NEWSIES PIT, SUBMISSIONS DUE NOV. 16
Unlike many high schools that use all professional musicians, the pit for our shows is mainly student-led. While a few professionals will be brought in to fill in the gaps and share their educational knowledge, all instrument positions will be offered to any student who wants to take part in this unique experience.
CREW INTEREST
DISNEY’S NEWSIES is a fun and exciting show and has lots of opportunity for creativity and involvement. We’ll meet Thurs., Jan. 11 to discuss the tech and production needs for a show that’s unlike any other PHS has seen before.
