Theatre Posters: Clue with figures standing with instruments and Mamma Mia! with a girl in white dress

Welcome Back to All Drama Students and Welcome, Prospective Drama Students

  • Oct. 17, 18 & 24, 25 Fall Play: Clue
    • It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, CLUE is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
  • Mid Season Addition: Unified Theater!
    • Unified Theater dissolves typical barriers between youth through transformative, school-based, performing arts programming. In Unified Theater, young people with and without disabilities, of all backgrounds, come together as equals to put on a production. The concept is simple: Empower youth to lead, let creativity rule, and put the Spotlight on Ability.
  • Spring Musical: Mamma Mia!
  • Final Production will be our beloved Student One-Act Festival. 
    • All one-acts will be written, directed, designed, and performed by our talented drama students.
