PAW is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a grant from
to pay for directors for both shows and a music or vocal director for our spring musical! A percentage of this grant is allowed to be used to replace our aging set pieces. This will allow us to save this year's ticket sales and donations to pay for the following year to help the program be sustainable.
This PTSA club performs 2 shows a year -
a fall play (in late Oct or early Nov) and a spring musical (in early May).
Rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 2:30-4 or 4:30 for 6 weeks in the fall and 8 weeks in the spring.
Students audition to act in the fall and sing, dance and/or act in the spring. Students not only operate the lights and sound but also create costumes and set pieces for both shows.
For more information on these Creative Teams and more details about auditions - see the "How do I get involved" page. The Fall Play begins rehearsing and creating costumes, props and set pieces soon after school begins so it is a great way to meet students.
Past PAW Productions-
These middle school appropriate comedies were chosen because they have large cast sizes with gender flexible roles. Every student who auditions for an acting role will get one.
Fall Play: 30 min comedies perfect for middle school
Spring Musical: A 60 minute Musical Variety show consisting of 3-4 skits containing songs. Students who act do not need to sing or dance if they don't want to. There are acting only roles as well as singing or dancing only roles.
