Show Opportunities
Every year, we produce three main shows. This year, we are beginning the season with the ghoulish community musical The Addams Family, which will be followed by the high school show The Mental State. In the spring, we will conclude the season with the The Green Bird, another high school production.

Last fall, we produced the student musical Bye Bye Birdie, the community Shakespeare Shattered, Part Deux (an original and creative take on the Bard's work) in the winter, and the student play The Good Doctor in the spring.
Aside from the three main shows, we also open up opportunities for more unique theatrical experiences. Every year, we allow several students to cast and direct self-selected one acts. During December, Mainstage theatre joins together with R.A. Long and Mark Morris choirs to put on a Madrigal Dinner, a medieval themed show and banquet for the audience. In May, Extreme Theatre gives our students the chance to write, cast, direct, rehearse, and perform their own show . . . in only 24 hours. It's called Extreme for a reason.
