IMPORTANT - Production Assessment
All students enrolled in WHS Theatre Arts classes will be taking a test over each play being presented by our department. The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills in our courses require that we evaluate literature that was written to be performed.
The students may prepare for the first test by attending a live performance of Epic Proportions OR by reading the script. If your child chooses to attend the production, tickets for students are $5. If they would rather read the play, the scripts are available in every Google Classroom. The test over this material will be Monday, October 18th during class.
If your child would prefer to attend the production and your family's current financial situation makes it difficult to afford the ticket, feel free to contact your child's teacher and we will consider a scholarship for attendance..
