We hope to see you there!

WOW! I was overwhelmed with the amount of amazing and talented students who wanted to be involved in this production. We had close to 100 students between audition and tech interviews! I deeply appreciate everyone's time, effort and energy you put into this process. I really wish I could have found a spot for everyone, but unfortunately that was just not the case. 

Our initial cast and crew meeting will be on WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH from 2:30 to 4:30  IN THE AUDITORIUM 
Please email Mr. C and Ms. Poppe if you have an issue attending that meeting. Also you can check the website later this weekend or early next week for the rehearsal calendar, conflict form and Company Contract.

My name is Peter Comperatore (you can call me Mr. C for short) and I am beyond thrilled to be your new Theatre Teacher at Green Hope High School!  I am very excited to get to work and begin meeting all of you in class, in rehearsals, or at shows, events and booster meetings! I have already met with the ITHS officers and the Fine Arts Boosters and we have already begun work to plan what Green Hope Theatre Company has in store for 2021-2022!

I come to you all from Sanderson High School, where I have been the Theatre Arts Teacher the past 11 years. I know I have big shoes to fill in stepping in for Mr. Gorski. The lines of communication between him and I are wide open to help ensure a smooth transition for all.

You can keep checking this site for updates and announcements as well as our instragram page @ghhstheatree. If you have any individual questions or just want to introduce yourself, please feel free to send me an email pcomperatore@wcpss.net.

​Looking forward to a great year! 

​This educational project was made by over 130 fine arts students at Green Hope High School in the 2020-2021 school year. Because of COVID-19, they never all met in person. This movie/musical was not only a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience, but also an artistic passion project for all involved. The purpose of this project was to share with you how important human connection is to "live performance." Through famous Broadway songs and original stories woven through the music, our students were able to express how teenagers & artists struggled and endured through the worst of the pandemic. Due to copyright laws, the viewing of this project is free for educational purposes. However, if you love the work of our fine arts students in this movie, please consider making a $20 donation per viewer to our fine arts program. Please consider donating more if you are able. Your donation goes to directly to our fine arts program and supports our students' learning opportunities for next year and the years to come. Thank you so much for your consideration, and we sincerely hope you enjoy "Connections." 

To the Green Hope Theatre students, parents, & community,

   For the past 9 years I have had the honor to serve as your theatre arts teacher. It has been an experience I will never forget. While here, I had the privilege to work with some of the best students, colleagues, and volunteers a theatre teacher could ask for. I would like to give a special thanks to the Green Hope Fine Arts Boosters for always supporting me and my program throughout my tenure at Green Hope. I will be moving into the theatre arts position at Apex Friendship High School beginning in the fall of the 2021-2022. I am proud to announce the new theatre arts teacher at Green Hope High School is Mr. Peter Comperatore. Mr. Comperatore is coming from Sanderson High School and is a truly amazing theatre arts teacher. He has a reputation for being one of the best directors in RTP. I am so excited to see where Mr. Comperatore is going to take this program; it could not be in better hands.
    So for now, rather than say "good bye," I will simply say this: Thank you for letting me share my love of theatre with you, thank you students, thank you parents, and I will see you soon.

Sincerely,
​Mr. Jamie Gorski

Thank you to all who auditioned! If you do not wish to accept your role, you need to email Mr Gorski (jgorski@wcpss.net) within the next 24 hours. There will be a mandatory full company meeting on Monday. All are expected to be there--no exceptions.
