Wakeland Theatre

Wakeland Theatre Officer Candidates: Please know that these decisions were not made lightly; we factored in your academics/grades, time constraints, alongside your interview and the application process.

To our 2026-2027 Officer Team, CONGRATULATIONS! This year’s leadership team has done an incredible job all year, but now it is your turn to lead! Cantrell and I are so excited to see how Wakeland Theatre will continue to flourish under your student leadership. 

To those who did not make the Officer Team this year, please take the time to feel the feels and process your emotions. KG and Cantrell will be available to sit down and go over feedback with you beginning May 4th.

Remember: Even without an official title, you are still a leader and a vital force in this department.

Congratulations to the company of our 2026 Showcase. Our tech rehearsal will be on Wednesday, April 22nd from 4:30-6:30 in the theater! Lineup of numbers will be e-mailed tomorrow.
