The Scranton HS Knight Players are our extracurricular Drama club, and are responsible for putting on our annual Spring musical. Students audition for parts before the Spring semester, and rehearsals start at the conclusion of the Fall Drama.
Our musicals have been recognized numerous times for their professionalism and high standards that the program maintains. Students may also join the Knight Players in non-performance roles, including costuming, make-up, stage hands, among others. The students in this program spend a large amount of time together, and as such, end up developing strong bonds and friendships with their peers that endure long after they have graduated.
