SHS Playhouse Booster Club Interest Survey

The Playhouse Booster Club is “looking for a few good parents” to help with the upcoming 2021-2022 year. If you have special skills or simply have some free time, consider becoming involved. We need you!
Our program would not be successful without the support of our booster club volunteers. The Playhouse volunteers are made up primarily of parents of current theatre students. The boosters club volunteers generously give their time and resources to assist with the productions, hold Executive Board positions and help with fundraising activities.
The booster club volunteers also help with selling ads for the program, selling concessions during shows, serving food to the cast and crew on show nights, and much, much more. Please take a few minutes to complete our Booster Club survey and choose one or more ways you’d like to be involved!
