About Midlakes Theatre
The high school theatre club each year produces a fall play in Midlakes Black Box Theatre and a spring musical on the stage of the Midlakes High School Auditorium.

Rehearsals for the fall show begin in early September with performances typically in early November. Auditions for the spring musical begin in early December with performances typically in mid-March.
