WHS Drama Department in Waxahachie

COVID-19 Restrictions

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 and as always, no food or drinks are allowed inside the Performing Arts Center.

Thank you and enjoy the shows!
