What’s Academy Night Live!?
Glad you asked! This year, we’re taking the best of Showcase and Gala and remixing it into one must-watch event.
Academy Night Live! is an evening of interactive entertainment, featuring incomparable live student performances and other fabulous artistic content from each department and opportunities to win prizes, bid on luxe packages, and “hang out” online with The Academy community.
The event will include dinner and snack packages, raffle drawings, an online and live auction with amazing prizes, and cool swag.
