Miami Valley Theatre Association
In June 2023, students from the Butler Drama department earned awards for their performances in our fall play, The Curious Savage, and our spring musical, Little Women. The Miami Valley High School Theatre Association adjudicates several high school productions throughout the area during the school year. Twenty-six schools participated during the 2022-2023 school year with a total of approximately fifty productions were included in the process.
Judges adjudicate the show/actors on different criteria and students receive a score and comments on their performances and production values.
