Theater
Page Senior High School's performers are known as the Page Playmakers. Page Senior High is Troupe #7253 of the International Thespian Society. The Page Playmakers are currently under the direction of Laura White. The Page Playmakers usually follow a show schedule similar to this:
- Cabaret of Life, a variety show of short skits, songs, and dances based around a central theme.
- Two Winter Repertory Shows, for which the Playmakers find a local director. For the 2011-2012 season, the winter season has been reduced to a single show, a special holiday production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol
- A spring Musical.

Famous quotes containing the word theater:
“All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
“The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet’s task to turn it into an audience.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
