The Open School Theatre Company is Proud to Present the World Premier of: The DramAddicts  

Written by the Open School Theatre Company 

A group of high school theatre students start out their school year only to discover their drama teacher has quit, and they will not be able to do a show. With no leadership or money, but plenty of moxie, this rag-tag group of students work through their drama and come together to produce a show they can all be proud of! 

Featuring scenes from Steele Magnolias, Antigone and The Greater Good, and music from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Dear Evan Hanson, Something Rotten, Into the Woods, Company, Mamma Mia and Newsies. 

Jefferson County Open School (JCOS) is the original Jefferson County School District option school. Since 1970, the Open School has provided a viable, vibrant, and life changing alternative to conventional schooling. JCOS features a Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade environment with multi-age groupings throughout the school. At all levels students work closely with their Advisor in the development of their personal curriculum. Both individually and in groups, Advising is about developing strong, caring relationships between adults and students, and between students and students. JCOS is committed to preserving educational choices for all students and parents. In the face of increasing standardization, our emphasis on personal, social, and intellectual development helps to prepare students for an ever-changing world.
