OCTOBER 2022

Dear SDSCPA Theatre Majors and Families-

It's OCTOBER!  Happy Halloween and Happy Fall!

We have just finished casting of all of our productions this season and were thrilled by all of the talent we witnessed.  You should be proud that our Theatre students acted professionally and gracefully during this process. The depth of talent was so steep, it was tough to narrow down who should play what.  Congratulations to all the students who were cast! With that being said, we are looking forward to expanding our season next year with more mainstage productions featuring more of our talented kiddos! Thank you to all the parents for being supportive during this casting process.   

A few thoughts:

• Make sure that your student checks out the YOUNG ARTS opportunity below!  
• SAVE THE DATE!  SDSCPA will host a season teaser on NOV 30th in the FLORENCE JOHNSON featuring sneak peeks at our upcoming shows!
