Welcome to the Pennsbury Drama Website!

Open to all students, Pennsbury Drama provides students at Pennsbury High School in grades 9-12 the opportunity to participate in year-round theatrical productions. This includes Thursday Night Live! (TNL), the Fall and Spring Dramas, Night of One Acts, Dessert Theater, the Bucks County Student Theatre Festival, the PA State Thespian Conference and the International Thespian Festival. The commitment involves after school rehearsals for upcoming productions. For dedicated students, there is the opportunity to earn service points during productions to become a member of Pennsbury High School’s Thespian Troupe #830, an Honor Society for the dramatic arts and a part of the International Thespian Society.

Rehearsals and meetings are held during the school year on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
from 3:15pm-5:15pm in "The Cave" at PHS West (Orange Auditorium).

Crew Shout-Outs!

Shoutout to Mr. Matthes, Mr. Capozzola, Danny Capozzola, Matt Palumbo, Maddie McGlynn, and Hayleigh Monachello! Our "Suite Surrender" set is coming along beautifully, and the light booth area has been cleaned out.

• Honor Thespian – 600 hours

• National Honor Thespian – 1,200 hours

• International Honor Thespian – 1,800+ hours

Stay tuned for more volunteer opportunities, and don’t forget to join our Remind groups to keep up with the latest info!

A huge shoutout to our Magical Miss Schanbacher, Energetic Emma, Jittery Jacob, Nice Nate, Fun Fae, and Andrew (who managed to dodge the name game!) for bringing the energy. Special thanks as well to the PDP and Mrs. Templeton for helping make the day such a success. And of course, a big welcome to all of our wonderful new participants—we’re so glad you joined us!

Cue-to-Cue Rehearsal with
Bob Lenzi, PHS Alumni

The "Tuck, Everlasting" cast and crew participated in a cue-to-cue rehearsal including a special guest speaker. Bob Lenzi, Pennsbury High School & Drama alum and the original Miles Tuck on Broadway’s Tuck Everlasting the musical, joined our cast and crew for an inspiring conversation. Bob also generously recorded the opening voices for the upcoming PHS production of Tuck Everlasting, and we are incredibly grateful for his time, his encouragement, and his ongoing support of our program.
