Chatham High School teacher Candace Hull said there are 100 tickets available for senior citizens, on a first-come, first-served basis for the show, which is happening at the high school’s Performing Arts Center on 255 Lafayette Avenue, with free parking at the high school.

Hull said this year, because of COVID-19 restrictions, seniors who come will be given a “Tea Party for Two” bag packed with “specialty cookies from a local baker,” that they can take home to enjoy.

There’s a reserved seating area for the seniors in the front of the auditorium and they don’t need tickets, with seating in the Performing Arts Center at half capacity during all shows. There won’t be assigned seating, Hull added, where attending senior citizens can sit with their friends. Though COVID-19 vaccination proof is not mandatory, all audience members need to wear masks during the performances.

For the show on Nov. 18, Sense and Sensibility tickets are also available for sale at $5 per student and $12 per adult. There are also tickets for the Friday Nov. 19 and Saturday Nov. 20 shows at 7:30 p.m. for students and seniors at $10 each and adults at $12 per person.
