In 2008-2009 there are some exciting changes in store.
Theater is now part of the Student Activities office, providing a one stop place for registration and ticket sales. This is a great step forward for the performing arts at Hopkins High School.
We will also be celebrating the remodeling of the little theater: new seats, new carpet, a fresh coat of paint and a few more lighting instruments will help us launch another great run of theater in this intimate thrust space.
We will offer a season ticket package for our loyal patrons
We will be planning "theater night's out" for students and families.
We will offer Theater at Three--after school workshops for beginners and advanced students.
And we will savor the talent, passion and hard work of our students as they share great stories with us.
Buy tickets. Bring your friends.
Join us at the theater.
