Thomas Harrison Middle School put on a fantastic production of William Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. The student actors rose to the challenge of difficult language and did a job that made us all proud. Thanks to the student actors and their directors for a quality experience!

Recently Harrisonburg High School performed this year's one act competition play "The Invasion of the Earth as it Began in Grover's Mill, NJ". The production was fantastic! The night was also used to pass out the State Championship rings to last year's cast. It was an amazing fun night! Thanks to all our student actors and their directors, you make us very proud!
