Established in 2001

We have a very active drama department. We generally do two mainstage shows, one Musical, one competition one-act play, three black box productions, and two-three traveling shows. We also attend Thespian Convention and Texas Educational Theatre Assoc. Convention. Our drama club has numerous events throughout the school year such as: professional theatre attendance, Renaissance Festival attendance, Children's workshop for ages 7-11, Drama Banquet, and much more.

Our Department consists of two theatre teachers and another after-school sponsor. Mr. Grueneich is the Department Chair/Technical Director who teaches all the Theatre Arts I (T) courses, Freshman Production and Varsity Tech Production. He is also the drama club and International Thespian Society sponsor. Ms. Hughes teaches Varsity Theatre Production I-IV, JV Production I-IV, and Theatre Arts I (P) and Mr. Sanford helps technically afterschool.

Our philosophy is that students should be exposed to all aspects of theatre to become well-rounded in theatre as well as the arts. Learning acting, technical theatre, and observing different professional theatre productions help develop a strong theatre participant and well as teaching critical thinking skills that transcend the realm of theatre and can be applied in other school subjects and in life.

I encourage you to sample our department by attending a production and see what talent and enthusiasm awaits you.
