Welcome, we’re elated that you are considering joining the Cambridge High School Advanced Theatre Company. We have been building a name for ourselves over the past few years, and we are thrilled that you are interested in growing our legacy and making art with us!
Bridge Ensemble Structure & Expectations
The Bridge Ensemble will be responsible for two of the three productions, while the musical will remain open to all Cambridge High School students.
How We Achieve This
Advanced Company (Bridge Ensemble) in 7th Period – Provides equal or more rehearsal time without heavily impacting after-school hours. Saturday rehearsals and tech weeks will still be required but with a reduced after-school burden.
Fall Semester Commitment – All Advanced Company members must participate in the Contest One Act Play.
Musical Participation – Auditions and rehearsals are separate, beginning after the Contest Play concludes.
Parent & Student Commitment
Parents/guardians of Advanced Company students must attend a mandatory meeting before the end of this semester to review commitments and to complete the onboarding process.
