Calling Musical Theater Families & Supporters

The Musical Theater department is excited for the year ahead! Even with a few changes, it continues to be one of Booker T.’s most dynamic programs, offering events all year long.

All BTW students may audition for MT at the end of their sophomore year, and once accepted, they participate in events that nurture and showcase their love of musical theater.

This year, we’re asking MT parents and families to get involved as we prepare for the November Showcase and Senior Showcase. We need help with sponsorships, fundraising, and providing meals for our students.

If your student is in Musical Theater (junior or senior) or you’d like to support the program, please email Shelley Kirby, MT Liaison, at sykintx@gmail.com to be added to the MT list. Thank you!


Senior Dues!

Please help us kick-start the year by paying your senior dues using the link below. These important dues cover your senior headshots and senior dinner, helping to fund the events that make senior year so special!
