The Entertainers is a three cluster musical theater
ensemble.
Students audition in the Spring to be in this ensemble.
All students perform in a Fall studio showcase and a full musical
theatre production in the Spring as well as other community
presentations. Students who have chosen the musical theatre emphasis
track may audition for colleges in Senior Showcase for musical theatre
and partake in NFAA YoungArts Presidential Scholar Competition as a
musical theatre registrant in the Fall of their senior year.
Musical Theater Emphasis

Beginning Fall 2007, students may
register for enrollment in the MT Emphasis. The MT Emphasis is
available to those students already enrolled in the Entertainers
Ensemble for 2007/08.
