Introducing Online Registration for Theatre |
|
 WHSFA is pleased to announce that theatre directors can now register online for their district theatre festival. In the "Theatre" menu, select "Festival Registration." When you complete a form sending your registration to the State office, you will be able to print a confirmation of your entry and a copy will be sent to your e-mail address. It's vitally important that your form is still as accurate as possible, since you will not be allowed to add students to your count (you may only make substitutions). All of the prevailing rules still apply, too: you must send proof of performance rights and you must still have your principal's permission.
All registrations must be received by October 1.
