The Theatre Guild will host the Theatre Conservatory Senior Dinner on Thursday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Commons. 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!!!
