The South Plantation High School theater program is seeking a new director

We want to share that Ms. Nicolette Trivlis has resigned as the Theater Director at South Plantation High School. We sincerely thank her for her dedicated two years of service to the school and the Paladin Players. Her passion and commitment have left a lasting impact, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

As we look ahead to the upcoming school year, we are excited to announce that we are seeking a new director to take the reins of this vibrant program. The successful candidate will be leading an established theater program that specializes in "theater for the deaf." While experience working with the deaf and hard of hearing or knowledge of ASL is helpful, it is not required. Most important is a genuine desire to learn—support is plentiful, and your support system will be amazing!

South Plantation High School’s feeder school, Seminole Middle, boasts one of the district’s top middle school theater programs, ensuring a talented and eager group of future thespians.

The school administration is extremely supportive of the arts and eager to have a new director in place as soon as possible to continue this inspiring work.

If you believe you’re a good fit or know someone who might be, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@fott.org or contact the school directly.

Thank you for your interest and as always, your support of the theater arts at South Plantation High School.
