The schools productions are open to the entire student body and attract talents from performers, builders, designers,
and anyone with an interest in theatre. Students are welcome to take theatre classes that integrate the program with
their daily schedule. They can acquire points through the shows which earn them membership into the International
Thespian Honor Society. Along with acting on stage, students can earn points and membership into the society by
working with our popular and hardworking stage crew. Numerous adults work with the shows to help all of the students
succeed, and we rely on their dedication to create a successful production.

2011-2012
Theatre Season
Ticket sales alone cannot cover the cost of producing our shows. We depend on patron donations, program ads,
and student activity fees. They are our most effective forms of fundraising. The average play costs around
$10,000 to mount, the average musical $30,000.
The support and encouragement we receive from the community through volunteering, subscribing to an ad in
the program, becoming a Patron, or being part of the audience is critical to our program. Your contribution is
deeply valued and much appreciated.
