How old do I need to be?

The graduation show is at the Funny Bone, which is 21 and up.

Can I split the payment?

Yes. Every option can be paid in full or in 3 payments.

Who gets the 3-camera video?

Showcase and Headliner students, or anyone who adds it for $199. You get your full set edited, plus short clips sized for social media.
