As a raving lunatic holds the world at bay with the ultimate weapon on destruction, it's up to brilliant, yet utterly clumsy, chief inspector Jacques Clouseau to fight for the future of all mankind. Watch as the blissfully unaware Clouseau stumbles and slips by every attack from both deatly assassins and beautiful secret agents.

Tickets will be $2 per person. ALL tickets must be purchased by your student the week prior to the Show. They will not be available for purchase through the mail or ordered over the phone.

Each show requires eight judges--four parents and four students. Judges are chosen through random selection the week before Family Weekend. If chosen, you will receive all judging information in your packets at the registration table. Free admission and reserved seating is provided for judges and their spouses.
