Shakespeare once wrote, "All the world's a stage," and it's no different at Timpanogos High School; well, at least for the students who have the courage to venture into the world of Ms. Broberg's theatre.
It's not always easy, with preparation taking anywhere form eight to ten weeks and rehearsals almost every day of the week, but it's always worthwhile. The actor feels the exileration as he stops onto the stage, and the audience feels the excitement like an electric current as the lights dim and the show begins.
This year, the theatre department has a full schedule lined up, starting with Play On, a comedy about a community theater messily putting a play together. This is not your ordinary play. It's composed of two casts where each student plays two nights with completely different casts. With six performances starting on October 23rd, the Production's Company will busily perform the night away.

The next play up is Aida, the story of two star-crossed lovers navigating their way through war, opression, secrets, and slavery. With killer music and an all-school cast, Aida is sure to be a hit among the students. It opens November 19th with five performances including a matinee and evening show on Saturday.
The one act plays are in April. Seniors direct plays that other students perform, and it's open to any student with a flare for acting.
After that is the Evening of Irving Berlin music in May. It serves as the Production's Company's composer review. For those who don't know Berlin, he composed several shows including White Christmas, and is known as Mr. Broadway.
Finally, the Production's Company will perform The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) under a guest director. The play is a gut-bursting, hysterical production full of street theatre and clowing around. It's sure to be the funniest show of the year. You'll be in tears, of joy, by the time the curtain falls.
Whatever production is playing in the theatre, it's sure to be unique and outstanding. After all, they are called plays, so be sure to join the performers for a year of entertainment. Theatre is not complete without an audience, so come help the theatre make some magic.
