Welcome to theatreCHS!

Parents, students, friends, and all:

HAPPY LABOR DAY! This past week was action packed, hopefully today offered everyone a chance to breath and have some downtime before it heats up again!

If you missed the first parent meeting, I’m hoping to have another one later this month. See below 👇 at bottom of email to review talking points of the school year including calendar of theatre related events.

This past week 3 different productions have started (Thats right) 3 ! So it is very likely that you have heard about auditions, after school rehearsals, tech Tuesday, CREW, and Improv.

If you have any questions about any of the above mentioned info, please feel free to give me a call or text: 434-218-8108

Have a great evening!
