Auditions- It is required to have all forms and payment (or payment plan/waiver forms) at auditions.  All conflicts must be given at auditions.  Forms posted the first week of school.  

Tech Crew Sign Ups- begin at auditions on September 6th.  Students will be required to fill out registration forms and present tech crew fee.   

Mandatory Parent/Student Meeting - September 7th, 6:30 P.M. Requirement of all students participating in fall show in cast or tech.  The school strongly urges both parents and students attend, but it is required that either one be at this meeting.  

Tech Week - No conflicts are allowed during tech week.  Exceptions may be met with a casting or production position change.  

Rake & Take- Student fundraiser that needs adult support.  Participation by students is a requirement of our program, and earns you credit toward receiving your Theatre Arts Varsity Letter.  A fun way to raise a substantial amount of money for the program, this event connects us directly with our supporters in the community.  Students participate in phone banking and yard leaf cleanups.  Adults with trucks, leaf blowers, and rakes are asked to give some of their time to help support.  Last year we raised over $4,000 in collections and donations.  

Spring Show: (Legally Blonde) We are in the process of rescheduling the spring play; originally scheduled during religious observances.  

METG Festival - The festival piece this year will be directed by Melaney Jenkins.  At this time we are finalizing a title; auditions will be announced after the fall play is cast.  Preliminary round of the festival is Saturday, March 3rd.  

Your officers for the year are:
Melanie Jenkins - President
Eileen Perlman - Vice President
Mairenn Mulvihill - Secretary
Olivia Whitman - Treasurer 
Chairs: Chris Riviccieo, Stock; Emma Mulvihill, Wardrobe
