District 113 Summer Theatre

Summer Theatre 2009

It's not too early to start thinking about next summer.  Summer Theatre is an excellent opportunity to try new aspects of theatre or to continue honing the skills that were developed during the school year.  It is a chance for those who have done crew to try a position that requires more responsibility or different challenges.

 

 We will again follow the format of multiple short plays that allow for more versatility in casting. 

 

Please see Mr. Conway (HPHS) with questions.
