As much as I encourage you to attend local college theater in the summer, I also want to encourage you to check out not only SHS productions in the spring, but also those of other schools. Last year, for the first time, I attended two other local high school plays and the talent we have in the Lehigh Valley is amazing!

Tickets for most shows are on sale now so don’t wait. Have a date night with your other half, or do what I’m doing, having a girls night with my sister with dinner before the show included. It’s a cheap date and I can guarantee it will be entertaining.
