You’ve been begging for a well-deserved date night, and Mister John is ready to take the kiddos off your hands once again!
On Friday, October 3rd and Saturday, November 8th, drop off your (4+ year old) children at The School for Mister John’s Music Date Night Drop-Off and enjoy a glorious four hours to yourselves to do whatever you want! Go on a date, catch a grown-up show, enjoy a quiet dinner in… just be back by 9:00 pm.
Meanwhile, your kids will be fed (pizza and popsicles) and entertained. There will be music, a dance party, and a movie!
Register before it sells out (because you know it will).
