COSTUME ASSISTANTS: Costume Assistants will arrive at 6pm each performance night and stay throughout the show; they would also need to be available during Tech Week (7/12-17/16). However, since they will be assisting the Costume Manager, if there are enough costume assistants, they should not be required at every performance/tech rehearsal. Duties consist of assisting the Costume Manager in keeping track of/tending to/storing costumes; before show/intermission/after show.
NEW THALIAN BOOTH ATTENDANTS: New Thalian Booth Attendants will arrive at 6pm on the night of the show, and stay until the show ends. Duties consist of running the raffle and giveaways, and promoting the group. Volunteers for this can pick which performances to work.

THE STORY:
High School Musical is a contemporary musical comedy about Troy, a popular high school basketball star, and Gabriella, a shy, academically gifted newcomer who discover they share a passion for singing. When they sign up together to audition for the lead roles in the school musical it threatens East High’s rigid social order and sends their peers into uproar.
In a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo, the “jocks”, the “brainiacs” and even the drama club regulars, are soon hatching convoluted plots to separate the pair and keep them off stage. However, by defying expectations and taking a chance on their dreams, the couple inspires other students to go public with some surprising hidden talent of their own.
