about US
Green Hope Theatre is both an elective and after school program that welcomes students of all experiences and backgrounds at Green Hope High School. We are a multicultural group dedicated to the highest levels of excellence in the craft of theatre.
We offer elective courses that explore both acting and technical theatre, with our most advanced levels earning honors credit. Theatre II and III put on One Act Plays which are exclusively produced by students taking those classes. The Theatre IV ensemble spends the semester rehearsing a One Act Play and performs it at the North Carolina Theatre Conference.
Our after school program puts on two mainstage shows a year: the Fall Play and Spring Musical. These shows are open to all to audition for the cast or interview to join the technical crew.
