Director's Cut
Welcome to another year of Kings Mountain High School Theatre!
This summer, our students have been working hard to bring you one of the best seasons KMHS has ever offered. After the astounding success of last year's season, we know that the department is set to impress once again.
Hosting the NCTC High School Play Festival for the fourth time and participating for the ninth, our department has enjoyed great success and connections with many other departments through its affiliation with the North Carolina Theatre Conference. We are excited that other area theatre departments will be joining NCTC and participating in the play festival this year.
We are also excited about our season beyond the play festival. We have two pairs of students who will be directing shows as a Winter Showcase and our musical is sure to be as exciting and memorable a performance as you have seen on the Barnes Auditorium stage.
With an exciting season, renovated lighting system, and plenty of talented students, this season promises to be one to remember.
Dan Treharne
