Attention high school students? Do you like to create, design, and bring those creations to life? Maybe you have always been interested in theatre, but the idea of performing hinders you from participating in a course or production. Well, listen to this! Next year there will be a high school technical theatre course offered for any student in grades 9-12. There is no pre-requisite to sign up. In this class we will go over set and costume design and construction, lighting design, publicity/marketing, a business career in theatre, and more! Ask your guidance counselor about more information and how to sign up in your meeting for scheduling next year’s classes. You can also see Mrs. Sweet with any questions!
