Theatre Students Bring Storybook Magic and Halloween Joy to Highland Elementary

There is something truly special about watching young performers share their passion with the next generation. Recently, our high school theatre students took a trip to Highland Elementary School for a day filled with laughter, storytelling, and Halloween fun!

Our theatre troupe visited three different kindergarten classrooms to bring a beloved Katie Morag story to life. The high schoolers threw themselves into their roles, reenacting a hilarious scene where an overly dramatic family on vacation receives the wrong package in the mail and throws a full-on tantrum. The kindergarteners were completely captivated—and the sheer volume of dramatic sighing and foot-stomping made it a wildly adorable performance for everyone involved.

For junior Avery H., the visit was especially meaningful. Returning to her elementary alma mater as a high school theatre student created a sweet full-circle moment for Avery, as well as for her former Highland teachers who remember her time in those very same hallways.

To round out the fun, students returned the next day for Highland’s annual "Trunk-or-Treat" tradition. Creative to the core, our cast members decorated their car trunks with themes from our upcoming high school productions and spent the afternoon handing out candy to eager little trick-or-treaters.

We are so proud of our theatre students for stepping up as creative leaders, bringing joy to young audiences, and staying connected to our local community!
