Southeastern Players
This is the official website for the Southeastern Players high school drama troupe for Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School. The drama troupe was formed 8 years ago by Kerri Cooper & Christopher Crossen-Sills with the purpose of bringing a high-quality drama program to the Southeastern Regional community. Up until that point, the theatre was not a part of the school system but since it's inception, the program has grown. Over the 8 years, the troupe has provided quality entertainment and educational opportunities for the students of the school. We at the troupe hope to bring the best educational opportunities to future Southeastern students as well as quality entertainment to those who are looking for it.
