SUMMARY:Special Event: Jersey Boys
DESCRIPTION:Details: \n\n\n\nThe original Broadway sensation returns to the road! Celebrating 20 years – Jersey style! \n\n\n\nThey were just four guys from Jersey\, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage\, off stage it was a very different story — a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including “Sherry\,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry\,” “Oh What a Night\,” “Walk Like a Man\,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You\,” “Beggin’” and “Working My Way Back to You.”  \n\n\n\nGo behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the Tony Award®-winning\, original Broadway sensation\, JERSEY BOYS.  From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\, this is the musical that’s too good to be true. \n\n\n\nThis performance will be taking place in the Andrew Jackson Hall at TPAC.  Our group has been granted a student group discounted rate for this performance. There are two ticket options available. Ticket A is located in the middle Tier for $56 per ticket. Ticket B is located in the middle/rear Tier for $40 per ticket. This group pricing discount will save you money versus purchasing individually through the box office. This production is scheduled to begin at 1 pm. \n\n\n\nTickets must be picked up from Will Call/Box Office with a photo I.D. ideally no later than 30 minutes before the show starts. This is a special event which means we do not meet as a group. However\, our group seats will be located in close proximity to one another. Each family that purchases tickets will indeed have seats next to each other. If multiple families are going together\, it is important that you notify Jennifer that you want tickets next to each other. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Do your own research before determining if this show is suitable for your kids\, each family is different. \n\n\n\nRSVP and payment for guaranteed seats are due by 5 pm on July 13\, 2026\, unless they sell out sooner. \n\n\n\nTickets may be able to be secured after the due date only if seats are still available. Contact Jennifer after the due date so she can check directly with the venue. This trip requires a minimum to proceed. \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nTennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) \n\n\n\nRules & Regulations: \n\n\n\nEach individual attending this trip/event must have a ticket purchased directly from Nashville Homeschool Calendar by the ticket purchase deadline. If tickets are not secured through Nashville Homeschool Calendar by such deadline\, individuals will not be permitted to participate in the trip/event. Walk-ins or individuals who purchase tickets outside of Nashville Homeschool Calendar (contacting the venue directly) will not be accepted as part of the group. \n\n\n\nNo refunds available due to the short ticket sale window.  Admin fees are non-refundable. \n\n\n\nBookings open May 8\, 2026 to Premium Members and May 16\, 2026 to Standard Members.

SUMMARY:Special Event: Phantom of the Opera
DESCRIPTION:Details: \n\n\n\nThe Phantom is back to thrill audiences once again! Cameron Mackintosh presents a revitalized new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical\, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA\, which was rapturously received by London critics when it reopened in 2021. Featuring Maria Björnson’s brilliant original design and based on the celebrated direction of Harold Prince\, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne.  \n\n\n\nTHE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history\, playing to over 160 million people in 47 territories and 195 cities in 21 languages. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic\, haunting\, and soaring score includes “The Music of the Night\,” “All I Ask of You\,” “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again\,” “Masquerade\,” and the iconic title song. It tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerized by the talents and beauty of a young soprano\, Christine\, The Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine’s love for Raoul\, The Phantom’s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy\, madness\, and passions collide. \n\n\n\nThis performance will be taking place in the Andrew Jackson Hall at TPAC.  Our group has been granted a student group discounted rate for this performance.

SUMMARY:Special Event: Beetlejuice
