About Us!
Our Mission
At Edison High School, we are committed to exploring the dramatic arts both academically and artistically through our elective courses and our dynamic public performances.
The Edison Tiger Theatre Company (ETTC) began as a combination of two elective theatre classes (one beginning and one advanced) that worked to produce a series of productions each year to compliment students' work in the classroom. Over the past several years, this program has grown exponentially to include five Edison High classes ranging from the beginning theatre to Theatre IV to Tech Theatre,an active and diverse production calendar encompassing many theatrical genres and styles. Our classes engage around 250 students annually in active artistic learning and development, and, thanks to Drama Club and ETTC's production component, we also strive to create opportunities for all interested Edison students to engage in and explore the dramatic arts whether or not they are part of one of our classes.
For more information on how you can get involved in ETTC as a student, actor, technician, club member, volunteer, or parent/community supporter, please contact Mrs. Ankrum using the link below or visit our headquarters in D102.
