Love to act? This is the place for you! The Spring Play is held every March or April and is the culmination of months of rehearsal.

Auditions are usually held in November or December with rehearsals starting in January. It is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. This experience is unlike many community theaters where everyone is cast in the show. We are unable to do that and students should prepare for auditions as much as possible. This is a great experience that builds friendships, confidence, and an understanding of theaters at a higher level.

We also create a production team and technical crew.  There are many different aspects of the theater and we look to encourage students to investigate these various areas.
