Allenwood Elementary

Calling all Captains, Cowpokes, Miners, Farmers, Pioneers and More!  Allenwood Theatre Club (ATC) will be performing the musical celebration of America’s westward expansion, “Go West!” combining music, history and drama! Be part of our Allenwood Theatre Club cast and crew on their adventures to the Old West when people traveled by steamboat, wagons and trains to find gold, land and a prosperous life. Travelers learn no matter where they end up, their home will be a positive place full of family support!

Acting in the Theatre Club is open to ALL 4th and 5th graders, and the Tech crew is open to a limited number of 5th graders as well.
If you are planning to sign up for Theatre Club, be sure to read BOTH pages VERY carefully and review the dates and times for any conflicts prior to registering.  Students registering for the production are committing to after school rehearsals, and are expected to attend each assigned rehearsal in addition to participating in all of the final performances.  Rehearsals will begin the week of January 6th, on Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the month of January and February for our final performance on Friday, March 6th, right here on our Allenwood stage.

Please return the completed Registration Form and Activity Fee to the Main Office in an envelope marked “Theatre Club” by the sign up deadline of Thursday, January 2, 2020.
