ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL'S
OPENING ACT THEATRE COMPANY

SEASON 2025-2026
“CONNECTIONS"

Connections among characters teach us empathy, understanding, and humanity. Audiences connect with the stories and experiences on stage. We connect with ourselves through laughter, tears, struggles, and realizations.

CONTENT ADVISORIES regarding mature subject matter and language, and/or sensory effects, often are indicated on posters, but patrons are expected to do due diligence for any and all titles listed below by using an internet search engine for reading up on any summaries, cautions, themes and/or language included in any theatrical script or presentation. Typically, Acting Showcase and Senior Shorts are our "edgier" nights of student work. Announcements are made prior to the performances beginning when applicable.
