HHS Drama Club is excited to announce auditions for our upcoming spring musical-- Schoolhouse Rock Live!
Auditions are open to students in grades 7-12 and will be held on Tuesday, January 17th and Wednesday, January 18th in the HES music room. Follow this link for access to the audition packet and sign-up sheet! shorturl.at/joBW3.
Schoolhouse Rock Live! follows Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV, when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such songs as "Just a Bill," "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly" and "Conjunction Junction."
