Centennial High School Fall Play
Every Fall we do a play! We try to get as many students who audition into the production as possible. We also need students to be on the costume crew, set building crew, props crew, Stage Managers, Make up crew, possible running crew, and booth crew for sound and lighting. The technical end of the shows is student-run.
