PHS Fall Play Auditions!

The PHS Theatre Department is excited to announce Auditions for this year’s Fall Play: The Great Gatsby! 

“This sparkling adaptation of The Great Gatsby by playwright Gary Peterson beautifully captures the glamour of the Roaring 20s and all the iconic moments of the beloved American classic” (PDS website). 

Auditions will be held on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at 3:30 PM in the Black Box Theatre.  More information about auditions, casting, and other show information can be found in the Audition Information Packet (linked here!)  The production will feature live jazz music, a 1920’s dance ensemble, stunning storytelling, costumes, and scenic design! 

All students at Princeton High School are invited to Audition for the Fall Play!  There will be a pre-Audition information meeting in the Black Box Theatre on Wednesday, September 6, at the beginning of break. All are welcome!

About the PHS Drama Program

Whether a student dreams of starring in a show, leading the technical team, or helping manage a theatrical production, the PHS Drama department has a long legacy of introducing students to theatre in a way that builds confidence on and off stage. From Drama I classes to the Advanced Acting and Performance Seminar, students explore all aspects of theatre through hands-on experiences. 

Drama classes are offered during the day so that students are able to participate in theatre productions while also being a member of an athletic team or other after-school organization. Courses offer students a creative outlet while also introducing them to the principles and techniques of playwriting, including plot structure, dramatic action, point of view, mood, character development, setting, written dialogue, and stage directions. In addition to acting courses, PHS also offers a course on Musical Theatre that explores song and dance and provides students with practical steps to pursuing a career. 

Our theatre facilities include the 700+ seat Trego-Biancosino Auditorium and a black box theatre. A full student orchestra accompanies the annual spring musical.
