At the end of every theater season, we make time to celebrate our graduating seniors with a tradition we call Senior Circle.

All of our students gather together to share stories of how they first met, laugh about favorite memories, and talk about how these incredible seniors inspire them. We also present each graduate with a printed photo from their time on stage. It’s always an emotional night, but it's the perfect way to wrap up their high school theater experience.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to .j.sonsteng.photography for capturing these beautiful moments for us! Swipe through to see some of the magic.

Closing night was R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S (ly) special! Not only because it was our seniors' last show, but our friends from Federal Way High School (and a few from Decatur) came out to support us along with our family and friends.
Turn your volume UP! You can actually hear them singing along with our ensemble from their seats in this clip of "RIDICULOUS"! The chaotic energy in the theater that night was unmatched.

The Final Bow.

And just like that, the curtain has come down on our 2026 season.

Tonight was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our audience was the absolute biggest we have ever had, and the energy in that room was completely electric. But what really made tonight unforgettable wasn't just the size of the crowd—it was the heart. The emotion and the tears were felt throughout the entire theatre tonight, from the front row of the audience all the way to the back of the house.

Taking this picture... that’s when reality really hit. Seeing our seniors standing center stage, holding hands, and taking their very last bow under these lights brought absolute floods of tears backstage and in the seats.

To our seniors: You have poured your absolute hearts into this stage. You didn't just put on an incredible show; you built a safe space, a family, and a legacy that the younger kids will look up to for years. The theater is going to feel a whole lot quieter without your laughs, your energy, and your leadership.

To our cast, our incredible crew who works tirelessly in the dark, and every single parent and community member who bought a ticket, built a set, or cheered us on—thank you. We couldn't do any of this without you.

It’s never a real goodbye in theater. It’s just "until the next curtain call."

We love you, Class of 2026. Thank you for making it a night, and a season, we will never forget. 💔🎓✨

Live stream will be avaliable for tomorrow's closing show at 2pm, Sunday May 17th.
