WHS Drama Department in Waxahachie

Friday night’s performance of Matilda is sold out!
Waxahachie High School wants to provide a safe environment for you to enjoy incredible performances by all of our talented students!
Due to social distancing, seating will be limited with half the capacity of our Performing Arts Center available. Guests will be offered every other seat and families in the same household may sit together.
Shining Star Patrons will have the opportunity to reserve their seats in the front center section while all others will be General Admission only. Due to Playbills not being able to be recycled, each family will be given one.
Face coverings are required at all times. Concessions will not be sold and as always, no food or drinks are allowed inside the Performing Arts Center. Thank you for understanding and enjoy the shows!

Each year the WHS Drama Department is highly competitive in the UIL One Act Play Contest. The program has made 4 State appearances, with now three productions placing in the top 3 at the UIL State One-Act Play Contest.
Waxahachie High School was 2nd Runner Up in the 2018 State UIL OAP competition with "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime."
The WHS Drama Department has incredible community support through our Shinning Star Patrons. Shinning Stars help to support education enrichment, production costs, and scholarships for our students.
Waxahachie High School students give back as they donated $1000.00 to the Autism Treatment Center in Dallas from donations collected at the community performance of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime". Students are seen here delivering the check on their way to the Regional UIL OAP competition in Prosper.
