[edit] Play

Every year TSA puts on a musical picked by that year's senior class. They pick the musical when they are juniors, having a series of meetings where they propose and discuss possible musicals. Auditions and casting of the primary roles ocurrs in the spring of their junior year.
In November of their senior year all school stops for two weeks while the entire school spends their time working on various aspects of the play, from house managing, to designing the program, to working on the lighting. Finally in mid-November they perform that year's play. for information on past musicals click here.
