Business Team

The Burlington Township Theater Program is an after-school, extra-curricular activity open to all Burlington Township High School students. There are two shows per school year: one in the fall and one in the spring. Students put in countless hours rehearsing  for three to four months for every show. 

Students are given the opportunity  to express themselves through acting, singing, and dancing. They become a family, where together they train and work with professionals who have worked in the business themselves. Students advance their skill sets and learn basic life skills such as communication and networking with with others. For many, if not all the students, theater is a way to learn how to walk in other people’s shoes and is an escape from their everyday lives. They become storytellers who share their messages with anyone who is willing to listen. 

Behind the curtain are those who assist in bringing the story to life by adding lights, sounds, sets, and costumes. These students work with the same professionals while making the family even larger as the show weekends inch closer and closer. Without them, those people telling the story wouldn’t be seen or heard and the stories would be lost. 

 To make all of this possible, we enlist the support of our community each year. If you would like to help us sustain our programs, please consider purchasing an ad in our programs or making a donation.
