The Arts: Tragically in the shadows of Athletics
Set aside a specific budget amount each year for the Drama Department of Perris High School so the talented students of this school can have equal opportunities
Why is this important?
PHS is putting on the up and coming production of "West Side Story." As you can imagine, as with any musical, this is a tremendous undertaking. However, tragically, there are not costume or prop departments,so all things are left to the students to do and this creates unneeded stress on them while they are busy trying to perfect lines. There apparently was enough money to build a showcase glass for athletes and their achievements in the New Gymnasium but when it comes to the theater, we are constantly lacking. This is nothing short of a great inconvenience to say the least and it needs to be addressed at once.
