Pagosa Springs High School Productions

Curtains Up Pagosa has been the support behind the PSHS Performing Arts Department for almost 20 years!  CUP recently presented the Drama Department with a check for $100 for purchases of books, scripts and other theatrical needs.  Sean Downing, beloved teacher and mentor for his students, manages the high school’s Drama program, which provides a training ground for students as they venture into other performance opportunities.  Downing’s students are currently preparing and are in rehearsal for their next play to be held in late winter.  Curtains Up is proud to be in partnership with the performing arts in our schools!

The PSHS Music & Theater Departments are thrilled and excited to announce their Spring Musical, “Grease”, a 50’s rock’n’roll extravaganza by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.  Thirteen years ago, Lisa Hartley, the then music director at the high school, first produced this wonderful production for our students and community.  It will be a “Grease” revival in Pagosa Springs!  Rehearsals have been underway for a month with the cast of 45 actors & singers – there are over 20 song and dance numbers to prepare for!  Directors Dan Burch, Dale Johnson, Venita Burch, Sally Neel and Darcy DeGuise are spending their evenings jiving with the best of the 50’s.  There will be five performances, May 1 – 5, 2012 at the high school.  Save the dates!  We anticipate large audiences each night.
