the cafeteria or on stage in the auditorium. (The Young Americans will be setting up and rehearsing in the gymnasium.) Thursday's rehearsal will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. and last until 8:00 p.m. The students will be expected to return at 9:00 a.m. Friday morning and go until 4:00 p.m. that evening. Saturday will begin at 3:00 with the final perfomance beginning at 7:00 p.m.
The final performance will be held in the gymnasium at Tekamah-Herman High School (in Tekamah) on Saturday evening, February 13th. We are offering each participant the ability to pre-purchase tickets for the performance during the workshop. If you wish to pre-purchase tickets, you may do so by indicating tickets on the registration form (tickets will be delivered when Young Americans arrive). OR you may pre-purchase them directly from the Young Americans the second day of the workshop. Tickets for the evening performance ar $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for students. Seating will be general seating on a first come, first served basis. Please do not "hold" seats, as this becomes a theatre manager's nightmare. If there is someonewith special needs, please contact Mrs. Niewohner in advance and we will make accomodations as necessary. No tickets will be reserved. All must be paid for in advance in order to be purchased. No refunds will be made on pre-purchased tickets. *Host families of the Young Americans will receive 2 complimentary tickets and "front row seating" the evening of the performance.*
