 Due to the high-quality programs, word has spread to our sister state, Virginia, and citizens of Virginia have requested that KAASM and the  Foundation conduct programs and presentations for their communities as well.  This is a GREAT opportunity for Southern Maryland to show how highly  regarded our cultural arts activities are not just here, but throughout the  DC Metro area; it is truly an accomplishment, considering the amount of  high-quality programs that are already offered in Virginia!  This sharing  of cultural presentations and community interest provide a valuable platform  for Southern Maryland to come together to work toward common, shared  interests across state lines.  For this reason, we have invited public  leaders from both Virginia and Maryland. 

In addition, because our educators are increasingly working in culturally diverse classrooms and are  one of the most important pillars in teaching cross-cultural education and  understanding, admission is free to all Virginia and Maryland educators.

 Instructions for all Maryland and Virginia educators who would like to attend:

 Space for this event is limited, so we can only offer free tickets to  educators on a first come first serve basis.  They must RSVP by Friday,  September 7, to attend.

All Virginia and Maryland educators are free of charge with registration  and official school ID, but all other attendees must pay the $60 ticket  charge.

If educators are interested in attending, please send the following  information to tammy.pantages@hotmail.com:

 Full Name:

 School Name:

 Contact phone number:

 Email address:

 Additional guests:

 Once educators have registered, their tickets will be made available the  night of the performance upon entrance.   In order to be admitted, you  must bring your school system ID for verification.

 If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Tammy Pantages at 703.507.4492.
