Production
History
Since opening its doors in the 1991–1992 school year, the Worthington Kilbourne High School Theatre Department has built a proud tradition of excellence on stage. What began as a brand-new program alongside the school’s founding has grown into a vibrant, dynamic department now celebrating its 35th season.
Over the past three and a half decades, our students have brought a wide range of productions to life—from classic dramas and contemporary plays to large-scale musicals and student-directed works. Each season reflects the talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit of our performers, technicians, directors, and educators.
As we celebrate 35 seasons of storytelling, we honor the countless students, staff members, families, and community supporters who have helped shape our legacy. Our history is not just a record of shows performed—it is a testament to the creativity, growth, and lifelong memories created on our stage since 1991.
