Answers to some Frequently Asked Questions

1.  Do CAPA shows have assigned seating?    Yes all shows.

2.  Can I choose my seats?  Sometimes.  If you order your tickets online using our Box Office system, you may choose the exact seats you sit in. If you phone your order in or use a ticket order form, you can request seats, however we can not guarantee those seats are available.

3.  Can I shoot my own video or record sound ?  No - Video Taping and recording is prohibited. You are however allowed to take still pictures.  Flash photography is not allowed!!

4.  What time should I come to the show if I'm picking up my tickets? The box office will open one hour prior to show time.  CAPA shows start at 7:30 PM.

5.  I want to be more involved with CAPA,  I volunteered and no one has called me why not ?  There are several different volunteer jobs for each show.  Some of these tasks are needed early in the production others later.  Some jobs get taken care of right away and the job you volunteered for may not be needed right now.  Come to the next PROCAPA meeting and find out in more detail how you can help.  PROCAPA meetings are held on the third Monday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the Black Box the entire year (yes even in the summer).  On occasion if needed that date will be changed with advance notice on this website. 

6.  Just what is PROCAPA anyway ?  PROCAPA is a parent / guardian group formed by Ms. Mack several years ago to help her and the CAPA staff with the many tasks needed for shows and their production.  If you have a child in CAPA ( Dance, Theatre or Voice) you are encouraged to become a member of PROCAPA.   PROCAPA is seeking better ways to communicate with it's members and is always looking for ideas and ways to help promote CAPA and keep it a strong and vibrant part of the Livonia Public Schools.   

7.  I want to subscribe to the mailing list, is my e-mail address safe with CAPA ?  Yes - CAPA will not share your e-mail.  A new way of sending out e-mail to members has been adopted.  Not even other members of the e-mail list will get your e-mail address from CAPA.   Anyone who chooses to be removed from the list,  will be immediately.

8.  Where is the Black Box located ?  The Black Box is located in the front of the building next to the Carli Auditorium at  Churchill. 

9. Where is Carli Auditorium ( Churchill's main auditorium) located ?  Churchill High School is located at 8900 Newburgh rd., Livonia.  Just north of Joy rd. east side of Newburgh.  Carli Auditorium can be found as soon as you enter the main entrance to the school off Newburgh.

10. I have not seen any pictures of my child on the web site.  Why not ?  Livonia Public Schools requires permission of parents (The CAPA Contract) to be submitted by students signed by their parents before their picture will be on the web site.  The webmaster tries to showcase as many students as possible.  Early into the season, we have no pictures of freshmen, that is why they are not on the web site right now. (But they will be)  As a point of information,  Livonia Public Schools does not permit the posting of students names on the web site.

11. I have a child that would like to audition for CAPA but is afraid they won't get in because they have no prior training.  How much emphasis is placed on formal training prior to joining CAPA ? Dance candidates need to have some ballet training, even if they get it just prior to entering CAPA.   CAPA is more interested in attitude and desire than ones prior training.  Remember you are joining CAPA to be professionally trained.   

12. I ordered tickets online.  How do I know CAPA received my order ?  If you placed your order through our online box office and provided an e-mail address, you will instantly receive a receipt and your tickets right in your e-mail inbox. If you placed your order over the phone or using a ticket order form and provided an e-mail address, your tickets and receipt will also be e-mailed to you as soon as your order is processed.  If you do not provide an e-mail address, you will only receive a phone call if there is a problem with your order.  If you are unsure of your ticket order status, feel free to call the box office manager at 734-516-9749.

13. I ordered tickets online and received a confirmation.  I want to order some more tickets.  How do I let CAPA ticket sales know this is a new order and not a re-order ?  Just place the new order online or call the box office to place your order.  Once your original order is processed, those seats are saved with your name and contact information, making it pretty hard for confusion to occur!

14. My child is already in CAPA will she have to re-audition every year to stay in CAPA?  NO candidates for CAPA audition only once to get into the program.
