Commencement 2017 – Sold Out
Posted November 3, 2017
We have SOLD OUT the Avon Theatre for Waterloo-Oxford’s Commencement Ceremonies, 2017. This is exciting news, as it means that we will be celebrating the graduation of more of our students than ever before. However, it also means that in order to conform with fire codes and the theatre’s seating limit, tickets will be required for admittance. Please make sure that you have stored your tickets in a safe place and that you have them on your person before you leave home on the 17th. A valid ticket will be required for entrance to the theatre to attend Waterloo-Oxford’s commencement ceremonies.
We are also excited to announce that this year, we will be broadcasting the ceremonies LIVE, over the web. (More information will be available over the next few weeks.) We encourage people who are not able to make it to the theatre to get together, turn on their computers/televisions, and celebrate the class of 2017 with us.
