NORTH HIGH WILDCAT THEATER PRODUCTIONS
SELECTED FOR AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL THEATER FESTIVAL IN EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

North High Wildcat Theater Productions, under the direction of Helen Brennan, is honored to have been selected as one of approximately 40 schools out of more than 200 who were nominated from throughout the United States to participate in the American High School Theater Festival at the Fringe held in Edinburgh, Scotland in August of 2007.

North Theater was selected after a rigorous application process. Schools are nominated by a state, regional or national theater entity, and receive an application, which requires directors to outline their curricular and creative points of view in great detail. Eight different board members, university theater professionals, evaluate applicants and make selections. Wildcat Theater is fortunate to have been selected.

The Fringe Festival, a unique event whose purpose is to showcase creativity, is the largest performing arts festival in the world, featuring over 18,000 different performances of music, theater, dance, and comedy. North Drama, recognized for its innovative and entertaining productions, will have the opportunity to perform a play of their choice on an international stage.

North High drama students, their parents, teachers and administrators are heavily involved in fundraising activities to finance their two week stay in Scotland and England.
We are currently seeking donations to make the cost of the trip affordable to all North Theater students who want to participate. Donations may be sent to:
