Tonight at 7:00pm

Come laugh and cry and laugh some more, and appreciate the hard work and talent of our high school students. The show continues tonight at 7pm, Friday and Saturday at 8pm. Don’t wait to get your tickets – as word spreads, this show often sells out.

 

Please join us for an evening of five one act plays directed by Gunn High School theatre students. All plays are performed each evening of the show. With a blend of the comic and the serious, you can be assured of an evening of amazing creativity and talent!
