Atholton Theatre’s Annual Productions
Atholton Theatre is proud to bring our community a full season of entertainment:

- A spring musical that brings the house down
- Performances by AHI Tuna, our hilarious improv troupe
- Our Spring Showcase, “One Night Only”, starring students from our Theatre Company and Musical Theatre Company
Auditions are open to all Atholton students—you don’t need to be enrolled in a theatre class to take the stage! (Note: students in Theatre Company and Musical Theatre Company are required to shine in the Spring Showcase.)
International Thespian Society
Atholton is home to the International Thespian Society, an honor society that recognizes students who dedicate their time and talent to theatre. Members not only celebrate the art of theatre but also give back to the community—keeping the spirit of the stage alive both on and off campus.
Behind the Scenes Magic
Not every star stands in the spotlight. Many shine backstage! Students can take on roles such as:
- Stage manager or assistant director
- Lighting, scenic, props, or make-up designer
- Crew member running costumes, props, or technical equipment
- Set builder or make-up artist
These roles are the heartbeat of every show, and they give students the chance to learn leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork while creating something unforgettable.
At Atholton Theatre, there’s a place for everyone—on stage, behind the curtain, or in the audience. Join us, and be part of the story!
