Director's Cut
The bar has been set and we will raise it higher!
Last year, this departmennt took an important step. It decided that "good-enough" was, in fact, not good enough. It decided that excellence and professional theatre are not just dreams. It decided to see what benefits true dedication, initiative, and focus would get it.
It is easy to see that those decisions paid off. The first State High School Play Festival appearance in KMHS history, one of the most successful musicals in years, and a new International Thespian Society Troupe are just a few of the accolades earned last year. These were the first steps toward a solid tradition of success, respect, and the highest-quality theatre around.
We are set this year to build on the success of last year and continue making strides forward. With enrollment up to a staggering 305 students from roughly 220 last year, the interest in KMHS theatre is growing, and with it greater success will follow. Our season is one that will test the department again and hopefully prove that the step taken last year will set the new standard of KMHS Theatre.
