Here’s a few photos from SCHS Theatre’s Princess Party that we held on Saturday afternoon. We loved watching all the beautiful lil princesses and princes make wands, color pictures, get their face painted, get a temporary tattoo, and enjoy cookies & lemonade! The kids got to take a picture with the cast and it was fun to see our high school students interacting with the kids! 👸✨💕

Congratulations to the entire team behind Cinderella!

What an incredible production! From the talented performers on stage to the dedicated crew working behind the scenes, this show was truly something special! The hard work, creativity, and passion of all involved brought the magic of Cinderella to life. Thank you to our community for coming out to support the production and these students.

The photo below is from the closing show where we recognized our seniors while they shared their exciting plans for the future. Once a part of this theatre family, always a part of it. We can’t wait to see where your journeys take you next!
