District Fine Arts Calendar (2016-2017)

Student Theater and Fine Arts events announced!

Student theater, band, choir and orchestra performances will be offered this year across Spring Branch ISD. Performances will include funny puppets, a premiere production and famous children’s stories and toe-tapping musicals.

The fall high school theater season ahead includes the world premiere of What’s My Color at Spring Woods High School. The musical was written by Australian playwright, Wendy Lewis, and composer Yuval Halpern.

Lewis and Halpern will spend a week in October working with student performers on campus. The musical premiere is billed as “perfect for children of all ages, and anyone who sees the world through rose-colored glasses.”

On Oct. 20, the much decorated, regional award-winning Stratford Playhouse will begin a new season with a “triple crown” Tony winner, Avenue Q School Edition, which combines human and puppet. The musical comedy tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York City apartment all the way out on Avenue Q.

Together, Princeton and new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive life purpose. Avenue Q promises gut-busting humor and a delightful, catchy musical score.

Other not-to-be-missed student performances include Seussical the Musical at Westchester Academy for International Studies in early November; A Piece of My Heart, also in November, and The Velveteen Rabbit written for young audiences in December, both presented at Memorial High School.

Spring Woods High’s Safari Players will also present Clifford Odets’ drama, Awake and Sing, right before the Thanksgiving break.
