Newberg High School Drama Club
Our Story
Newberg students presented how they produce the Shakespeare plays to a national conference.
We were then nominated to apply to the American High School Theatre Fringe Festival. We were selected to be one of 15-20 high schools from all over the U.S. and Canada to perform at the Edinburgh Festival - the largest arts festival in the world. We are honored to represent the U.S. at this auspicious event.
What is AHSTF?
In 1994, the American High School Theatre Festival was developed with the help of high school and college drama professionals. Our festival is designed to complement high school drama programs and allow our nation's best drama students to showcase their skills within an international forum. Questions?

What will these students bring back to Newberg?

- The experience of participating in and viewing the best performances on an international stage.
- A once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about themselves and other cultures.
