Thanks to a group of enthusiastic team workers our community as a whole will be greatly enriched. Owing to a combined effort of our local Arts Guild, Construction students, who were responsible for designing and building a brand new performance-art interior for our local movie theater and a 6th Period Drama class, our community now has a top notch, state of the art theatre that the entire community and county can take pride in. The students profit greatly from the experience because it provides a setting (The Magnolia Theatre) that inspires them more so than a normal classroom environment. They are taught the history of the theater, all aspects of stagecraft (including lighting and sound), and lastly they are given the opportunity to improvise and perform. They spend a total of 180 hours in this “”classroom”". Not only do the students attend classes in the theater they are also custodians, who maintain and cleanup the facility for various performances. They operate the sound and lighting equipment and act as House Manager and staff for school-related performances. All the students find the experience to be greatly rewarding.
