Glenbard West Theatre Program Selected for International Festival

The following information comes from a Glenbard Township High School District 87 press release. 

The American High School Theatre Festival has selected Glenbard West High School’s theatre program to perform at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The American High School Theatre Festival (AHSTF) was developed in 1994 to allow the best drama students to showcase their skills in an international forum. Each year, the festival runs in conjunction with the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. The experience allows young people to experience this event as both performers and audience members.

High school theatre programs are nominated by theatre professionals, college theatre directors, and American High School Theatre Festival alumni directors. Glenbard West’s program received two nominations – one from Toni Higgins-Thrash of AACT Illinois and the other from Monroe Murphy of Columbia College – Chicago.
