I work at Xavier High School, a Catholic prep school in Appleton, WI (about 100 miles north of Milwaukee). Although for six years I produced shows in a cafetorium setting, a fine arts wing, including a 750-seat proscenium theatre complete with flies, scene shop and dressing rooms was donated to our school by a single family in 1998.
Although we are not a fine arts school, many students enroll at Xavier because of our strong fine arts programs. In addition to the usual musical and straight show combinations, I direct a huge Christmas revue, which raises about 65K per year for the fine arts program, and an Easter pageant, which raises an additional 10K for tuition assistance. Additionally, our drama teacher directs two or three one-act children's shows each year (we have block scheduling which really helps in producing the one-acts). We also produce a Freshman play (usually a one act or series of one-acts) which are open only to members of that class.
