Theatre
The Theatre Department at PCHS is a young but growing program that has become known for its high-caliber productions. Some of the recent productions at PCHS include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan the Musical, The Monkey's Paw, Pochahontas, Aladdin Jr., and Crazy For You. Since 2008 the Theatre Department has been headed by Jeremy Gossett, a Broadway Scenic and Lighting Designer, and also a Pell City native. Under Mr. Gossett, the theatre program has grown from approximately 20 students to over 200 involved in classes and production work. Kimberly Myers, who has choreographed many of the recent productions has also been instrumental in making Pell City High School one of the leading performing arts oriented schools in the southeast.
Pell City High School has recently recomissioned their charter with the International Thespian Society as ITS troupe #2012.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:
“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
“The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
