The Hammond High School Theatre Department is comprised of students in theatre courses as well as students involved in the department's production and activities.
HHS Theatre produces two major productions each year - a fall
play and a spring musical. Any student who is academically
performed by Advanced Theatre students and an improvisation group (Dramastics) performs in the spring. We seek to be an
inclusive, creative, and collaborative department where artistic
and personal growth are our highest goals.

Plot Synopsis:
The S.S. American, sailing from New York to England, carries an unusual
group of passengers. Included amongst them are a gangster (Moonface
Martin), a wealthy debutante and her mother (Hope and Evangeline
Harcourt), a nightclub singer (Reno Sweeny), and a wealthy New York
businessman and his stowaway assistant (Elisha Witney and Billy Crocker).
It turns out that Hope is Billy's long-lost love. Unfortunately, she is
now
engaged to a wealthy Englishman, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. After a series
of
comedic happenings, Billy manages to win back Hope. Meanwhile, Billy's
friend, Reno, manages to seduce and win Lord Evelyn. All this happens
while Moonface Martin attempts to escape the law and Hope's mother, who
strives to maintain her social status. The show features catchy Cole Porter

The Story:
At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive
young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening. The shock sustained by the Kirbys, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows Alice
that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores, however, though sympathetic to Alice, find it hard to realize her point of view.
Meantime, Tony, who knows the Sycamores are right and his own people wrong, will not give her up, and in the end Mr. Kirby is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores, particularly since he happens in during
a visit by an ex-Grand Duchess, earning her living as a waitress. No
mention has as yet been made of the strange activities of certain members
of the household engaged in the manufacture of fireworks; nor of the
printing press set up in the parlor; nor of Rheba the maid and her friend Donald; nor of Grandpa's interview with the tax collector when he tells
him he doesn't believe in the income tax.
