WHS Theatre Department… a good place to get involved! Did you know that the theatre department provides many opportunities for WHS students to get involved in ALL aspects of producing a play or musical? In a typical year, the department sponsors 6 fully produced shows, plus various smaller projects (in addition to hosting a drama club and a playwriting club). We need students who love to sing, dance and act. But we also need students who are interested in building elaborate sets, stage managing, handling lighting and props, costuming, writing and more! No experience, no problem – we are happy to train you!
