Though Smithville High School has produced plays and musicals for many years, the birth of a dedicated co-curricular theatre program in Smithville began with the construction of a multi-million dollar Performing Arts Center in 2012.

Initially, SHS produced one full-length musical each Fall and one full-length play each Spring.  In the 2020-2021 school year, a third full-length play was added to that schedule. Now, SHS Theatre produces a co-curricular mainstage show each Fall, Winter, and Spring as well as smaller productions prepared as part of direct classroom instruction.

Our mainstage season is finished for the year- thanks for a great 2023-2024 season!

Below you will find a detailed production history, visually cataloging more than a decade of theatre in the Smithville Performing Arts Center!

The list includes SHS Theatre productions open to public audiences- an * indicates a show produced as part of a school-day class. Shows without an asterisk are "mainstage" productions produced outside of school hours.
