Want to take it a step further? Consider joining our fantastic Theatre Club! As a member, you'll be updated with news on upcoming events within our area, invited to our club's activities and special events, and also have the opportunity to audition for real on-stage productions and delve deeper into the world of theatre. Whether you're an energized actor, an aspiring director, or a valuable crew member, Countryside High Theatre is a place for everyone.
Director
Ms. Jennifer Wills is very excited to be the theatre director at Countryside High School! Ms. Wills has a bachelor’s degree in Drama and a master’s degree in Integrated Arts in Education, both from the University of Montana. She has worked professionally for theatre companies in Montana, Seattle and Cincinnati and previously taught at John Hopkins Middle School and Largo High School. When she's not making magic happen onstage, you’ll find her traipsing around Disney with her handsome husband or volunteering for local animal shelters. Ms. Wills is extremely honored to be the sponsor for Countryside Troupe 900 and thanks her amazing Thespians for their support, hard work, and dedication to the performing arts.
