Due to a snafu with the Panda Express manager, we can only order online using code 3856198 in the fundraiser code box. You can do it in advance and pickup or do it at the store.

You don’t need an excuse to get some Orange Chicken, but now you have one!

JAVA GALA 16 - Choose Your Own AVPA Adventure

Saturday, June 1, 2-5pm
Robert Frost Auditorium

AVPA presents Java Gala 16 - Choose Your Own AVPA Adventure - on Saturday, June 1. The format brings a brand new performance experience to our audience. Beginning at 2pm, patrons can explore and choose their options of performances and presentations from all our AVPA schools that take place across the CCHS campus. 

Follow our “Mad Hatter” student tour guides who will help you explore, interact, and observe our students in action. 

How it’ll work:

From 2pm to 3pm, patrons can explore the various exhibitions and performances throughout the Culver High campus, following a path that will lead to choosing your own AVPA Adventure. Check out a live film shoot in a hallway, enjoy live music in the parking lot, see dance and theatre perform inside and outside the rooms they learn and rehearse in. The Music Studio will have Music Tech students working on recording projects and demonstrating their work. And stop by the student garden for a little AVPA tea party. 

At 3pm, the Java Gala reception will take place outside the Frost with refreshments and visual art exhibited by our talented students. There will be our traditional raffle baskets from each AVPA School, filled with valuable items. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase in advance with your admission ticket, or throughout the afternoon. 

At 3:30pm, we’ll move into the Robert Frost Auditorium for the 2nd Act - a showcase and celebration of AVPA, ending with a special medley of musical hits. 

RESERVED SEAT TICKETS: $30 for adults, $10 for students.

Bundle your admission ticket with our Raffle tickets! We have 6 amazing baskets - one from each AVPA School and one overall AVPA basket.
