Summer Theatre 2007

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.

 

Summer Theatre will be held at Deerfield High School in the Studio Theatre.  We will again follow the format of multiple hort plays that allow for more versatility in casting. 

 

Please see Mr. Conway(HPHS) or Eric Garneau (DHS) with questions.

 

Here is the District Website for Summer School:
