HMS Musical Theater Goals
1. To develop a musical theater production at our best possible level of artistic excellence that is also educationally valid for our students. A school production that has an efficient organizational structure and effectively implements theater concepts and skills and is artistically successful and enjoyable for all involved, including the audience.
2. To develop a musical theater production that is interdisciplinary in both philosophical structure and practical implementation by bringing various aspects within the district and community together in a cooperative venue.
3. To provide opportunities for students within their roles in the cast, orchestra, or tech crew to learn essential concepts and develop fundamental skills in the art form of live musical theater.
4. To develop the individual intangibles of responsibility, work ethic, motivation, self-reliance, and confidence.
5. To develop the collective intangibles of leadership, pride, cooperation, focus, ability to deal with adversity, problem-solving and interpersonal.
6. To serve a crucial role within a comprehensive theater arts program at HMS that reflects the National Standards for Arts Education (1994) and the PA Academic Standards for the Arts and Humanities (2003).
7. To provide awareness and enrichment opportunities by viewing other school and professional musical theater productions throughout the metropolitan region.
