High School
Musicals at Elk County Catholic High School have not only become a celebration of student talent but also allow a chance for the entire Elk County community to come together in support of our students’ talents and abilities. A slew of parents, former parents, family members, and friends volunteer their time to help with hair, makeup, set and prop construction, sound and lights. A live orchestra composed of professional adults sit side-by-side with student musicians to provide the musical accompaniment. After months of practice, all the aspects of the performance are integrated seamlessly so that when the lights go on, students can shine both in the footlights on stage and in the not-often-seen, but just as important, backstage production. At the high school level, students entertain and inspire the audience with full-blown performances of popular Broadway musicals. The musical, Cats, was under the direction of Mr. Jason Phipps. Prior to this, Mr. Ted Hanes directed dozens of musicals during his time at ECCHS. Mr. Phipps will continue to direct our future shows.
