Palo Alto High School Theatre Boosters

Paly Theatre Boosters are parents and community members who support the outstanding Paly Theatre program and provide funds for the many student enrichment opportunities available through the program.

Paly Theatre Program

Under the direction of Theatre teacher Sarah Thermond, Paly Theatre will offer an exciting 2023-24 theatre program open to all Paly students.

Paly Theatre produces 2-3 plays a year, open to all Paly students, as well as our unique playwriting festival Play-in-a-Day and One-Acts that give interested students an opportunity to direct.

Theatre classes at Paly include a comprehensive theatre education: four years of classes culminating in a capstone project Theatre 4 Honors class, as well as a separate Stage Tech class that offers a dual enrollment option with Foothill College for Advanced students that many students have used as a stepping stone to a career in professional theater.

Paly Theatre also has a Thespian Club and an Improv Troupe. Visit etc. Visit www.PalyTheatre.com to learn more.

Start date! Save the date of Tuesday, September 12 from 7 to 8:30 pm for the annual Drama & Desserts evening to learn more about the program and upcoming season.

The Paly Theatre program is only minimally funded by PAUSD. The Boosters are crucial in funding:

Classroom enrichment workshops and guest lecturers
Purchase and rental of professional sound, lighting and projection equipment for performances
Outside experts to work directly with students on lighting, sound engineering,
carpentry and scenery painting
Stage combat and dialect coaches
Scholarships for the Annual trip to the California State Thespian Festival
Provides students the opportunity to see one Palo Alto Players production per semester
Professional development opportunities for theatre staff
