HSPVA Friends

2026’s All-School Musical is Grease!

More than 200 students attended today’s interest meeting and we are incredibly excited to announce this year’s production will be directed by HSPVA alumnus Kevin Cahoon (Theatre ’89), who joined students on Zoom at the meeting.

Cahoon’s Broadway credits include the original casts of The Lion King, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Wedding Singer, and Shucked, which earned him a 2023 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.

Join us October 16–18 & 23–25, 2026.
