*Notes on Firestone High School Theatre*



            Firestone High School has long presented some of the finest
student productions in Northeast Ohio. Thousands of talented actors and
directors have passed through our doors over the years and now many of them
have gone on to other very successful professional theatrical careers. Many
Firestone grads are working on Broadway, in films, and on television, as
well as in other professional venues in cities such as New York, Chicago,
and Los Angeles, among many others.

            Firestone has more recently become the home of the high school
component of the district’s nationally recognized Visual and Performing Arts
Program. Students from throughout the area make a daily trek to west Akron
to take advantage of our arts curriculum. Students select from five
successful programs: choral music, dance, instrumental music, fine art, and
theatre. Each program is intensive and designed for the serious student who
is intent on pursuing a career in the arts.

            Firestone Theatre is the play production component of this
program and features a full season of plays and musicals. We provide
students with the opportunity to appear on stage and contribute to the
creative process via a backstage or technical role. Firestone students are
not just actors but also designers, technicians; our students design sound,
lights, scenery, props, ad many other aspects of production.  Students run
the equipment, pull props, play an instrument for the musical pit, focus
lights, sell tickets, and record sound effects as well as build, paint, and
move scenery.
