We put on a full-length musical and include students in all areas of the production. Students are encouraged to try to participate in any way possible. Options: cast, technical crew (lighting, sound, etc.), stage crew (back stage), costuming, and pit band. As a group we also help with publicity in conjuncture with the school Business dept.
