WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL! We hope this message finds you well and you are excited for the upcoming school year ahead. There is so much to celebrate and so many exciting things around the corner we cannot wait to share with you. 

We are thrilled to introduce our new theatre director, Ms. Kelsey Schwarber and welcome her onto our team. Ms. Schwarber is a Cincinnati-based professional actor, teaching artist, and recent graduate of Xavier University (Go Muskies!). This year she will be teaching Scene Study and Freshman Acting as well as directing our mainstage productions. Although she has been here for a short time, the students have already made her feel so welcome and at home, and for that she is so grateful. 

Interviews and auditions for the fall musical, The Sound of Music, are just around the corner! 

These will be held August 28-30 in the theater from 3-6:15pm with callbacks on August 31 from 4-6pm. Our parent meetings for the production will be held September 12 and September 14 at 6:30pm in the Theater as well. Please note, parents and guardians only need to attend ONE of these meetings. Know of any male actors in grades 9-12? Send them our way to shine onstage as well! We are so excited to mount this classic and beloved musical for all to enjoy.
