INSTITUTIONS
This section is dedicated to the South High Theater
alumni who have become part of institutions for theater, film, or
the arts. As we all know, there's more to theater than just the
performers up on stage. This is our way of acknowledging more than
just the tip of the iceberg and recognizing the many
accomplishments and achievements of our South High Theater alumni.
(In general, the idea is that if you're contributing creatively to
a specific show -- acting, directing, editing, designing, stage
managing, writing, or the like -- the show will be spotlighted up
above. But if you're on the board or own the company or running
the theater's box office, this is the place for it.)
