Hello Alta Theatre Family!

We have learned that the most-recent Broadway recording is not accurate to the HS version of the music.  Therefore, in case you want to become familiar with what music we will be using, you can go to either of the following links to find that music.  Break legs this week, y'all! :)

Shakespeare Team Cost 2019

Hello prospective Shakespeare Team members and family! 

This year’s trip to the Shakespeare Festival is currently set at $331.75. This cost may fluctuate (go down) depending on the size of the team we are able to bring with us to the competition. Students can raise money to pay up to the entire cost of the trip through the Wasatch Savings Books fundraiser. To begin fundraising, students need to contact Miss Triptow. Wasatch Savings Books cost $30 dollars each. Wasatch Savings keeps 50% of the cost and the remainder goes to the students to cover the cost of the trip. All fundraising money is due no later than Friday, September 20th. I’m excited for the trip! See you at the workshop on Monday and auditions on Tuesday.
