Our students will also have the opportunity to travel to Walt Disney World for an immersive experience in performance, entertainment, and the professional world of theatre. Students will experience Disney's approach to storytelling and performance while enjoying the parks and spending time together as a theatre company.
This trip is about more than rides and attractions—it is an opportunity for students to experience one of the world's most recognized entertainment organizations and see firsthand how performance, technology, design, music, and storytelling come together to create an unforgettable experience.
This trip is open to Chorus and Theatre students at EHS and will be a shared opportunity with the Greenbrier High School Pack Players and Chorus.
REGISTRATION IS DUE BY SEPTEMBER 11, 2026! Click the link below to join the Google Classroom and register for our trip! Fundraiser and payment information is also available.
Both trips are opportunities for our students to learn, perform, explore, and build community beyond the classroom.
We are incredibly excited to offer these experiences to our Roundtable Players this year and look forward to creating memories that our students will carry with them long after the curtain closes.
More information about trip dates, costs, fundraising opportunities, eligibility, and registration will be shared with students and families at our upcoming parent informational meeting on THURSDAY, AUGUST 27 AT 6PM IN THE CHORUS ROOM.
2026-2027 Season of Community
By Arthur Miller
At the heart of The Crucible is a community torn apart by fear, suspicion, and the dangerous consequences of hysteria. Set during the Salem witch trials, the play examines what happens when trust within a community begins to erode and individuals are forced to choose between personal integrity and public acceptance. As accusations spread and relationships fracture, the story reveals both the fragility and the importance of truth, justice, and compassion. The Crucible reminds us that communities are shaped not only by moments of unity, but also by how people respond in times of fear and division.

In You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, community is seen through the joyful and sometimes chaotic world of childhood friendship. Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Schroeder, and Snoopy each bring their own quirks, insecurities, and dreams, yet together they create a world filled with imagination, humor, and heart. Through small moments of kindness, frustration, encouragement, and play, the musical reminds us that belonging does not require perfection. Instead, community grows through acceptance, shared experiences, and the simple act of being there for one another.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time invites audiences to experience the world through a different perspective. As Christopher navigates relationships, uncertainty, and overwhelming situations, the story reveals both the difficulties and the importance of communication, patience, and compassion within families and communities. The play challenges audiences to reconsider assumptions and recognize the value of understanding experiences different from their own. In doing so, it offers a moving reminder that true community is rooted in empathy — in learning to listen, support, and connect even when understanding does not come easily.

Puffs celebrates the idea that community can be found among the overlooked and underestimated. Set in a world of magic and adventure, the play focuses not on the heroes at the center of the story, but on the loyal, ordinary students who support one another through every challenge. Their friendships are built on encouragement, resilience, and humor, showing that belonging does not come from fame or greatness, but from standing together and embracing who you are. At its heart, Puffs is a joyful reminder that even the “side characters” have stories worth telling and communities worth celebrating.
NOTE: This production will be performed by the students enrolled in Advanced Acting and produced by the students enrolled in Technical Theatre. Rehearsals during Tech Week will be 3p-8p each night.
