About

Tower Theater

Tower Theater (aka TXTX) is the after-school course that puts on all the musicals and plays you know and love. In the past years, we've done musicals like The Little Mermaid and Les Miserables. Plays like The Children's Hour and War of the Worlds have been done. Anyone is welcome into theater, we would love to have you! Once you participate, you are automatically enrolled in the class for 9th period. With this, you also get 5 credits each semester you take part. Many talented, hardworking students take part. No prior experience is needed, and there are so many things you can do to help, from acting to crew! However, the students wouldn't have this if it weren't for the amazing directors and officers.
