As the fall semester is coming to an end, HS Theatre is not only finishing up but also heating up for next semester.
Last Saturday night, the Student Theatre Guild presented its first offering for the season: BlackBox! With the audience seated onstage, performers presented a variety show containing songs, monologues, scenes and improvisation by Soup Opera.
Also in the works: both the Student Theatre Guild and the Arts Department Theatre Program have held auditions in the past two weeks. The STG auditioned and cast 61 participants for the annual Scene Night Production.
These student actors will be directed by 12 student directors, and several of the scenes have been written by student playwrights. Add technicians, and Scene Night will involve 78 students. Performances are Thursday-Saturday, January 22-24.
