Phyliss Jaffe,
Theatre Arts Chair, Director

I am pleased to introduce you to the Saxon Stage On Cue. (SSOC) parents dedicated to supporting and promoting the theatre arts at LHS.   This parent group coordinates fundraising, organizes volunteers, and lends administrative support to facilitate the goals of the Theatre Arts program. As President along with our Board of Directors of SSOC we look forward to this new partnership so Ms. Jaffe can focus on teaching, directing, and pursuing quality competitions for students. On the “wish-list” for fundraising – money for scripts, master classes, video set-up needs, plans to convert the theatre lab (room 101) into a “legitimate theatre,” prop room enhancements, and storage facilities for production materials. Another goal, in the future is helping students defray trip expenses. PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING for SSOC - your contribution (time or money) can make a difference!!!
