Students can register to work as part of the cast or part of the crew (6th – 8th grade only).

The registration fee is $80.00 per student ($140.00 per family), and includes a script, music, T-shirt, costume and 2 tickets to the show. The group also includes a visit to a local high school production in the spring. Show Biz rehearsals are held on Monday afternoons from 2:30 PM – 5:00PM.
