Not only do we want to show off our theater and program, we want to be gracious hosts to the eight Troupes and their audiences. Please go to Volunteers below and sign up. Students who volunteer will earn points as well!

DPA Directors and POPA Leadership Team

It was a great day of theater to watch our region compete with such talented kids and entertaining productions. FCHS won with Red (which was phenomenal) and our very own Jekyll & Hyde came out on top of all musicals that competed! We are so proud of Mr. Grizzle, the cast, and crew! Job well done!

The JH cast and crew is rehearsing on Saturday 10-6 and will be celebrating Thesgiving together immediately following. This is a potluck event and Troupe Officers will be asking for all cast and crew to sign up for a side or dessert to share. Mr. Grizzle is providing the turkey! More info soon!
