This summer high school students can partake in a “24-Hour Play” where we will log a total of 24 hours in order to create a show completely from scratch. Upon registration, students will note their top participation preferences (acting, set design & build, lights & sound, directing, and costumes). In this process, students will learn essential theatre skills while building up to a one-time performance. What play will be produced? Wildcat Theatre Summer Directors will present script options to students and put it to a vote! Student participants can be incoming freshmen through graduating seniors.
Location: Neuqua Valley High School - MAIN CAMPUS - 2360 95th Street, Naperville, IL 60564
Please meet in the NVHS Main Campus Auditorium Lobby by entering at Door 7.
