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:
“Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“The theatre is supremely fitted to say: “Behold! These things are.” Yet most dramatists employ it to say: “This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action.””
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
“Art is for [the Irish] inseparable from artifice: of that, the theatre is the home. Possibly, it was England made me a novelist.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
