Theatre Arts

The department mounts two major productions each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. All students may audition for and be in these shows. Shows are directed by Mrs. Wilson or by guest artists. Rehearsals are usually from 3:30-6:00 pm. We try to work around sports but this can be a problem. We occasionally use a 6:00-9:00 pm rehearsal slot so that we do not interfere with after-school sports.
