East Aurora High School in East Aurora, New York has a proud traditions of putting on musicals since 1972 as well as plays and other productions even before that time. We strive to have students at the center of our productions by guiding them in leadership positions on the stage, in the orchestra pit, backstage and on costume crew. Students promote the show on our production staff and, of course, take the stage. In addition, student instrumentalists make up all of pit for most shows. From student directors to student designers, we focus on giving high schoolers as much responsibility as possible. 

We are fortunate to have been recognized for choreography and technical aspects of the shows. Our graduates have gone on to jobs in theater, television and other areas of the entertainment industry.

East Aurora is lucky to have tremendous support for the arts whether for one of the oldest and most successful community theaters of the Aurora Players or hosting the national festival of bluegrass, Borderland. Our high school receives the same support from our community with sold-out performances. 

Most importantly, we're dedicated to providing young musicians, actors, dancers and backstage workers the most team-oriented experience possible. Musical theater is certainly about entertaining an audience, but it's also about making art, an endeavor that should be personal and meaningful for all involved.
