Damn Yankees

Pacific Hills has earned a reputation of excellence for outstanding Theatre Department productions. School-wide auditions are held for the four productions staged each year, with both stage and technical crew opportunities. The Pacific Hills Thespian Society participates in seminars and workshops both locally and nationally and Pacific Hills students frequently hold statewide offices.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Introductory theatre begins in the 6th grade with a variety of elective courses offered for middle and high school students.

2010/2011 Productions:

The classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assembled for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his wife. Since his is very fastidious and none too tense, they fear he might commit suicide and go about locking all the windows. When Felix arrives, he is scarcely allowed to go to the bathroom alone. As the action unfolds, the clean-freak and slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

After learning his father was murdered, a brooding film student struggles with whether or not to kill the culprit, his uncle - the new head of Denmark Studios. Shakespeare’s classic play is transported to Hollywood during the roaring 20’s.

After the smashing success of last year’s Acting Out, the Performing Arts Department continues with its acting/singing/dancing extravaganza! Culled from classes, thespian competitions and dance groups, this evening promises to once again showcase Pacific Hills’ talented performers.

Once upon a time, the young prince Pippin longed to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He sought it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, he found it in the simple pleasures of home and family. This tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairy tale, pop/rock musical captivated Broadway audiences and continues to appeal to the young at heart everywhere.
