THE SCOTTISH PLAY NEEDS YOU (LAST CALL OF THE YEAR) SDF #3: Macbeth (we can say it here, you just can’t say it in the theater), May 29–31. The final Spring Drama Festival show of the year, which means it's the last time we get to do this together until the fall (some of us never again), so let's send it off properly. We need volunteers the way Macbeth needed a better life coach. Badly. Sign up HERE. And then buy tickets HERE.
ONE LAST CURTAIN CALL Join us for "The Final Bow: For the Drama Studio," as the LaGuardia HS Drama Class of 2026 takes the stage one final time at Greenwich Village’s iconic Players Monday, June 8, 2026 at 7:00pm. Every dollar raised goes directly to the Drama Studio. All performance slots are filled (our seniors do not need to be asked twice), so the only thing left to do is grab your tickets and come watch them go out the way they came in - loudly, generously, and with excellent timing. Grab your tickets HERE. CASTING CALL: CLASS REPS FOR 2027 We need 2–4 parent volunteers to help make next year a triumph for our incoming seniors. The job is part cheerleader, part logistics, fully appreciated. Reply if you're in. Speaking of next year, SAVE THE DATE for our incoming senior headshots, an expense PODS happily covers, because a senior deserves to look like a star. More details to come, but current junior PODS, mark your calendars now: - Picture Day: Saturday, October 3
- Makeup Day: Monday, October 12
