Unfortunately, due to space limitations, we do not have room for additional guests or siblings. Please reach out to Sandy Duhe at guildactivities@btwtheatreguild.com if any senior needs to invite more than 2 adult parents/guardians, such as step-parents.
If you plan to attend with the maximum 2 guests, make sure that you RSVP for 3 total guests.
Adult Volunteers & Theatre Students (in grades 9-11) will be needed to set up the event, help during dinner, and clean up at the end of the evening. (Parents of seniors are invited to join the event and discouraged from volunteering.)

We don't want to miss an appearance or accomplishment! We rely on our guild members to let us know where to spot a Pegasus in the wild. If your Pegasus is in a non-Booker T production, please let us know. Our talented kids are so busy we need your eyes and ears to make sure we get the word out. Please include viewing dates, ticket links and any other details that will help us spot a Pegasus in the Wild. Alumni are Pegasi as well so keep those tips coming in too!!!
Several Theatre Conservatory students were recently spotted onstage in an East Dallas Arts production of Puffs. Current Booker Pegasi Ellie Manders, Maja Jo Kuehnemann, Quitman Pruitt, Eli Frymire, Orlaith Markey were joined by incoming freshman Quinn Schonne.
Here is what we know so far about the upcoming May 19 - 23 auditions. Use this link to access the All-School Musical Audition Form for Cast, Band and Crew https://btwptsa.membershiptoolkit.com/packet/18483
Responses are due May 15th. All of your audition questions need to go to the PTSA.
