We’d like to give a huge shoutout to the students who dedicated their time and energy to this year’s Patron Fundraiser. We appreciate all of your hard work!

Thank you to the Bastrop Opera House, Pocket’s Grille, and the SHS Drama Club, who all contributed prizes for this year’s fundraiser incentives!

Our annual Patron Fundraiser is back for it’s seventh year, and we can’t wait to partner with local business and community members to support theatre in Smithville!

If you’re interested in becoming a Tiger Theatre Patron, print a copy of a Friends and Family Patron or Business Order Form today. Once you’ve filled it out, you can turn your form in by mail, in-person at the high school front office, or you can simply hand it to one of our friendly theatre troupe members and they’ll turn it in for you!

 

Congratulations to the cast & crew of our 2024 fall play, The Game’s Afoot!

We’re excited to announce our fall show: Ken Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot!

ABOUT THE PLAY:

It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.
