It's a huge undertaking in every way - needing a huge set, intricate costumes, props, etc. - so they've put out this message:
Capital High School's Performing Arts Department was asked to stage The Phantom of the Opera and, of course, we accepted! HOWEVER, our technical department is currently a bit small and we need both building assistance and running assistance and would appreciate any you would be willing to give. We have nothing to offer for your time and effort but the appreciation of our departments, a place in the program, and my personal enduring gratitude! If you know ANYONE trustworthy who you think might be interested PLEASE forward this along with my email contact information!So if you'd like to be part of this historic effort, give them a call and sign up - it'll be a lot of work, but also a lot of fun!

My oh my, a high school theatre department that is actually interested in working with the community. Will wonders never cease. Good for Capitol. I hope they are incredibly successful.
Denise, it's certainly one of the few times I've seen a high school theatre group put out a call for help, and you're right, it's a good thing. Staging "Phantom" must be a massive challenge - smart of them to try to pull in all the help they can get.
This is amazing! A high school production of Phantom, I wish my high school would make that endeavor, do you know if it is possible for another school to do this as well? how could this be done? I wish them the best of luck, and I wonder if my school would be able to do this in upcoming years!
Antonia, I think this show was a trial run to see if it was feasible to offer "Phantom of the Opera: The School Edition" to high schools, much like they've done with "Les Miserables." But I have no idea when (or if) it'll be available to other schools. I'm sure there will be a long like of schools and theatre companies ready to tackle it!
