Students earn a "letter" and are eligible to purchase a jacket or aquire subsequent patches for that jacket by meeting specific requirements in school activities.
Earning a "Theatre Letter"
Students earn a letter in theatre by participating in a substantial way on the cast or crew of two theatre productions, or what we call "qualifying" for a letter in a given production. To qualify for a letter, students will have met specific attendance requirments or other reasonable expectations associated with a particular production. For example, cast members will have to contribute a minimum number of hours in stage work or set construction. Likewise, crew members will need to be present for a specified number of performances.
After earning a letter in theatre students aquire "bars" for their letter jacket that represent "lettering" in subsequent years. Students aquire a "bar" in theatre by simply "qualifying" for one show in a subsequent year. Students may earn one letter and up to three "bars" in theatre in their four years of high school.
Earning a "Captain's star" in theatre.
Other activities appoint captains and those students are able to place a "captain's star" on their letter jackets. In theatre, we award a "star" to students who "qualifies" for a letter in all of our theatrical productions in a given academic year. This means one who "qualifies" for our Fall Play, One-Act, and Musical will be awarded a "captain's star"
