About the Friends of the Theater
Our Mission
The SPHS Friends of the Theater is a parent booster club for the nationally recognized, award winning performing arts program at South Plantation High School. Our mission is to enhance the value of education of the arts for both the hearing and hearing impaired through community involvement and parental participation.
We were incorporated under the name South Plantation Friends of the Theater in 2006 to support theater arts and education at South Plantation High School, located in Broward County, Florida.
What We Do
Our organization and it's volunteers support the SPHS theater program in many ways including:
- Fundraising
- Awards Scholarships
- Organize and staff concessions for performances
- Providing transporation to students as needed
- Purchasing meals for rehearsals (from monies provided by the students)
- Assist in buiding sets
- Assisting the theatre directors whenever possible
