Student Experience: BPHS » BPHS Spring Musical

BPHS Spring Musical

The Bethel Park High School musical is an annual rite of Spring open to students in grades 9-12. The musical, divided into two productions, opening and closing night productions, allows students to participate in a full-scale musical. 

Students may participate by auditioning for an acting role in the musical or by working behind the scenes on one of the crews, including sets, lighting, sound, props, costumes, and other areas needed to put on a high-quality show. Student musicians are also encouraged to sign up for pit orchestra positions. Auditions are generally held in the first couple of weeks of November. Crew sign-ups are done anytime. The musical rehearsals run from January until the production opens in the Spring.

The production also relies on parent volunteers to make the musical a success.
