We perform a Fall Play, in our new state of the art TCHS Black Box.
In addition to the Main Stage musical production and Black Box play, we perform a Christmas show in December, Christmas Comes to The Colony.

In addition to being very impressed by the students’ performance, judges and others at the competitions comment on how supportive our students are of each other, and what great kids they are.
Our audiences for each show continue to grow, and are generally at least 2,500-3,000.
Getting involved with Theatre at The Colony- Reimagined is a great experience that will cause students to grow in character and disciplines that give them life skills and great memories to last a lifetime.
