Pinocchio is coming to NHE in 2018!!!

Join us for a treasured tradition at NHE—the PTA School Play! We are thrilled to have Terence and Angela Kelley return as our professional directors/choreographers. We will proudly be presenting the timeless classic, Pinocchio, with several creative twists thoughtfully added to the script by our talented directors. This will allow ALL students in the play an opportunity to shine.Second through fifth grade students will be able to participate andregistration packets will be available on January 15th.

Note: Only 3rd-5th graders will attend an audition. If your child is in second grade, he/she will be assigned to a fun group part. One of the best parts of our play is that all students who register/audition will be given a part.

We need a few volunteers for our audition day which will take place onMonday, January 22nd. It is a short time commitment (2:10-2:45 for the majority of help). We need helpers to facilitate getting each student who is attending the audition his/her audition number. (All materials are provided.) We also need some helpers to manage the traffic flow of all the students attending the audition. Click HERE to volunteer for cast auditions. As many of you know, we rely on lots of volunteers to make this play possible. In fact, volunteering in some capacity is a requirement if your child would like to participate in the play.Thanks in advance for your support!! Here are volunteer opportunities we have right now: Pinocchio 2018
