Epic High School Musical Theatre Experience – Title to Be Announced

This summer, Hopkins Community Theatre invites high school students to be part of an unforgettable musical theatre experience. Participants will work alongside experienced theatre professionals and educators in a fast-paced, supportive rehearsal process that emphasizes acting, singing, movement, and ensemble storytelling.

Students will grow as performers while learning the discipline and collaboration required in a full-scale theatrical production. The program culminates in fully staged performances for the community. This experience is ideal for students who are passionate about theatre and ready to challenge themselves in a creative, professional-style environment. Led by Farrah Buffington, Hopkins High School Program Director and Hopkins Community Theater co-Artistic Director.
