Written By: Sydneye Olkowski (2014) It has been a whimsical, exciting journey from the first read-through of Homestead High School Drama Club’s winter musical, “Brigadoon“, all the way back in December of 2012 to the first pit and cast rehearsal this past Sunday. With many new, especially underclassmen, to the musical stage, it has been … More Oh the Whimsy of it!

Written By: Haley Wittchow (HHS 2014) Yes there is magic in the theatre! Be it on Broadway, in Milwaukee, and YES at Homestead High School.

By Halee Newby (2014) It’s hard to believe that in exactly a month from today, the actors will be taking the stage. Brigadoon has really evolved and I could not be more excited about it! To be perfectly honest, I was a little nervous about it, as I am with every play or musical we … More One Month Away

Stage crew has the harder job of making a house stand on stage without falling, but Tech Theatre also had a challenge. The Tech Theatre class took two weeks to build and paint the bridge used in … More Life Skills

Just a little under a year ago Homestead Theatre started this blog and I’m surprised it’s lasted this long… yes there were a lot … More The Year in Review
45 high school students sit in a circle speaking in unison, “The dairty pairple kairtains.” They are learning a Scottish Accent for the musical Brigadoon, so “the dirty purple curtians” becomes a garbled mess of glottal stops and rolled R’s. It’s fun to listen to them learn a new way to form their words. Jill … More Scottish Accent Work
Monday after school my break ended, I no longer could go home at 4pm. Me being able to do this was rare to begin with, but nonetheless I liked that two week break where I could pretend to have a life outside the theatre.
