Welcome lovely Stage Guilders and Guests!!!

This website will serve as a tutorial page and event notification page for all members of stage guild.

I hope that you will find the links to the professional guild pages helpful and the brief "SMR stage" instructions informative.

As always, your help, effort, and cooperation are appreciated.

Enjoy!!!

Announcements!!!

The Fall Production, Wonderland, went well with over 306 tickets sold!

Mr. Wood said, "Thanks to all the faculty and staff that attended the fall production, Wonderland this weekend.  It was a great show directed by Beth Rawlinson with Stage Guild orchestrated by Gloria Dempsey.  The detailed sets and costumes really added to being in "Wonderland".  Emily Quade was a great Alice and James Cook kept the audience laughing!"
