Student LeadershipThe MHS Theatre Society is proud to provide opportunities for students to assume leadership roles in all aspects of the program.
Leadership roles range in scope and commitment level so that there are opportunities for lots of different members to get involved. Department Heads are selected based on hands-on experience and demonstrated commitment to the program. If you are interested in learning more about a Department Head position, talk to Ms. McCoy or a current student leader. Formal application processes exist for the four Officer positions and six Stage Manager positions available each year. To learn more, see details below. |

Stage Management Selection
Stage Management is a two-year commitment. Selected students begin as Assistant Stage Managers (or ASM's) for a specific show. ASM's job shadow and assist the Stage Manager and then assume the Stage Manager position for that same show the following year. We periodically hold interest meetings so that members can learn more about what the role entails from the current Stage Managers. If you think you might be interested, attend a meeting and/or speak to a current Stage Manager. If you decide you want to apply, please fill out the form below and submit it to Ms. McCoy via email. Selections are made when positions become available.
