FAQS

  • We production calendar includes a fall show, musical and UIL One Act Play. But we also have a haunted house, SDOAPS and Holiday Show.

  • Our black box is located near the tennis courts. Enter through the doors that say DRAMA. Other points of entry will usually be locked or lead you to other campus activities, thereby delaying your arrival.

  • No. Only the fall musical is professionally recorded as it is the only show where all principal characters use microphones. Without the use of microphones, the sound is not adequate for high-quality recording purposes.

  • We use a software program called SimpleTix for our ticket sales. All seats are reserved and require purchase online in advance or at the door on show night. Click on the link here to purchase tickets to one of our upcoming shows.

    IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) The fall musical is our highest attended show and tends to sell out; it is in your best interest to buy your tickets early and online before arrival. (2) Do not purchase tickets through any other venue than SimpleTix. Only SimpleTix tickets will be honored at the door.

  • Simply visit our SimpleTix site and select the show you wish to see and the seat(s) you want. On the check-out page, there will be a box for you to enter your promo code.

  • Please email Matthew.Ybarra@fortbendisd.gov to reserve your tickets as soon as possible to ensure you do not arrive to a sold out performance.

  • Yes! Any student can audition for any of the Elkins theatre productions. This includes freshmen! The directors do not pre-cast any shows; they cast based on who is best for the roles based on their auditions. All information regarding auditions can be found on our Audition / Tech Crew Info page.

  • Each mainstage production has a production fee associated with it for all students involved and it varies for actors and crew members. Production fees cover the costumes and show shirts. Our directors always shop around, and every effort is made to keep the cost down as much as possible. This fee is not set until after the production has been cast to make sure no student is discouraged from participating based on a production fee. If a student is unable to pay a production fee, payment plans and scholarships are available upon conversation with the director of the production.

  • Our Front of House is AWARD-WINNING! We need a lot of help before shows to get the lobby decorated and ready for attendees. So when the call comes out for Parent Work Days, please consider helping. The great news is you don’t need to be a Booster member and we don’t need you for the entire day (unless you want to)! Simply sign up for any amount of time you can give. Our Boosters will give you the necessary supplies and put you to work on a task you are comfortable with to lighten the load on everyone’s plate. Check the Calendar for Parent Work Days around upcoming show dates and join the fun!

  • No. Thespians are a group of students within a completely separate organization from theatre students; however, theatre students are allowed to join Thespians if they choose! The ETC Thespian Troupe has certain requirements that must be met before a student can be inducted into this society. All information regarding this society can be found on our Thespian Troupe page.

  • The theatre banquet is open to any student who has been involved with a show during the school year (cast, crew, volunteer). Any students who have taken theatre classes during the year may also attend the banquet. Additionally, booster members are welcome to attend.
