On Monday, March 2nd, the L3 program will be hosting a Musical Theatre Choreography led by EIU Theatre Professor, Larry Cox Jr. Bring your dancing shoes and join us for a fun and interactive session in the auditorium over the Lunch/Win period.
The dance workshop will begin at 11:40am, so be sure to grab your lunch before you come down. If you are interested in attending and you are in a required WIN, make sure to check in with your WIN teacher to get permission to attend. WIN students will be asked to sign in and out of the performance.
The doors to the Baker Gym/Music area will be closed for WIN A and B on this day.
Are you interested in theatre but don't like to be in the spotlight? Are you fast on your feet and work best in high energy, artistic environments?
If so, then being a member of the Technical Crew for the CHS upcoming musical theatre production may be the thing for you! Crew applications are now available for the 2026 CHS production of Disney's "The Little Mermaid".
Come apply to be a part of our sound, lighting, costume, run or front of house teams. Pick up an application at the Little Mermaid callboard in the hallway near the counselors' office.
Completed applications should be returned to the Callboard.
The last day to apply for crew is Friday, March 6th.
Today’s quote is “Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you've started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can't get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?
