Parents

Welcome to the Theatre Arts Guild page, a place for keeping parents informed and up-to-date on ENCORE! activities, Thespian Troupe #148 happenings, and production activities.


Who are we?
The Theatre Arts Guild (TAG) is an organization of parents whose children are in the cast, crew, and pit of the theatres at both Grayslake High Schools - green room at North and ENCORE! at Central are student clubs that help put on the productions.  Our efforts and funds benefit the students.

It’s not difficult to donate!
Cans of the following Pepsi products:  Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist
- Bottles of Aquafina water
              *These products will be resold as concessions during the shows         
Other brand water for use backstage during productions

These donations can be dropped off to Ms. Ritter at Central, or they can be left in the front office with Ms. Ritter’s name on them!

It’s not difficult to volunteer!
    - Selling concessions:  During the plays, we sell the donated drinks and cookies (we bake the cookies at the school).  This is about a 2 ½ hour shift. 
    - Cast/Crew Dinners:  Groups of parents work together to provide dinner for the cast, crew, and pit on dress rehearsal nights.
    - Costumes/Construction: Set construction crews often seek help from handy (and sometimes not-so-handy) parents.  Similarly, parents who like to sew or are crafty can always help with costumes!

We’d Love to Have You Join!
We meet at the school in the past on an “as-needed” basis, and we only ask for as much time as you are capable of or willing to give - we don't require any parental involvement but WELCOME everyone. You might even find yourself having fun while supporting the students and their wonderful theatre program!
