    James, I love hearing what others are doing, too.
    we are starting with a senior showcase of Clue: High School edition followed by Into the Woods. In the spring, we are starting with Romeo and Juliet and Dracula followed by Singing in the Rain (pending licensing). We will have SOAPs (Student-directed One Act Plays) in December and March/April. 
     It'll be a packed season and we can't wait to start on it.

    Uncle Vanya in the fall and Much Ado About Nothing in the spring.

    Yes, I know.  Our vocal music department does musicals, so that frees me up to go for more literary content!

    I'm hoping for The Heart of Robin Hood for the fall, and either Crush or a murder mystery for the spring.
