WAYS TO STAY INFORMED
E-NEWS
We'll send an email newsletter when we have lots of information to share with parents and students about upcoming opportunities, but our announcements are primarily made on Band. The E-News registration adds you to our email contacts and allows you to share volunteer interests.  Sign up here.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Our Facebook page (CentervilleHSTheatre) is where we share fun pictures and posts about what’s happening.  Similarly, our Instagram (@CHSTheatreCo) is run by S.T.A.G.E. officers.
PAPER
Everything we do comes with some kind of handout, form, calendar, or packet.  Take time to review what you receive.
BAND APP
We use Band for short-term announcements and reminders.  This is our primary method of communication.  Download a start-up guide here.
