Thank you for visiting the WHS Theatre Department. Here you will find all sorts of amazing tidbits about what we do. This site will be updated regularly with class assignments as well as information about past, present, and future productions.

The goal of this department is to create theatre that achieves the highest possible standards while opening the hearts and minds of all those with whom we come in contact. We are all about telling stories that touch others and we also hope to create a learning environment where people of all philosophies and backgrounds can come together to celebrate life on common ground.

Thank you for believing in what we do and for being a part of the magic!
