The Fort Scott High School Thespians are hosting their 7th Annual Royal-Tea and Friends Party this Saturday, October 12 from 10 a.m. to noon at the FSHS Commons area and Courtyard.
“This is an annual fundraiser for the FSHS Thespian Troupe,” said teacher Angela Bin. “Many students play their chosen character throughout high school and some pass their character on to an underclassman when they graduate.”
The thespian students provide a snack, activity or craft and dress as their chosen character.
“We also have costumes that the children who attend can dress up in if they choose to,” Bin said.
In this land of make-believe children can join their favorite princesses and princes, queens and kings and other members of the royal court.
They are invited to take photos with favorite characters as they make crafts, have treats and play games.
Over 30 FSHS Thespians will be dressed in character and lead the event.
New this year is the inclusion of superheroes, villains and other cartoon characters.
Attendees are encouraged to come in costume as well.
Tickets for this special event are $5 per child and must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets may be purchased online in advance at fortscotthighschool.ludus.com or at the door.
Featured characters are the stars of the FSHS Fall Musical – Frozen Jr.
They include Junie Fisher as Elsa, Chris Newman as Anna, Theodore Bowman as Olaf, and Mykael Lewis as Kristoff.
FSHS performs Frozen Jr. on Nov. 12 and 14 at 7 p.m. and on Nov. 16 at 2 and 7 p.m.
