If you are currently in grades 8-11 and are interested in theater, sign up for the theater and musical theater workshops at Bethany this summer. This is a great way to improve your skills and get a chance to perform. Registration forms are available in the front office. If you are interested but need financial assistance, talk with Talashia. We select pieces for each person in the workshops, so please get those registration forms in as soon as you can.
