Week of BATP Schedule (May 6-May 10)

Attire for BATP 2025

Each student will receive a green Broadway at the Paramount 2025 t-shirt from us for them to keep! They should bring/wear black bottoms (pants, shorts, skirt, etc.) and black shoes (jazz shoes, sneakers... as long as they are closed toed and black, we are not picky!). We recommend students bring their shoes they plan to wear for the show to rehearsal so they can get used to what it's like to rehearse and perform in the same shoes!

We would love for all students to dress up in something nice for our finale! The color scheme for this number is black, gold, red or white. If they plan on changing, they should bring undergarments as there is not a private changing space. This finale outfit can be what they wear for the red carpet!

They do not need to bring/wear their provided items until FRIDAY NIGHT.

TLDR: Attire is green BATP 2025 t-shirt (provided by DMR), black bottoms & black shoes (provided by you), dressy finale outfit (provided by you) in the color scheme of black, gold, red or white.

Broadway at the Paramount is DMR Adventure’s year-end showcase celebrating our shows and programs, along with our season announcement for the following year. This event features Broadway and local performing artists, and over 100 DMR students in two performances, celebrating arts education. Hosted at The Paramount Theater in downtown Charlottesville, it offers a chance for students to perform alongside a Broadway Guest Artist and peers, culminating in a unique showcase. The program includes scenes and songs from productions that have been a part of our MainStage season (and more. Special performances by our JTF Troupe and YAS! Youth After School participants are also highlights. The event supports our mission by raising funds for our scholarship program.

What is the time commitment?

The commitment varies based on student interest and availability. Students from the 2023-2024 season will rehearse their show's number in assigned slots.

All participants must be available on May 10th for both 2 PM and 7:30 PM shows, except for YAS! students only performing with YAS!.
