THE DEN IMPROV TROUPE INITIAL MEETING IS TOMORROW, 3:30-5!!

No audition or experience necessary. Professional actor and improviser, Eric Nepom will be back to direct. Come and find out what it is all about. You do not have to commit to the improv troupe after tomorrow. If you decide to keep going, we will get everyone’s availability, and schedule 2 rehearsals a week leading up to the Improv Night performances, DEC 8 & 9 at 6:30pm (this is on the Theatre Arts calendar). Email Mr. B at beckings@wlwv.k12.or.us with any questions.

The West Linn High School Performing Arts Department presents the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical. The magical show revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a witty little girl who dreams of a better life.

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda is a joyous “girl power” romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination. The production runs November 3, 5, 10, 11, 12. Curtain is at 7 pm for all shows. Reserve tickets at the ticket link above!

Due to various reasons, the winter/spring play has been changed to William Shakespeare’s, Twelfth Night.

We are so grateful for the talent, creativity, and bravery that we witnessed during this audition process; you exhibited a level of excellence that made many of our decisions very difficult.  If you weren’t cast in this production, we look forward to having you involved in the other performance opportunities we will have available at WLHS this year!
